Its Huun Huur Tu is a rock band maskerading as a Tuvan throat singng ensemble, or the other way around…?
In traditional Tuvan culture, making music is more than just a frolic; it’s a way to connect with nature. Tuvans simulate the sounds of the wide open plains with throat singing (“overtone singing”), a form of vocalizing in which a singer can make multiple tones at once, high and low. In this video we meet one of our favorite throat singing ensembles from Tuva, Huun Huur Tu.
