Well, what do you expect when you're on a shitty television show like that. You can't win with something that is not very mainstream and commercial, like the other guy said before me. These shows are made just for finding people that are naive enough for the medias to exploit and make into a product. And when that product (artist) is no longer popular, or, let's say profitable, they start bringing them down instead, and socially murder them in media for profits. I've listened to alot of Huun Huur-Tu and other mongonial/tuvan bands. It's definitely a unique genre, and most of the songs I've heard are either rocking awesome or peaceful and meditative. Other mongolian/tuvan bands to check out, for those interested: Alash - on spotify, more modern energetic style. Altai Kai - also very "modern" in it's style, but somehow a little different than the others. Perhaps it's a little more westernized, I dunno. That guy is very ignorant and naive coming to a show like this, with a style that is so far from what they expect, but you can tell the guy is obviously very new-age or some shit like that, so he probably just loves the attention. Either way, he is not that good at doing the different techniques anyways. Too bad people are stupid enough to bring such odd music to a place like that, obviously everyone is just gonna laugh at you, and you help making a silly reputation for that genre.
What's awesome is that the show inadvertently shed some light on this musical style by airing his performance, intriguing certain people (like myself and others in this thread) to the point of doing their own research. Fuck your pop culture, shit like this is infinitely more interesting to listen to and lends perspective.
