Mongolian Throat Singing
I don't know how to describe this well, so I went to Wikipedia.
It's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.
This unique type of singing involves the production of two distinctively audible pitches at the same time, including a low pedal note, or drone, derived from the fundamental frequency of the vocal cord vibrations, and higher melodic notes that result when the singer's mouth acts as a filter, selecting one note at a time from among the drone's natural overtone series pitches.
Trust me, it's awesome. Search it on YouTube. You'll be amazed.
He is accompanied by a traditional Mongolian instrument called the horse-head fiddle, or morin khuur.
She is strong! She held each of these poses for a long time.
Amazing, but slightly hard to watch
What a fascinating experience! Thanks for sharing!
