There is a band on the RP playlist called "The Jerry Cans".  They do Inuit (Eskimo) throat singing.  Good band! Worth listening to!

Is it the same throat singer as on Béla Fleck and the Flecktones "live at the quick" album? Just the the most extraordinary sound...


No, according to Wikipedia. There must me more than one throat singer out there.

They released this song with Tuvan throat singing years before I even knew what that was.
Very nice. Looking into the sources of music.
Always loved the work from this group, although I haven't heard this one. Kronos Quartet is always inventive and inventive. Very American to mix these diverse cultural currents into the pot. So often the sum is greater than the parts.

Have to go check out the full album.
I can give it a 5, for the audacity and the newness. But man, this is a tough listen.
The Quartet's Early Music album is a work to behold; music includes two works in Ancient Greek Pentatonic and Archytas Enharmonic to Arvo Part's Psalom.
Thanks RP for introducing listeners to this, more intellectual, side of music.
