Gaia – Tuvan

Gaia, or on it’s more known name, Armin Van Buuren, has released a track last year which was voted the best hit of 2009 on the show hosted by Armin Van Buuren himself: A State of Trance.

The name Gaia as a cover name was chosen for a simple reason:
“I know if I’d released it as Armin Van Buuren it would have sold better but I wanted to show that trance mattered and that I’m very much about instrumental electronic music,” he says. (DJ Mag).

Judging by the sound, I’d say the title “Tuvan” refers to the Tuvan Language. The main melody of the track does have some oriental/mongolic sound, so I’d say it has something to do with that, although I could not find any official statement about this.
