Altai Kai is a band that occupies a unique position in the world of music, known for their masterful fusion of traditional Altai music with contemporary soundscapes. Rooted in the heart of the Altai Mountains, a region that spans the borders of Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan, their music serves as a bridge between the ancient and the modern. The group is celebrated for their deep commitment to preserving the Altai people's heritage, culture, and especially their throat singing technique, a hallmark of their music. This particular style, also known as "kai", is an ancient form of overtone singing that is not only a cultural treasure but has also been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Their discography, featuring albums like "Attu Kuresh", "Uluhan", and "Altai Kabai", showcases a blend of powerful vocals, traditional instruments, and storytelling that transports listeners to the vast landscapes of the Altai. The inclusion of live albums such as "Cradle Of Altai (Live)" and collaborations like "Kara Suu (Live) [feat. Aka Odko]" highlight their dynamic range and ability to engage with audiences in a vivid, immersive manner. With "Altai Tele", "Altyn Taiga", and "Altai Throat Singing", Altai Kai not only celebrates the beauty and depth of Altai culture but also introduces it to a global audience, inviting them to experience the profound spirituality and timeless narratives encapsulated in their music. Through their artistic endeavors, Altai Kai stands as a vibrant testament to the resilience and richness of indigenous musical traditions in the 21st century.
