It originates among the nomads of the central Asian plateau, particularly the Altai and Sayan mountain regions of Mongolia and Tuva. The nomads of these parts have discovered how to sing melodies that arise from the universal harmonic overtone series. Listen to your own overtones as you discover the unknown depths and heights of your own voice. The workshop is open to anyone who wishes to explore the harmonic nature of their voice. Michael & Candida are the only Europeans blessed to teach the basic practices of Mongolian Khöömii by master singers Tserendavaa & Gereltsogt. Michael is the UK’s most experienced Mongolian Khöömii Overtone Singer, travelling to Mongolia since 1993 where he was initiated into the sacred & secular aspects of this amazing way of connecting to the power of the voice by senior keeper of the tradition Tserendavaa Candida Valentino is the only British woman to perform “Khargyraa, an undertone style of singing that has strong connections with shamanistic practices of Mongolia and Tuva.
