TENIR TOO (Kyrgyzstan)

Kenjegul Kubatova - Vocals, komuz
Kenjegul probably has the most beautiful female voice of Kyrgyzstan. She was born in Narin, an important musical centre of Kyrgyzstan, and finished the state conservatory in the capital Bishkek. In her singing she combines power, perfection and finesse from the extensive tone material of Kyrgyzstan.

Since 1998, he is conductor of the ensemble Ordo Sakhna and lecturer at the faculty of folkloric and traditional music.
