Tuva is a part of Russia, inhabited by a Turkic people. Tuvans are known abroad for khoomei (xöömej), a kind of overtone singing. Traditionally, Tuvan music was only a solo effort. The musician's intention was usually to emphasise timbre and harmonics over rhythm. Performances were often in places with good natural acoustics, such as caves, cliffs, and rivers, with the performer taking long pauses to allow nature the chance to converse back. Modern Tuvan music usually involves ensembles of musicians playing multiple instruments, and tends to be more pulsatile than traditional forms.

  • La musique touvaine est une musique pratiquée par les Touvains, principalement de la République de Touva, peuple mongol turcophone d'Asie centrale. La musique traditionnelle touvaine est chamanique, et utilise des instruments comme l'igil, vièle à tête de cheval à petite caisse de résonance, différentes formes de tambour et des techniques vocales comme le khöömei, techniques vocales probablement originaires de l'Altaï et typiques du tengrisme, chamanisme d'Asie centrale.
