Tuvans used to have their own country, but it is now part of Russia. They speak a Turkic language, are/were nomadic herders living in yurts, and are throatsingers.
My understanding is they were the first to do overtone throat singing in the area despite it being associated with Mongolians now.
Nice! I'll look into that. Years ago, I was obsessed with the Amur region, just north of China, and that led me to studying Russian. Then, while in China, I had an opportunity to move there, and I regret not taking it. Like... I want a do over! Gimme another chance, I'll actually go this time... π
