Huun Huur Tu - "Where Young Grass Grows"

Throat-Singers of Tuva

Tuvan music, xöömei (throat-singing)

mysterious land of Tannu Tuva, get acquainted with its musical tradition 
of throat singing. 

focusing on the musical technique of "xöömei" or throat-singing,
in which a single vocalist simultaneously produces two distinct pitches:
a fundamental note and, high above it, a series of articulated harmonics 
that are sequenced into melodies and manipulated with extreme virtuosity 
in several canonical styles. These field recordings became a CD released 
in 1990 by Smithsonian Folkways called Tuva: Voices
