Powerful, unique, distinctive, modern and bright music of HARTYGA has created an incredible impression.

We are working to improve our art of playing the traditional Tuvan musical instruments and “kyrgyraa” and “hoomey” throat singing. We are aiming to combine it with the rhythms and instruments of jazz and rock. Our goal is to inject a new breath into both traditional folk music and modern tunes and rhythms of Tuva.

“Hartyga's sounds are so attractive because of their desire to create something unique, special. They do not aspire to adapt their music to masses. They just play root songs like they hear, and there is magic happens. They make sincere phonation. Hartyga force you to think about the roots of the jazz-fusion, psychedelic and hard rock. And the single thought that appears in your mind if there is a possibility that these genres grew up from tuvan folk?”

“Sometimes psychedelic, sometimes jazzy, sometimes the essence of rock’n’roll the quintet are a band that needs to be on every playlist anywhere in the world even if only to pull out when you fancy a whisky to rasp a sore throat”

"It's fresh and solid talent; powerful sound rich in frequencies and soaked in overtones to squelching".
