What is "throat singing?"
by Maxine
If you want to find out, go to the Ark this Saturday, November 17 to hear Huun-Huur-Tu, a male vocal ensemble from Tuva in East Asia. They are known for the other-worldly sounds they make by voicing two or three different notes simultaneously. They perform traditional nomadic songs sometimes accompanying themselves on an igil, a horse head fiddle, and other stringed instruments. Huun-Huur-Tu has made some recordings on the Shenachie label. One earlier recording is titled Voices which is in the Library's collection. Don't miss a great opportunity to hear these entrancing sounds.
