The force is strong in this one.

[EezeeListen]

Brilliant! I once heard a live performance of some Inuit ladies (Eskimo) singing in their throat style, a little different to this, but also quite similar. They used it originally to communicate across miles of ice and snow, the sound waves they made travelled vast distances.

Love the whistle effect in the background that the singer makes, so haunting!

[AttillaBoy]

Turk shaman music. Tengri culture

[Christian López]

Guess the aplication neeeds to be improved.

[TheToXic111]

I think that's interesting, but it's not very musical.

[Christian López]

the trick here is to pay attention at his vocal style, he's emitting 2 diff sounds at the same time.

[TheToXic111]

I'm really open minded but this is just nonsense.

[TheNomint]

it is not that Mongolia got " turkified". We were related throughout history. There were turkig tribes in nowadays mongolian land 1000 years ago, so we are all inter-linked. But we aren't that directly related. Right? You wouldn't say mongolia n more related to chinese than turk? look at mongolian language- a bit similar sounding to turkish.
