The competitive spirit is an integral part of the updated cultural program. A series of creative tournaments will become one of the points of attraction for visitors to the RUSSIA EXPO. The tournaments will show the diversity of traditions and cultural trends in the country.

The new program of the Exposition was opened by the Tournament of throat singing masters of Sayano-Altai storytellers. Young performers and honored artists competed in the art of traditional singing. Unique vocal customs of Altai, Tuva and Khakassia together with exceptional performance on traditional musical instruments transported the audience into the world of Siberian legends.

The participants competed by presenting different techniques. Altai artists sang in the kai style, guests from Tuva - in hoomei, which allows you to achieve polyphony, and performers from Khakassia showed the style of hai, which allows not to get tired for hours. Each performance was accompanied by a story about the symbolism and meanings embedded in the song.

Emil Terkishev and Oigor Terkishev from the Altai Republic, Mongun-ool Mongush and Sydymoglu Kuular from the Tuva Republic, Evgeny Ulugbashev and Kamat Shalgynov from the Republic of Khakassia participated in the tournament. In a persistent struggle the spectators chose the storytellers from the Republic of Altai as the winners!

The tournaments will continue throughout the Exposition and will gather participants from all over the country.
