Throat and overtone singing
 

There are many throat singing and overtone singing traditions around the world and also lots of modern singing with those elements. Any fans here?

Some examples:

Huun-Huur-Tu might be among the more famous tuvan groups:

Sainkho Namtchylak, also from Tuva, mixes traditional music with more modern and experimental stuff. Here seen doing something more traditional though.

Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun might be a more obscure example. His music is unusual, because the tuvan singing is accompanied by the bayan, a russian type of accordeon

A breathtakingly beautiful piece by the immensely talented mongolian singer Enkhjargal Dandarvaanchig, mostly known as Enkh Jargal.

Some western overtone singing by Christian Bollmann. A little too "new age" perhaps, but nonetheless beautiful and technically astounding.

Two clips by Christian Zehnder, a swiss singer who mixes throat singing, yodeling and other styles into something probably best described as imaginary folklore.

I am a fan of most weird creative **** haha. Here's another haunting one, maybe you were in plug when I played it the other night:



Good thread!

Kongar ool-Ondar might be one of the more famous throat singers, having appeared on Letterman.

Bolot Bayrishev from the Altay region. The lyrics are in russian, which is an interesting combination, but most likely unnoticeable if you don't speak the language.

Tyva Kyzy, a great all-female group from Tuva. Traditionally the singing was mostly limited to men, but thankfully that changed since female throat singing sounds great.

Cool! Never heard of her. Will have to look for some recordings.

Another song featuring Christian Zehnder, here as part of his Kraah Trio, showcasing his unique style of singing and music.

A bit of experimental and traditional to whet yr whistle.

Rutman is great. Completely forgot about his singing though.
But I never explored tibetan music. Thanks.
Any tips besides the video you posted?

I think Oidupaa is my favourite. Here's Arrington de Dionyso of Old Time Relijun. His solo stuff is throat singing based and pretty awesome, he also adds in some throat singing to OTR's music.

Spent a short time digging into Tuvan throat singing earlier this year, Oidupaa is also my favourite. Yat-Kha is pretty great too.
This is probably my favourite overtone style track ever recorded. Unstoppable throat bass.

Yep. Oidupaa is great. He sadly died not that long ago. Was hoping he'd do some more albums. There should be some cassettes floating around, but I could never find them. Only have "Divine Music From A Jail" and "Singing With Echoes Through The Universe", with the first one being my favourite.

I'm also a fan of de Dionyso's music. This guy is great at pretty much everything he does.

I remember checking out Yat-Kha way back, when I first discovered this kind of music. I liked the throat singing, but didn't like the rock elements. Not that I'm against a mixture of rock and throat singing, but it seemed a little...I don't know, watered down sounds a little harsh.
But anyway, I really enjoyed this song and I think I'll give them a good, long second listen.

Since I've been enjoying this song all morning, here's some more Christian Zehnder.
Great mix of operatic and throat singing, accompanied with some weird swiss accordeon.

Checked out some more Yat-Kha. Not at all how I remembered.
Some pretty good stuff actually.
Thank god I don't write artists off that easily.

:( Oh man, I didn't know about that.

Been listening to some Yat-Kha today.
Can't believe I dismissed them so easily years ago.
The music might be a little too polished at times, but the singing is great.

This has been making the rounds lately, and I figured I'd keep it rolling. More of a demo than a song though. I see she's already been featured here, but what the heck.

She is great!
A little unsure at times, but very talented.
Hope she will start making records.

I was listening to this today. Fantastic!
