Sainkho Namtchylak




Sainkho Namtchylak at Moers Festival 2004, GermanySainkho Namtchylak (born 1957) is a singer originally from Tuva, a small autonomous republic in the Russian Federation just north of Mongolia. She is known for her Tuvan throat singing or Khöömei.

Style
Sainkho Namtchylak is an experimental singer, born in 1957 in a secluded village in the south of Tuva. She has an exceptional voice, proficient in overtone singing; her music encompasses avant-jazz, electronica, modern composition and Tuvan influences. In Tuva, numerous cultural influences collide: the Turkish roots it shares with Mongolia, Xinjiang Uighur and the Central Asian states; various Siberian nomadic ethnic groups, principally those of the Tungus-Manchu group; Russian Old Believers; migrant and resettled populations from the Ukraine, Tatarstan and other minority groups west of the Urals. All of these, to extents, impact on Sainkho's voice, although the Siberian influences dominate: her thesis produced while studying voice, first at the University of Kyzyl, then in the Gnesins Institute in Moscow during the 1980s focussed on Lamaistic and cult musics of minority groups across Siberia, and her music frequently shows tendencies towards Tungus-style imitative singing.

Career
After graduating, Sainkho worked with several ensembles: the Moscow State Orchestra; the Moscow-based jazz ensemble 'Tri-O' (since 1989); School of Dramatic Art under the direction of Anatoly Vasiliev (Moscow), various orchestras in Kyzyl, the Tuvan 'folkloric orchestra'—a far less sanitised example of folk baroque than, say, existed in pre-independence Kazakhstan—that has housed many of Tuva's other important singers. However, for several years Sainkho annually invited foreign musicians to Tuva to promote Tuvan culture.

In 1997, Sainkho was horrifically attacked by Tuvinian racketeers which left her in a coma for two weeks. Other sources maintain that she underwent surgery for a severe malignant brain tumor; regardless, 1997 marked an appreciable change in her life. Since then, she has been resident in exile in Vienna, and has also recorded more prolifically as a solo artist. Although she has released over thirty albums in the past twenty years, only seven have been entirely solo.

In 2005, the Italian publishing house Libero di Scrivere released a book of poetry Karmaland. In 2006 in Saint Petersburg, a book Chelo-Vek (in Russian, "A Human Being") was published in Russian, Tuvinian and in English.

Life is a great journey through illusion.
Every moment of this journey is so
intense. Some people play with it, some people
try to learn how to win, some people just pass through it!
... I am sinking into every passing moment.
And I am grateful for this illusion which
presents me every second with a new fruit
to taste. Sweetness, sorrow, anger,
happiness, passion and depression. All is
Fullness and Emptiness. Oh, what a taste!
... I'm born naked and I will die naked.
All I can take from this great illusion called
Life is my Spirit.....

Yaşam yanılsama üzerinden büyük bir yolculuktur. Bu yüzden bu yolculukta her an yoğundur. Kimi insanlar onunla oynar, kimi kazanmayı öğrenmek için didinir durur, kimi de yalnızca gelip geçer.
Ben her geçen anı derinlemesine yaşarım.
Ve bu yanılsamanın her geçen saniyesinin bana tadılacak yeni bir meyve sunduğu için minnettarım.
Tatlı anlar, üzüntü, öfke,
mutluluk, tutku ve depresyon. Hepsi
dolgunluk ve boşluk... Oh, ne bir tat!
... Çıplak doğdum , çıplak öleceğim.
All I can take from this great illusion called
Life is my Spirit...
