Siberia's Old Believers, Singing

Many MIR travelers who ride the Trans-Siberian Railway say that listening to Old Believers, singing, is a top highlight of their journey. Hear their UNESCO-preserved polyphonic harmonies in this concert in Tarbagatay, Siberia -- one of many lasting memories on MIR's Trans-Siberian offerings (goo.gl/CPcwMZ).
Old Believers are descendants of Orthodox Christians who rebelled against reforms to their liturgy and rituals in the 17th century. Many were exiled to Siberia, where they have preserved their 300-year-old culture and traditions. In this song, be sure to keep your eye on the little girl, the youngest Old Believer here.
