Mountain Music of Kyrgyzstan featuring Tengir-Too March 25, 2006

Tengir-Too is a new ensemble that plays old music. The group takes its name from the eponymous mountain range that towers over the high alpine passes linking Kyrgyzstan and China, and is better known by its Chinese name, Tien-Shan, or "Celestial Mountains." Founded and directed by the composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Nurlanbek Nyshanov from the town of Naryn, the Tengir-Too Ensemble presents the various aspects of Kirghiz music. This music has its roots in the heritage of nomadic peoples who for centuries wandered this vast landscape of mountains, lakes and pastures.
