Stepanida Borisova (Степанида Борисова) is a shamanic singer born in 1950 in the District of Megino-Khangalaas in the Sakha Republic, Russian Federation. After her studies at the famous Shepjin School of Acting, she started in 1974 an acting carrier at the Ojunski-Sakha-Theatre. She received, as well, the Ojunsky prize from the USSR and is a celebrated actress since this time. As a singer and performer Stepanida mastered many different styles of the traditional Sakha singing. In the entire Russian Federation and abroad, Stepanida Borissova won her special place in the world of music mainly as a singer of "tojuks" (improvised, epic songs). Stepanida sings "ugadan kurduk" as a shaman. In Kamlania female shamans are considered more powerful than male shamans. Though it is difficult to prove, it is said that her voice has healed people.
