Galsan Tschinag is a Tuvan-Mongolian author who writes mainly in German. I didn't know this, but he also sings, so I thought it would be interesting to share a clip of him singing a shamanic song:

Here is a couple of his beautiful poems:
Obliquely
A beam of sunlight lies
Upon the glacier
The storm bends it
Pelting me
With needles of ice
As I watch
With an eye full of cloud scrap
Drifting toward the beam of light
I pull myself together
Into all my pores
Winter invades
To My Mountain
Every stone has
Its place
On your body
What will I do
If someday I find
No more space
In the hollows
Of your stony slopes?
Likely I shall
Dissolve in the wind
To howl around you
With the hungry wolves
And the dismissed grasses
Of summertime
Thanks, Rowan, Lisa and Franzisca
