The "Khool Zhingel" Ensemble blending two musical worlds and two approaches to the sound perception. On the East there's Orda, Siberia, nomadic Turkic minorities, on the West there's Russia, the Slavic culture.

In the music of Khool Zhingel we can hear also the Russian folklore and authentic Tatar material, historically related to other Turkic traditions, like Tuva, Altai, Buryatia.
