Throat singing was one of TravelTracks’ first world music experiences, and it is an astonishing art form. Perfected by Mongolian herders, throat singing is typically done outdoors, in open areas where the sound can travel for long distances. By manipulating the throat, tongue, and lips, the performer is able to produce multiple tones at the same time, creating an other-worldly sound that is difficult to describe. Different tones represent different elements of the landscape, such as mountains, rivers, and plains. Roll the videos below to hear this strange and beautiful music for yourself.
