Really, it's even more amazing when you realize we all do it. When you sing a single note, if you listen incredibly carfefully, you can hear high-pitch octaves of it in the back of the sound. Kind of like how on string instruments if you hold your finger somewhere specific you hear a much higher note.

Then you realize these guys essentially forced that higher tone to become WAY louder than it ever is. It's incredible how strong the muscles of the throats of these men must be.

It's stuff like this that makes me curious about older music rather than the newer music. I love all types of styles of music, mostly all of them to some degree, but it always seem like older stuff, like cultural things like this, the literal "classical" genre, they seem so much more intense than some of the stuff that's going on nowadays.

And it's not really the music's fault, it's mainstream. It's why I despise "mainstream" more than anything, it left everything else by the wayside.

@Dagerskin the mongol song one 09:36 what is the real name i cant find it

[TheHuildarsetsen]

@nadiacalat i think maybe that lady is never experienced mongolian music before. and she might have thought that mongolian music is like ordinary asian music. but she was smiling and entertaining in final minutes. that must've been new discovery for her. sorry for my poor english.

@Bovga1 me too.''Altargana'' by them is so unique.

[Bovga1]

I wish they've performed Altargana instead of Toroi bandi.

Outstanding, always be proud of who you are. It was a pleasure for England to be able to host your extremely talented singers.
