Listen to how Tanya explains her environment to fellow musicians. How many of us can relate so intimately to the sounds in our environment ? The musical artists of The Kronos Quartet did a magnificent job using their strings to imitate the sounds and feelings of Tanya's instrument- her throat and her world .
Winter is about five months (with snow) in these parts so is a major force of life . The rest of the time is filled with things ...many of which are in preparation for winter .

Very interesting to learn about a kind of music that isn't heard by many other places in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe Mongolian throat singing is similar but lower in sounds. However the similarity of the music certainly is a living link which supports the land bridge theory for Inuit/Eskimo peoples for sure.
