The jaw harp, also known as the Jew's harp or mouth harp, is a distinctive and ancient musical genre characterized by its rhythmic, hypnotic sounds produced by a small, lyre-shaped instrument held against the performer's teeth or lips. The genre spans multiple cultures and is often associated with the traditional folk music of regions such as Norway, Hungary, and Mongolia. Artists like Erik Røine, Hallgrim Berg, and UUTAi bring out the unique timbral qualities of the instrument by skillfully manipulating their breath and mouth shape to create a variety of tones and overtones. The resulting music can range from meditative and trance-inducing to vibrant and dance-inducing, reflecting both the instrument's versatility and the rich musical traditions it inhabits.
