[DISPENSER4HIRE]

What at first seems just strange and bizzare may become hauntingly beautiful approached with an open mind, and a willingness to live outside the boundries of your experience. Thank you for posting this.

[Gurlevsky]

F*** S***, I used to make jokes about singing a base tone and a third above simultaneously, but I swear, I never thought it to be possible. He actually produced a base tone, whilst singing a high pitched melody. The guy is a freakin bagpipe!

[XRayCam]

@stupidrider53, Oh...I understand now. Good :)

[XRayCam]

Besides all the "negative" shit....I came here originally because I liked the way this guy sings...and his "shy" and very polite expressions :)

So you t.u.r.d.s can leave me alone.

[MadMadamJess]

Beautiful! I am a classically trained vocalist now learning throat singing to utilize in my experimental, noise band and I must say,...the tones he is generating raise my vibrational frequency a few notches just by hearing it. He is incredible..

[XRayCam]

"Made My Skull Vibrate".......That's What She Said :o )

[XRayCam]

@Kyzylturq, tell me...why is it that "you" mother fuckers are always calling OTHER people DEVILS....yet it is YOU making all the trouble and trying to fight about something (anything) you little SATANS TOOL. We TRY to help other Nations.....what the fuck is it that you do?? Not much I can tell you that. Maybe I should come over there and spank your ass :) Bitch Boy. You walk and sleep with the devil every night. SWINE

[explosivefreak666]

@Kyzylturq Still....We, White "pigs" rule the fucking planet, You Do what WE tell you.!! Our else.. We bomb the shit outta you, camel-humping racist. Only 8% are white, we're a minority, but Look at us.... We don't back down.

[newtonop]

They're at the Zaisan Hill World War II memorial in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, facing north. On a rainy day in June or September. You can see the concrete stairs to the left. That is the Tuul river down there. The mountain to the right is a small part of Mount Bogd Khan Uul, a big mountain. If the camera were to move a bit to the left you would see the big city itself. The brick building is a toilet or small shop.

[XRayCam]

@cscarrots, Hmmmm.....now after I upload my ideas I HEAR what you are talking about too :) So maybe it IS his voice (just has a lot of power in it even at the beginning). I noticed that it had the same range as HIS high notes later on in this same song. But as others have mentioned that he was tired.... :) He was really just embarresed :) Nice Man

[XRayCam]

@Kyzylturq, understand....you are just a POOR Turkey-Fuck "Racist" and I HATE you for that. You walk and sleep with the Devil everyday by the way you feel of other people. When you Die (and people like you)...then the world will be more like heaven. Go away now....

[XRayCam]

@Kyzylturq, Yea I'm white and so is my mother...so what. I am not blood lust and fuck you muslim!! So what if I eat pork....YES I DO and it taste's very fucken GOOD. Yum......cock sucker.....yum :) Oh.....you did get 1 thing right. I Am a Bastard....and I could kick your little brown ass too. So back the fuck up. Before I make YOU eat PIG.

@Kyzylturq, If we murder (and is not our own people-criminals) then it is to HELP other people...right?? What's your excuse ya bitches.... And if you DON'T like us. Then put away (our) computers...and do NOT use our computer Operating Systems...and keep your shit stained hands OFF our internet. If you actually HATE the European race (white) then fucking DON'T associate with us...and DON'T speak OUR language!! That's all you need to do. I'm NOT prejudice....but I do know what to HATE..prejudice

[AnDivroer]

@Kyzylturq Where exactly did you see the face of the tourists? I haven't seen any white face on this video. You moron.

[pardelicatesse]

This is amazing! Thanks guys that you filmed this for those who cannot travel to see places and hear such songs in person. Congratulations! The beauty of world's cultures supersedes the vulgarity of other comments on this page.

[halfgoku]

@pardelicatesse You're very welcome! I felt fortunate that he was willing to share one of his arts (I bought a drawing of a Mongolian horse that he did) on camera.

[kuzadrkufg]

@pardelicatesse

my words;)

[kariabalikcisi]

Turkish music's are very fantastic...

[Vladimirovic]

@kariabalikcisi Turkic.

[kariabalikcisi]

@pardelicatesse what a nice comment... thank you...

[XRayCam]

@pardelicatesse, Yea ...you can act all sweet yourself...all high and all mighty.

But I'm sure you would have got a BENT out of shape too if you were called a DEVIL just because of the color of your skin. I don't even know why I'm talking to you. Gives me a foul taste in my mouth. In fact...Fuck You Too...sweet heart :)

[pardelicatesse]

@XRayCam I don't act sweet, all high and might, I'm just healthy, full of life and I love all cultures and peoples of the world. I've travelled a lot and don't give a damn on the skin color differences. Everybody should have a soul, so it's high time you made an effort and look for yours:-). People like you, full of spite and hatred finally end in hospital for a gall bladder surgical removal. Sante! And live the rest of us alone, to enjoy life and each other:-)

[XRayCam]

@pardelicatesse, well I've traveled a lot also (Navy) ... and I see that YOU also will SNAP back with negative comments when you get "your" toes stepped on (people like you.....spite-hatred---hospita­l surgical removals----LEAVE the rest of us alone)...yada,yada,yada. My point exactly....that is why I posted negative comments because I was "mangled" by someone else's "hate and discontent"....so you seem to know what I am talking about. Are you better than me?? No

[pardelicatesse]

@XRayCam Perhaps you need another site to challenge people dear XRay Cam. Perhaps you'd even need a tournement or something like that, it's a shame in our century men can't prove their manhood in a proper way. All the comments here should be on the throat singing topic in my opinion. And yes, I am better than you in a way, as I am a woman. As for my spelling, it's still good enough considering English is not even my second language.

[XRayCam]

@pardelicatesse, well don't break your arm patting yourself on the back....the only thing I get out of your ability to speak MY language...is that I now must listen to your SHIT. If you can't handle my "manhood" then stay the fuck out of the way....Mkay?? Or better yet....quit trying to provoke me :)

As for you being a women--and better than me.....Hahaha, shut the fuck up and get back in the kitchen.

Now spell your way out of that one......cunt

[pardelicatesse]

@XRayCam QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM.

[XRayCam]

@pardelicatesse, NON NECESSARIUS. EST EXPERTUS

[XRayCam]

@XRayCam, NOT NEEDED. IS PROVEN

[UndrGrndPl]

@pardelicatesse DO TRAVEL NOW or you'll never do it

[Kissing12Roses]

I was playing wth the sound the whole time *guy makes noise* *Volume lowers* lol

Interesting and pretty amazing he can make the noise, but it hurts to hear =S

[iLoveDaSweetLeaf]

this dudes name is Pan, but not like a frying pan but to Pan from left to right

[Rodgerinho]

It's taken me since before Christmas but I can do this now too, just the first tone, which I think is called Kargyraa, and the one that followed it, the less throaty whistle type. But that last one is impossible, I cant get anywhere near the whistle pitch he and Kongar Dorzhu Ondar get.

If you want to learn how to do this, do a search here on Youtube for overtone singing, yuichituba's video is really good. And a tip? Dont practice at home, people will laugh at first. I practice in my car

[lopy78]

Hes was embarrassed 

[arsehandle]

throat singing is awesome! He's clearly having a laugh too.

[arslanbeklord]

greet throat man

[GundamFan360]

stupid westerners they have nothing unique thats why they have pride in themselves they suck

[XRayCam]

@GundamFan360 you make very little sense.

[TraceyLouise2260]

how do he does that ?? it must be a racial facial and throat structure thing

[UpcomingJedi]

@TraceyLouise2260 Nope. Even a red headed frenchman can do this. (look for his video here) All you gotta do is curl your tongue. You will figure out other sounds as you go.

[mburch1974]

the highest range made my skull vibrate

[Kainath1]

u do it i ,ll pay u .... u assholes ... are u guyz jealous ....damn yea

[breaneainn]

made my skull vibrate

[Wongraven559]

[zik667]

give him dollars damnit

[UpcomingJedi]

@zik667 He doesn't need dollars otherwise he would have:

1. a cardboard sign

2. a spot on the left turning lane

3. long, dirty hair

4. unwashed clothing

5. Reek of piss

6. give you a million excuses why no one gives him a job. (like 'they' go around looking for ceo candidates on street corners....yeah.)

[arsehandle]

@UpcomingJedi

nice dig at the weakest members of society on a totally unrelated topic!! You're my new favorite youtuber.

[UpcomingJedi]

@arsehandle Get a handle on yourself, fool. Obviously you dont have a very long attention span or you would have read the other comment related to mine so that you can understand what is happening here. Thats what happens when you butt into another conversation that you have no business being in, in the first place. Idiot. I hope your stupidity is not contagious over the internet. Weakest members, my ass! Bums are just plain LAZY! Talk to some and you will agree.

[Macsization]

if there was mongolian throat singer he would sing for them for whole day

[Macsization]

he's not mongol he's kazakh

[VipTuvshuu]

@Macsization Kazakh is Mongolian

[TurkicPrincess1]

@VipTuvshuu

No, it's not. Kazakhs are Turkic.

[FilipBirve]

@TurkicPrincess1

you're both right. the kazakhz are descendants from both turkic and mongolian tribes (the huns)

[doogiinoohuu]

@astr0tugi hasag malgai oemsson baena.

[lexxypexxy]

Sounds a lot like Inuit throat chanting

he's not Mongol, kinda kazak,

[CabriniDream]

and you ppl think beat boxing is sick, wait til this gets mainstream.

[girotube]

WOW

[batzaya99]

hi, i am mongolian. throut singing is from the ancient Mongolians.

[xlovenuggetx]

0:09 you can hear someone joining in

[cscarrots]

@xlovenuggetx

no one is joining in he is just producing an overtone

[xlovenuggetx]

@cscarrots no

[XRayCam]

@cscarrots, no... xlovenuggetx is right, listen from around 07:00 and a little more....you will hear a real low volume high pitched sound just before this man starts his throat sounds......to high pitched from where he is at in his chant...so he didn't have his power built up yet. I noticed this to awhile back but didn't say anything.

[starstarstar42]

Won't lie, the title name fooled me into thinking it was a preview clip from Saw VI

[boroo0808]

Awesome

[tyme4mike]

@astr0tugi What I do know about your culture is being insulted by your arrogance and language. If people aren't "ignorant" of things, then why would they bother seeking information on it? Why not use your knowledge to teach rather than to downgrade others? You can attract more flies with honey than with the stinging vinegar of your words, wouldn't you agree? We're all a little ignorant of other's cultures.

[johnknoefler]

@tyme4mike Exactly. I bet this talented throat singer wouldn't have a clue how to make a website. Or weld ships like I do. But then I know next to nothing of his talent. I love throat singing.

[4SCARECROWS]

Thats awesome!

[jizong]

that was hella dope. you can hear music playing and shit.

[shenkeey]

the first one sounds like that one with the voicemachine from southpark

[gadnihasj]

@astr0tugi nah, it was the boys in alash. i was only having a drink with altan urag. you need not call me bitch though, i was only speaking of my own experience, i never saw mongolian wrestling in real life, so i can't tell how many of you are able to sing well while trying to win a wrestling match

[gadnihasj]

@astr0tugi so you're mongolian? i never saw any mongols wrestle irl, sorry. i only celebrated a mongolian national holiday with the guys in altan urag once, and played table tennis and basket ball with some of the guys in alash (i know they're tuvan), and those guys really did sing when we played. quite distracting, since i always stopped to listen. so please quit bitching at nothing

[Burngun49]

God damn Mongolians, you break down mai shitty wall!!

[gadnihasj]

tired? lol, those guys can sing while playing table tennis. which can be quite distracting, i know from experience..

[cCcTURKISH]

The Turkic peoples (or simply Turks) are Eurasian peoples residing in northern, central and western Asia, Mongolia, southern Siberia and northwestern China and parts of eastern Europe. They speak languages belonging to the Turkic language family.[3] They share, to varying degrees, certain cultural traits and historical backgrounds. The term Turkic represents a broad ethno-linguistic group of people including existing societies such as the

Azerbaijani, Kazakhs, Tatar, Kyrgyz, Turkish, Turkmen, Uyghur, Uzbeks, and as well as past civilizations such as the Huns, Bulgars, Kumans, Avars, Seljuks, Khazars, Ottomans, Mamluks, Timurids, and possibly the Xiongnu.

[MachuPicchuTours]

KOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Land of the great Khan!

[jeremyIfisher]

Throat singing is not limited to Mongol culture. It in cultures found in and around the Steppes. Also the singer is Uyghur or Khazak Mongol (that hat is virtually worm exclusively by the Uyghurs and Kazakhs in Mongolia who are traditionally Muslims) which may also explain why his tune has similarties to Middle Eastern songs. However that is definatly in Mongolia (just outside Ulanbatar infact).
