Khoomei or throat singing

The “khoomei” or throat singing is an ancestral overtone singing that consists in reproducing natural sounds like the flow of water, the breath of wind, the echo of the mountains, the rumble of thunder, the singing of birds, etc. An overtone singing is characterised by a vocal technique that allows to make simultaneously several sounds with a single vocal organ, combining different voices and different ways to place the tongue or the lips.

The singer uses his/her throat to give out a continuous deep sound, and, at the same time, using his/her tongue to control the breathed out air, he/she manages to modulate the resonance in more high-pitched harmonics. This singing can be related to the mouth harp, this small instrument that also produces several different sounds: drone, singing, and counterpoint.

A khoomei singer must know the different organs very well to use them with precision: pharynx, vocal cords, oral cavity, tongue, lips, and nasal cavity. Good khoomei singers can modify their own frequency by adapting the volume of the oral cavity, the opening of the mouth, and the position of the lips.

Overtone singings have been sung for a long time in many cultures across the world, especially in Asia, by Mongolians, Tuvas, Bachkirs, Altai people, and Tibetan people, but also in Italy by Sardinian people, in India by Rajasthan people, or in South Africa by Xhosa people.

Some have noticed that a third sound could be produced with Tuvan techniques, but it’s still impossible to know if this third sound can be controlled. This third sound seems more to look like the mouth harp’s counterpoint.

So, khoomei is nothing but an overtone singing. But it’s divided into six categories: khamrin khoomii (nasal khoomei), bagalzuuriin khoomii (glottal khoomei), tseejnii khondiin khoomii (chest cavity khoomei), uruulin khoomii (labial khoomei), khosmoljin or turlegt khoomii (khoomei combined with long song), tagnain khoomi (palatal khoomei). The difference lies in the technique used.

Khoomei is said to come from the area of Khovd, in the Altai range, western Mongolia. The four most famous khoomei singers of Mongolia are Suindui Jajaa, Tserendorj, Ganbold, and Odsuren, and they all come from Khovd. Besides Ganbold worked as sound operator on the original soundtrack of the famous movie “Queen Mandukhai the wise”. But khoomei also extended to other areas sometimes really far from Khovd.

Khoomei, and more generally all types of overtone singing, is also supposed to have therapeutic virtues. Experiments led by doctors and musicians have often shown that there was a connection between mental or physical health and music. When it’s used for therapeutic purposes, khoomei’s main goal is to bring back concentration and sanity. Some shamanic experiences and Tibetan singings are very close to this goal too.

For example, this type of singing is said to have real effects on stammer, blocks in the throat, confidence in one’s voice, inhibition, respiratory problems, anxiety, tiredness, childbirth pain, etc. but no study confirms the efficacy of the practice.

And moreover, these effects are said to affects, not only humans, but also animals!

How to Throat Sing With 3 Easy Steps (Kargyraa Style)

109,610 views•Sep 9, 20207.1K34ShareSaveHachapuri 2.14K subscribers Hello! Recently on Reddit, I posted a poll about which video I should make: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hordecore/​ Taking the votes into account, also interests of my friends who wanted to learn Mongolian throat singing, I present you “how to throat sing in 3 easy steps!” =) It might take some dedication to get it better, it could be a bit challenging for girls but personally, I’ve seen a live show of a Tuvan woman, musician, and artist Sainkho, who can do a few forms of this culture. Another person was a female student I met a few years ago. She used to learn how to play morin khuur with a few boys when she was young, the boys were learning khoomei. They teased her that she can’t sing it because she is a girl, so she got irritated and practiced morin khuur with khoomei at home. After some time, it seems she was able to sing as well as any other person. There is another woman who can sing it as well, she plays in Tuvan folk-rock band Yat-Kha 🙂 In any case, let me know in the comments below if you have questions or ideas. Oh, one detail I forgot to mention in the video is that this type of singing is specifically called “kargyraa”. The other one is called “isgeree”(or sygyt in Tuvan) is quite difficult to learn, I still haven’t mastered it fully. The intro music was done originally by ElectroKaplosion – coffin dance music with Mongolian theme, a super cool dude, check out his channel 😀 – https://www.youtube.com/user/ElectroK…​ If you liked the content and if you wish to support this channel for further video, please do give this man a helping hand 😀 Paypal: hachaburi999@gmail.com Bitcoin: 1ADx4AKFdSfawk8ZS9qKz4h3iTZjTFU4LX Ethereum: 0x33e22F604641F2D2e9d6A1F887fc9A3aC13fa065 Some of you might have noticed the beginning, it was a parody of NigaHiga’s videos of “How to be …” series whuaha.

Auļi ir devušies pasaulē, lai satiktos un iepazītos ar dziedātājiem, kuri pārstāv senas un neparastas dziedāšanas tradīcijas un tehnikas. Šoreiz uzmanība pievērsta jaudīgām vīriešu balsīm, kas raksturo kādu reģionu. Skaņdarbos pazīstamu izpildītāju dziedājums no ģeogrāfiski atšķirīgām vietām ir sapludināts ar Auļu latviešu muzikālajās tradīcijās balstīto spēcīgo instrumentālo mūziku, radot iespaidīgu pasaules mūzikas programmu.

Lai saglabātu intrigu, pārējie 3 mākslinieki tiks atklāti pakāpeniski. “Esam iepazinuši vairākus senu dziedāšanas tradīciju pārstāvjus, noskaidrojuši kā šīs balsis sasaucās ar bungām un dūdām, kā arī kā tās skan kopā ar latviešu tautas dziesmām. Aicinām jūs auļot kopā ar mums šajā aizraujošajā un krāsainajā ceļojumā!” Auļi “Voices of the Ancestors” is a new concert programme by the drum and bagpipe group Auļi in collaboration with musicians from various countries around the world. Auļi have travelled far and wide to meet singers representing ancient and unusual singing traditions and techniques. This time the group has focused on powerful men’s voices that characterise a specific region. Performances by well-known singers from various geographical regions merge with the Auļi’s powerful instrumental music based in Latvian traditional music, creating an impressive programme of world music. Auļi’s first guest in concert is Mongolian throat singer Batzorig Vaanchig. In order to preserve the intrigue, the names of the other three musicians will be announced in due time. “We’ve become acquainted with several representatives of ancient singing traditions and discovered how these voices meld with drums and bagpipes as well as with Latvian folk songs. We invite you to come along with us on this exciting and memorable journey!” Auļi For more music from Batzorig Vaanchig please visit his official youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7iO…​
