Sainkho Namtchylak, Singer from Tuva

Sainkho Namtchylak Sainkho Namtchylak is a wanderer between the worlds (as a german idiom would describe it). She was a member of the national ensemble of Tuva, left the remote republic in the south of Siberia and lived in Moscow. There she met jazz musicians and started a new career in the west. She lived in Vienna, Berlin and Moscow, but she never forgot her homecountry. Every year she invited western musicians to perform in Kyzyl and to learn about her country, her culture and her music.

In summer '98, Sainkho released a new CD:Naked Spirit

This CD, with Djivan Gasparyan as special guest, was released by amiata records in Italy. When I met Sainkho at the MIMI-Festival in July, she presented me the CD and asked me to introduce it at the web. Even if I am late, here it is.

Listen to Sainkho:

Sainkho: Naked Spirit 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.....

You can listen to one of the songs from this CD at Amiata. They have a very interesting program with wonderful CDs....

1997 was not a good year for Sainkho. She had left Vienna and came back to Moscow. She was just preparing her 40th birthday, which she wanted to celebrate in Kyzyl, when she was hurt very bad by a violent attack. She left the hospital after nearly 2 weeks there, and she is still suffering.
