Mongolian Throat Singing | Video

Music is integral to the Mongolian culture and perhaps the best known form is throat singing.

In this, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and—simultaneously—one or more pitches over that. The history of Mongolian throat singing reaches far back.

If you happen to be in Ulan Bator, head to the Choijin Lama Temple where you will find a performer doing his bit. I bought a music CD for USD 20.
