Throat Singing

Throat singing, also known as overtone singing, is a unique vocal technique originating from the nomadic cultures of Central Asia, particularly in Mongolia, Tuva, and Altai. Characterized by the simultaneous production of multiple pitches, throat singing creates an eerie, whistle-like sound. This style is often accompanied by traditional instruments such as the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) and the shanz khoor (a type of cello). Emerging in the 1990s, throat singing gained popularity through ensembles that blended traditional and modern elements. As a cultural phenomenon, throat singing embodies the spiritual connection between humans and nature, evoking the vast steppes and mountains of the region. While related to other vocal styles like Gregorian chanting and Inuit throat singing, the Central Asian variant is distinct in its use of vocal harmonics and percussive effects. Throat singing's otherworldly quality has captivated audiences worldwide, inspiring collaborations with musicians from various genres and cementing its place in the global music landscape.
