He has since also established himself as a solo artists, and is a sought after collaborator for western musicians.

And he will give a main stage performance with «Chalama-project». "Chalama" is the Tuvan word for the coloured ribbons tied to the branches of trees in sacred places. The music of the project is an atmosphere, reproducing natural and ambient sounds and feelings from their homelands in Tuva.
