Khöömei Beat

EUCD 2954

Modern-day masters of Khöömei singing – a unique and powerful form of music that has undergone a remarkable evolution over the last 30 years.

Khöömei Beat take the ancient music of their Tuvan ancestors and revamp it into a contemporary and uniquely powerful musical experience.

Featuring the razor-sharp and precise drumming of Bailak Mongush (Tuva’s reigning ‘First Lady of the Drums’).

Khöömei Beat are five outstanding musicians who excel in khöömei - Tuva’s unique style of throat singing.

An exhilarating mix of khöömei singing with razor-sharp drumming and earthy cello sounds that rush through the soul like the wind from an eagle’s wing. With the authentic Tuvan sounds of the doshpuluur, byzaanchy and igil, Khöömei Beat layer traditional and modern instruments with their distinctive vocals to create powerful arrangements with modern rhythms and electronic sounds.
