Traditional Young Inuit Throat Singing

I was exhibiting my work at the Northern Lights 2008 Trade Show & Conference in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and many events took place. This is footage of a few young Inuit ladies throat singing. These ladies were quite remarkable, and they absolutely deserved to perform at a large event like this.

I've been watching several videos of Inuit throat singing and I'm wondering if there is a significance in holding each others arms? Or is it just the way it is done?

It's always been like that, but it is a way of keeping each other in synchronization and keep each other in focus.

Thanks! I agree with the sound, I only had my small dig. camera with me, so that's the best it could do.

The first one to laugh loses. There was documetary on this on CTV today. They didn't mention that these people own the land. Us white folk are just renting here.
