Khoomei
Khoomei is a traditional form of throat singing originating from the Mongolian and Tuvan cultures. This unique vocal technique allows singers to produce multiple pitches simultaneously, creating a rich, harmonic sound. Khoomei is often performed in natural settings, reflecting the deep connection between the singers and their environment.
The practice of Khoomei involves manipulating the vocal cords and mouth shape to create overtones. It is commonly associated with the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongolian and Tuvan people, who use this art form to express their cultural identity and connection to nature.
