Life

Her parents were teachers , her grandparents were nomads . Already at a young age Namtchylak came into contact through her grandmother with the traditional (and especially male) larynx overtone singing of the Turkic peoples of South Siberia. From her they learned many traditional songs before 1975 training at the Academy of Music in Kyzyl began, she from 1981 at the Ipolitova-Ivanova- Academy in Moscow continued. She graduated from the Gnesin Institute in 1988 with a thesis on singing styles in the ritual music of Siberia. In addition to her education, Namtchylak was also a member of various music groups and, together with the folklore group Sayani, went on tour through parts of Europe, Asia and America from 1987 to 1989. Then she joined the experimental group Tri-O in Moscow, with whom she had appearances in the West. In 1991 she moved to Vienna for several years .
