Altai kai


Altai Kai is a folk band from Altai Republic of Russian Federation founded by Urmat Yntaev in 1997. The band consists of two female and four male members. Their music features throat singing what is called kai in Altaic language, and several native musical instruments such as komuz and topshur. The subject of their music is often the nature and history of Altai, and heroism of its people.
