Sainkho Namtchylak is one of the few women from Tuva in Siberia to practice throat singing, a technique previously reserved for men. Struggling against misogyny at the beginning of her career, she has nonetheless released over forty albums. Sainkho and Grammy Award-winning producer Ian Brennan return with a collection of improvised songs recorded outdoors. Sainkho speaks four languages but chose for this album, Where Water Meets Water: Bird Songs and Lullabies, to sing phonetically in the "language of nature," with water as the main accompanying instrument. Her music is a blend of tradition and innovation, drawing from Siberian and Mongolian musical traditions to create contemporary and even avant-garde sounds, all tied together by her pure and enchanting voice.
