Inuit women of northern Canada developed a unique, guttural vocal style that involves short, sharp, rhythmic inhalations and exhalations of breath. Inuit sisters Karin and Kathy Kettler, of northern Quebec, Canada, explain the history of the vocal style and illustrate the technique.

@CyborgNinja7 I Know right.. But i sing it to my sister at night when she pisses me off ಠ_ಠ

Oh this is great. I watched a tutchone native woman ( Champagne-Aishikih First Nations ) once, singing similar to her baby and I think it's wonderful, nothing 'scary'
Looks like fun rather, if people make for a competition.

VERY STRANGE TO ME, A PERSON KNOWING WHAT THROAT SINGING IS CONSIDERED. IT SOUNDS LIKE TWO SEALS ARE BUMPING ON EACH OTHER.

Fascinating and lovely. I wish more people would be open/used to hearing music in its rawest form
