The story

World of Siberia International Festival of Ethnic Music and Crafts in Shushenskoye

World of Siberia gathers throat singers, folk musicians, and craftspeople from across Russia and beyond in the rural, open-air setting of Shushenskoye, grown out of the earlier Sayan Ring tradition. Craft stalls sit alongside concert stages, so visitors move between a carved object in one hand and a drum rhythm ahead, letting Siberia's many peoples and instruments share one public platform.

World of Siberia matters because it gives ethnic music and craft traditions a shared public stage across a region too often imagined as empty space.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's value lies in giving ethnic music and craft traditions a shared stage across a region too often imagined as empty distance

02

The mystery stays covered

Throat singing and folk instruments make that distance audible, while craft stalls keep the programme grounded in hands and materials rather than performance alone

03

The city starts moving

Shushenskoye's rural, open-air setting gives Siberian culture room that an indoor concert hall could not, and because the programme gathers many distinct ethnic traditions without flattening them into one generic showcase, visitors leave with a clearer sense of the region's actual diversity rather than a single blended impression
