Bugotak (Cyrillic: Буготак) is an traditional folk project found in 2004 in Novosibirsk, Russia, by Sayan Andriyanov, a multi-instrument player and throat singing performer. Bugotak plays Siberian music in a traditional basis, but their musical references are too diverse to be classified by genre (let's call it Siberian Contemporary music). They even dare to perform covers of rock classics, in their traditional Siberian instruments. The main idea of Bugotak’s art is that it is only traditions that develop with time stay alive; static traditions quickly lose their interest and relevance. Therefore, the group play in many styles and genres, thereby keeping native Siberian spirit alive, relevant and thriving.
