Olena Podluzhnaya, with the stage name UUTAi, is a singer and khomus player from Yakutia, Russia.
Ms. Podluzhnaya says: “My native Republic is the world of endless snow and shamanic magic. I’ve been playing Jaw harp from the age of 7 and can’t imagine my life without this ancient musical instrument. It changed my life, opened a whole new world of secret knowledge, energy.”
The Yakutian artist focuses her musical efforts on meditative healing and is a neo-shamanic practitioner. In addition to the meditative music, she also adds her khomus playing to electronic club music, trance, techno and ambient music.
Ms. Podluzhnaya has crafted a YouTube Channel, appeared at the Mariinsky Theatre, Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Italy’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent and Das SuperTalent. Additionally, she has appeared at the Ancient Trance Festival in Taucha.
In 2021, Uutai released Dope. The album combines electronica and ancient sounds. It was recorded at Mars Records’ studio in Moscow in collaboration with electronic producers Thesys and Fostering Voyage.

COULD YOU TELL ME IF I CAN BUY A CD OF OLENA PODLUZHNAYA ? THANK YOU, LINDA
So far, we can only find digital versions. We’ll check with the record label.
Unfortunately, the album is only available in digital format at this time.
Exceptional. I have never encountered such a precise fusion between master nature and interpretation. It goes beyond anything I’ve heard so far. I’d like to buy a CD .
Where can I get it?
Kind regards
