“…There are some girls and young women performing khoomei. If I am asked about my attitude to them, I will answer I am positive and support them. There is nothing bad and disgraceful about it. Their voices are given to them by nature, by their mothers. There is a legend, they say, that many years ago it was women who began performing khoomei. It may be true. But years are passing, the times are changing. There used to be a time when female performers were discarded and from that time on women stopped performing khoomei. But we have female ministers, female presidents. Why shade there not be female khoomeizhi’s? We know many women-khoomeizhi-performans. I have personally been advising one girl from Mongun-Taiga and listened to another girl’s voice from Khondeleng. There are three more girls in my boarding school. Female voices are particularly beautiful and unique. I think we can organize, in the course of time, a group of female khoomei-performers, called “Daughters of Tuva” (Tyva Kyzy)”
