| Album 2002 - Toma Tchousteyeva, Emil Terkish, Erturk Jety-Sary In the name of the ensemble "Üch Süme-R" we have a play of words (the name of the sacred mountain and two more semantic meanings). The words "üch süme" mean "three wisdom" or "three pieces of wisdom", at the same time semantic meanings of the words are "three souls" (="three men") as in the Altai language "süme" also means "soul", "spirit". The Ensemble Üch-Süme-R (means three peaks) was founded in November 2000 and participated in the International Festival "Delphic Games" 2000 in Moscow and in the International Ethnic Festival "Zhivaya Voda" 2001 in Altyn-Köl (Teletskoye ozero - Golden lake) in Altai. The repertoire of this ensemble comprises traditional folk songs from Khakasia and the Altai as well as the musicians' own songs. The ensemble recorded their first album "Kadyn Bazhy" (Belukha - means white mountain) in February 2001 in Abakan (means the Bear's Blood), Khakasia. |
