Chirgilchin Tickets

Chirgilchin is a celebrated Tuva throat-singing quartet founded in 1996 by Alexander Bapa’s circle. The group brings together four of Tuva’s top vocalists and instrumentalists: Igor Koshkendey, Mongun-ool Ondar, Aldar Tamdyn, and Aidysmaa Koshkendey. Known for their remarkable mastery of khoomei, kargyraa, sygyt, and related vocal techniques, Chirgilchin performs with traditional Tuva instruments such as the doshpuluur and igil. Their work highlights a deep musical heritage with a modern reach, appealing to fans of world music and ethnomusicology alike.

Beyond studio albums, Chirgilchin’s members have earned international recognition through prestigious competitions and acclaimed collaborations. Igor Koshkendey’s connection to the Latin Grammy community stems from his involvement with Residente’s Somos Anormales project, contributing to a Best Urban Song accolade. The ensemble has collaborated with influential artists like Laurie Anderson, expanding Tuva’s sonic vocabulary on global stages.

For fans and concert-goers, Chirgilchin offers an immersive live experience that blends ancient khoomei vocal styles—such as borbannadyr, ezengiler, and sygyt—with the warmth of traditional Tuva instruments. The group remains active in touring, with past appearances in Japan (2022) and multiple tours across the United States and Europe. Secure your seats to witness one of the world’s most distinctive vocal traditions performed live.

Discography highlights a progression of albums from The Wolf and the Kid (1996) to Bisting Tyva (2017), with notable entries including Aryskan’s Wind (1999), Ezir-Kara (2002), Pictures of Tuva (2008), and Will Teach (2006). These recordings showcase the breadth of Tuva’s throat-singing practices and the ensemble’s skill in integrating traditional melodies with contemporary presentation.
