	Concerted Efforts - Sainkho Namtchylak
		With her finely crafted overtone singing, knowledge of Siberian folklore, shamanistic ritual, and history in Russian folklore ensembles and free-jazz acts, Sainkho juxtaposes traditional styles of her Tuvan ancestors with the Western avant-garde, sailing from harmonious serenity to hissing, trilling, and wailing.
		Audiences are astounded by the diversity of sounds Sainkho can produce with her voice, from operatic tenor to birdlike squawks, from childlike pleas to soulful crooning; which at various moments elicit comparisons to Zap Mama, Patti Smith, Billie Holiday, and Nina Hagen.
		Sainkho claims that music and spirituality are related by desire, or the tension that yells to reawaken people.

	Sainkho Namtchylak, Stepmother City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Born in Tuva, Namtchylak was exposed to music through the songs of her grandmother.
		Namtchylak then moved to Moscow where she furthered her studies and began her initial collaborations with jazz and avant-garde musicians.
		Comparisons to Icelandic chartreuse Bjork are inevitable and apt, but Namtchylak's vocal style is singular and her music considerably more challenging.

		Sainkho grew up in an isolated gold-mining village, immersed in a culture where music was all pervasive and unselfconscious.
		Sainkho Namtchylak is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most weird artist I have ever heard.

		While Sainkho is a vocalist from Tuva, she does not sing solely in the distinctive throat singing that has popularized the name of that postage stamp nation, although there are sufficient examples here.
		As such, Sainkho is the avant-garde, experimental face of the contemporary Tuvan folk scene.
		Sainkho's unforgettable improvisations -- summoning for the mind an arena of the boundless steppes -- are here accompanied by mouth harps, varied ethnic percussion, and more, including master of the apricot-wood flute known as the dudu, Djivan Gasparyan, on the title track.

		Born in a small village near the Soviet republic of Tuva (south of Siberia, north of Mongolia), Namtchylak began her classical vocal studies as a young adult.
		Namtchylak’s most recent album, stepmother city (2000), is one of those fortunate finds among the non-mainstream music library.
		The beauty of Namtchylak’s stepmother city (2000) lies primarily in the use of her voice.

		'Sainkho probably won't come close to winning this, but she deserves to be represented.
		Six years ago, she was attacked by a white Russian who disapproved of Tuvan culture and was nearly killed, yet she had the strength and conviction to continue her work promoting Tuvan shamanic music, bringing it to new heights with a water-wild range of intonation.
		Sainkho has delivered a compelling, intriguing, and exciting new release that defies any rules of music but clearly follows her muse.'

		Tuvan vocalist Sainkho Namtchylak is a singer among singers.
		This collection of 13 pieces, many of them improvisations, is an attempt by Namtchylak to let the listener in to witness how she organizes that world.
		As her entire body moves into the heat of "song," the listener realizes that, on Namtchylak's part, there is no attempt to imitate anything, but instead to integrate, prioritize, and then deconstruct sounds, thus imbuing them with meanings that they might not otherwise be assigned.

	New Internationalist: Stepmother city: Saiinkho Namtchylak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Tuvan composer and singer Sainkho Namtchylak -- often hailed as an eastern equivalent of Bjork -- never makes clear exactly where her personal `stepmother city' is located.
		Namtchylak's practice has its basis in traditional Tuvan techniques -- her particular emphasis is on overtone or khoomii play -- but that's really only a starting point.
		Namtchylak's vocalizing moves from drones to chord-stretching shrieks in a manner that locates her more recent methods within a natural continuum.

	CD Review of Sainkho Namtchylak - Stepmother City on Ponderosa @ jazzreview.com
		Sainkho Namtchylak is a singer from Tuva, a country near Mongolia.
		She’s one of the masters of the art of throat singing, which is where a singer can produce several notes at once, one note being dominant and the others being harmonics.
		Sainkho N has sung in free improvisational contexts with multi-windperson Ned Rothenberg and in pop-tinged folk contexts, but here on Stepmother City she combines the avant/free, pop and ethnic approaches in a sleek, pulsing and melodic context.
