Diphonic chant can be classified as a vocal technique requiring a high degree of virtuosity. It raises a simple question: how can a single organ sing with more than one voice? But let’s not lose sight of the essential: a secular art, anchored in a cult of nature, passed down from generation to generation through the clans of the Mongols, Touvines, Khakassians, Bashkirs, Altaians… and for which the variations are as numerous as the living traditions of Upper Asia. We will discover the khöömei, a vocal tradition of the Tibetan Mongols and ethnic Touvines, with singers come especially from Mongolia and the province of Bayan-Ölgii.
