{ Sainkho Namtchylak è nata in un piccolo villaggio presso una miniera aurifera nella ex repubblica sovietica di Tuva, nella Siberia meridionale, vicino al confine con la Mongolia. I suoi nonni erano nomadi e i suoi genitori erano entrambi insegnanti. Ha studiato musica all’università locale ma le furono negate credenziali da professionista dal Comitato Filarmonico e pertanto si recò da sola a Mosca per completarvi gli studi.

Contemporaneamente allo svolgimento del normale percorso di studi all’università, ha anche studiato varie tradizioni siberiane lamaiste e sciamaniche, così come gli stili autoctoni di Tuva e della Mongolia di canto gutturale bifonico. Successivamente ha iniziato la sua carriera professionale come cantante folk , il Tuvan State Folk Ensemble, facendo tournèe in Europa, Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Stati Uniti e Canada.

Nel 1988 Sainkho iniziò a lavorare con musicisti in Unione Sovietica, sforzandosi di fondere elementi tradizionali etnici con generi d’avanguardia. E’ stata membro chiave del complesso Tri-O con Serjei Letov (sassofono), Arkadij Kiritschenko (tromba) e Alexander Alexandrov (fagotto). Quando Sainkho si unì al complesso suscitò l’attenzione della stampa occidentale a causa del suo aspetto così esotico. Improvvisamente il pubblico ebbe modo di incontrare tonalità strane, canzoni a due voci, melodie bifoniche fuse con il jazz, musica contemporanea e suoni d’ambiente in un contesto transglobale. Il canto bifonico gutturale mongolo era già noto in Occidente, ma da quel momento è stato liberato dalla sua nicchia nell’oasi del world-music esoterica.
