Tuva "a federal subject of Russia (a republic, also defined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation as a state).[12]
The Tuvan republic lies at the geographical center of Asia, in southern Siberia. The republic borders the Altai Republic, the Republic of Khakassia, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Irkutsk Oblast, and the Republic of Buryatia in Russia and Mongolia to the south. The region is also claimed by the Taiwanese major political party Kuomintang as part of the Republic of China. In the 2010 Russian census, the territory claimed a population of 307,930 (2010 census).[7] Its capital is the city of Kyzyl.
From 1921 to 1944, Tuva constituted a sovereign, independent, but partially recognized nation, acknowledged only by its neighbors the Soviet Union and Mongolia."{Wikipedia)
Culturally, the Tuvans are very close to the Mongolians and Tibetans, with Buddhism and shamanic local religions practiced by the roughly 300,000 people. Musically they share much with the Mongolians, specifically various styles of throat singing where the performance can produce two or more sounds simultaneously.
Tuva became famous on the world stage when one of its great singers Kongor ol Ondar toured extensively in the 1990s, working with various world artists.

Popular music in Tuva has combined traditional throat singing and instruments with a more upbeat style. One example is the band Huur0huur-tu. The first piece in this video is a prayer in the style of Tibetan overtone styles, followed by a piece inspired by horseback riding (common to these nomadic cultures). Traditional instrument used here are:

Mongolia,[b] is a landlocked country in East Asia. It is sandwiched between Russia to the north and China to the south, where it neighbours the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Mongolia does not border Kazakhstan, although they are separated by only 37 kilometres (23 miles). It covers an area of 1,564,116 square kilometres (603,909 square miles), with a population of just 3.3 million, making it the world's most sparsely populated nation. Mongolia is the world's largest landlocked country that does not border a closed sea, and contains very little arable land, as much of its area is covered by grassy steppe, with mountains to the north and west and the Gobi Desert to the south. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to roughly half of the country's population.(Wikipedia)
The main religious practices, suppressed during the communist period of 1920-1990, are Tibetan Buddhism and shamanism. Shamans are being trained again and have become popular. The use of frame drums is particularly notable.

Traditionally, the majority of the population has been nomadic, herding sheep, yaks, goats, and horse on the vast grassy plains. Like the Tibetans and Tuvans, musical instrument have had to be portable, with the two-string horse-head fiddle (morin huur) being iconic. It is used to accompany many vocal styles, such as the tight, ornate style known as Long Song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l9zhmgEqyM
The throat singing style known as Hoomii is often accompanied by Morin Huur. Here the noted singer Batorzig Vaanchig sings a song about Genghis Khan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_5yt5IX38I&t=22s
Mongolian popular styles have incorporated hoomii.
