I'm glad you dig it. The male singers (Huun-Huur-Tu) are from Tuva, an autonomous region in China. They speak both Russian and Tuvan, so it's probably one of those two languages you're referring to.
If you liked this track you should check out the rest of the album (Fly, Fly My Sadness) as well as their album A Mountain Tale, which has this gem on it.
yes, definitely not Russian
thanks, naturally I've listened to loads of folklore music, it gets played quite a lot and it's worth it
