An Austrian traveler Hannes, who visited Oymyakon, the Pole of Cold, this past January, was so impressed with the Yakut folk music that he asked me to provide him links to online resources, where he could download mp3 files with Yakut songs and music or purchase CDs or mp3 files somewhere on the web.
By the way, Hannes created a very nice slideshow with his photographs taken in the course of his expedition to Oymyakon. Check his video and find hyperlinks I know.
