Tuva Culture
Tuva culture is rooted in the traditions of the Tuvan people, an indigenous group from the Tuva Republic in southern Siberia, Russia. Known for their rich oral traditions, Tuvans practice throat singing, or khoomei, which allows them to produce multiple pitches simultaneously. This unique musical style reflects their deep connection to nature and the spiritual world.
The Tuvan lifestyle is closely tied to their environment, with many people engaged in herding and nomadic practices. Traditional crafts, such as felt-making and wood carving, showcase their artistic skills. Festivals, like the Naadym, celebrate their heritage through music, dance, and sports, fostering community and cultural pride.
