The Tuvan singer Sainkho Namtchylak is regarded as one of the most radical voices of our time. She employs overtone singing (khöömei), in which several tones are produced simultaneously, and traditional laryngeal techniques. Her voice transcends boundaries: between 3,000-year-old Tuvan tradition and noise avant-garde, between ritual incantation and contemporary improvisation, between language and sound.

As part of Cantadoras, she meets the Bashkir sound artist Stas Shärifullá, alias HMOT, who grew up in Siberia.
What can a voice be? Ritual, resistance, myth and knowledge keeper? Visionary, memory and healing? The new series Cantadoras brings together outstanding women artists who radically pose this question, each in their own way, tradition and practice. Various vocal techniques meet improvisation and performance, spiritual practice meets political resistance, centuries-old traditions meet progressive sonic art. In the first season, the new concert series by Unlimited combines overtone singing from Tuva, Persian vocal traditions from Iran, music from Karnataka, Ukrainian polyphonic singing and Ethiopian-Swedish vocal art.
