I got me a nice music CD today.it's called "Voices From Distant Steppe"
by Shu-de.It's a great album and AFAIK it's their first one.Album
includes many regular style Tuvan Music along with the Tuvan throat
singing style (Tuvans are well known for throat-singing).
Shu-de is the word a rider shouts to their horse, like "gee up" it also
means "good" or "excellent" in appreciation of a musical
performance.Shu-de use throat-singing for both lead and backing vocals
and combine the technique with the khomus (jaw's harp) which is tuned
to the voice of the singer.All songs are in tuvan language.
I'm not gonna post the whole album but a few favorite of me which those you can also find over web by different sources.

- Shyngyr-Shyngyr; the onomatopoeia of the title and song decribe the
sound of the ringing bells of the horse's bridle, while the lyrics
praise the beauty of the horse

song goes; "You have long black plaits, you are very beautiful.your
youth inspires me, I'd love to see you as long as I can, I'd love to
hear your voice of a nightingale as long as I can"
