The "Khool Zhingel" Ensemble blending two musical worlds and two approaches to the sound perception. On the East there's Orda, Siberia, nomadic Turkic minorities, on the West there's Russia, the Slavic culture.
One of the experiments of the band is the attempt to blend Asian music of wild steppe, throat singing with the lyrics in Russian.
In the music of Khool Zhingel we can hear also the Russian folklore and authentic Tatar material, historically related to other Turkic traditions, like Tuva, Altai, Buryatia.
Line up:
Alexandr Batrakov: throat singing, vocals, igil, guitar, percussion, lyrics and music
Dina Bashkirova: vocals, violin, tin whistle, percussion
Vladiswar Nadishana: turkish kaval, hybrid kaval, futujara, hulusi, percussion
Bamboo Overtone Flute

The technique of playing and sound properties of this flute is very similar to slovak koncovka. And if you love russian kalyuka, but it's too hard for you to learn how to make a sound, then it's the option for you.

NEW!
Set of 13 Turkish Kavals ,
Very nice festival with old tradition, which is focused mostly on folk music from Italy with participation of folk and ethno-fusion music bands from over the world.
????
The festival goes a whole month long and travels through different cities of Italy. The finish concerts of the festival takes place in Spilimbergo, an old small sunny town (not far from Venice) with friendly and open people around.
? 
The life in Spilimbergo is really very relaxed. The town is dead between 12:00 and 17:00, the hottest time of a day:)
But in the evening all festival areas were full. There were 3 stages with rich program during the festival and near each about 500-800 listeners. Also by the concert of Nadishana, who finished the festival program.
The concert was really successful and people react very enthusiastic during it.
We also presented our music instruments and art object during the festival.

????????????
It is strange but presenting of music instruments is not typical for Folkest. We had only one neighbor stand with classical harps from Italy.
There were many people who saw such kind of instrument as a jew harp for the first time. But some already knew this instrument because in Sicily exists a similar one called "scacciapensieri" (what means in Italian: "it drives thoughts away") I saw how people liked our futujara and were very thankful for its presentation. Kuaamu also found theirs fans in Italy.
We enjoyed our stay in Spilimbergo, a city with a special south flavor. And we are really thankful to Andrea, Alessandro, Odette and other festival stuff for help and support during the festival.
Le Reve de l'Aborigine '09
Absolutely great festival! Julia Surba writes: At the beginning there were only two persons who brought and developed the idea of the festival: Sylvestre& Fred. On the pic below Nadishana (left) and Sylvestre (right)
This year the festival happens for the 8th time and as usual brings together many musicians and alternative people from all over the world. This time there were over 4.000 people who enjoyed their being together from 17th till 19th of July in a beautiful place in the nature near the city Airvault in France.
The festival is focused on didgeridoo, jew harps and throat singing.
On the festival area you could see many groups of people playing together just for fun or testing music instruments on many stands.

The first part of the day was full of different workshops (on the pic below? jew harp workshop of Nadishana)
and of open stage performances
and in the evening everybody was attracted by the rich and interesting concert program on the main stage under powerful cedar trees.
????
My personal favorites in the concert program were Doervoen Berkh-group with traditional throat singing (Mongolia), Dubravko Lapaine (Croatia) with his incerdible didg techniques and Nadishana (!). Sorry for no pics, I was filming during concerts:)
The remarkable side of the festival is that it is not only devoted to music but also present and support the alternative style of life. Everything goes in an ecological way.???? Alkohol on the festival is absolutely forbidden, what creates a very rare atmosphare of clearness, joy and pure celebration. We enjoyed it a lot!!! I didn t see any dust during all our beeing there (only in the dust bins :)).More than that on the festival you can find only very good organic food, and there is no use of one way dishes, people wash up themselves, doesn t matter if you are an orginizer of the festival or an artist or a visitor.
Me and Nadishana were very happy to be on the festival with the concert and???? stand with music instruments and art objects. 
? 
We also thank for good organization, for the interest to our art and for the great atmosphere during the concert of Nadishana. First time in my life I saw such sensitive and enthusiastic listeners!
I would also like to use the possibility to thank all people who sincere helped us during the festival. Long live Le Reve de l'Aborigine! I am sure we ll come back there again. It is really a place to be!
That was very special experience!
