(Умка) Евгений Кайпанау

Evgeny Kaypanau is a professional performer and keeper of the Chukchi people's culture with 20 years of experience. I possess unique skills, including throat singing, playing traditional instruments (bargan, tambourine, yarar), Chukchi bone and wood carving, the art of onomatopoeia, and northern choreography. I conduct authentic master classes in all these areas, including teaching the ancient technique of carving walrus and deer bones. I guarantee a deep immersion in the culture of Chukotka through my personal experience of living in the tundra and my expertise in traditional crafts. My classes are a living connection to the heritage of my ancestors, adapted for a modern audience.
