*furiously plays banjo in the middle of a battlefield amidst mortar bombardment*
“Aww shit, gonna need some backup. Any word on those throat singers? We need them here now!”
*Huun Huur Tu shows up in a van along with various other Tuvan, Mongolian and Buryat musicians and throat singers dressed in traditional Mongolian clothing.*
“Finally! Maybe this’ll give us a chance.”

Yat-Kha - Dalai Beldiri
Russia, 1999, Tuvan throat singing Former Huun-Huur-Tu member uses the folkloric Tuvan throat singing as a stepping-off point to explore how his cultural music can blend with and enhance the more mainstream genres of folk and rock, and on this album, he does a brilliant job of maintaining what he is without sacrificing his artistic integrity. Indeed, he understands music’s mightiest strength:…

Arthur Miles "Lonely Cowboy" Parts 1 & 2 (Dallas, Texas, 1929) cowboy throat singing = Tuvan khoomei
‘You want authentic? You want history?  You want creepy? (But in a good way.)  Take a listen to this, Jack.  Joe Nick Patoski shared this & he comes up again with only the best shit...’
We hear a strange type of singing called "cowboy throat signing."  This is in addition to the yodeling. You'll know what I mean by "strange" when you hear it in the song.  How did Arthur Miles learn throat-singing?  Ancient cultures had this technique, and it is known in parts of the world, but how did someone in Texas know to do it in 1929? Tuvan throat singing, known as khoomei, is one particular variant of overtone singing practiced by people in Tuva, Mongolia, and Siberia. Arthur Miles performs "Lonely Cowboy" (Parts 1 & 2) on Victor V-40156, recorded in Dallas, Texas, on August 8, 1929. 
“A group of jolly cowboys on the Franklin ranch one night, their heads up on a saddle and a campfires burning bright. Some were telling stories and some were singing song, and some were smoking cigarettes while the others rolled along. 
At once they began to talking of distant friends so dear,. A boy raised his head from his saddle and brushed away a tear... This boy was tall and handsome, and his face showed a life of good cheer. His eyes were all but heavenly blue and he had light wavy hair. We asked him why he left his home, it being so dear to him. He raised his head from his saddle--with tears his eyes grew dim. 
As he raised his head from the saddle and he gazed a rough cried oar, said "boys, Ill tell you the reason why I stay at home no more." I fell in love with the neighbor's girl Her cheeks was very white Another fellow loved this girl And it ended in a fight This fellow's name was Tommy Smith And we had been great chums We shared each others troubles We shared each other's bond 
It almost makes me shudder To think of that sad night When Tom and I was quarrelling I stabbed him with my knife I fell on my knees beside him And tried to stop the blood That flowed down so gently It was like crimson flood 
I can almost hear Tommy's voice As the boys all gathered around Saying "Bob ol' boy you'll remember when I am under the ground" Now boys you know the reason why That I am compelled to roam And why I am so far away from dear old home sweet home” 
Sound file was done by Frank Dalton.

esoteric pet hate time but a lot of what gets described as ‘throat singing’ is basically unrelated and just used to talk about anything that sounds ‘guttural’ which is obviously kind of problematic as a classification of indigenous singing styles. when most people talk about ‘throat singing’ theyre talking about tuvan throat singing (khoomei), the distinctive feature of which is the harmonic overtones which are manipulated with the shape of the lips and tongue, not the throat. it has more technically in common with other kinds of polyphonic singing, like a tradition from sardinia that involves similar manipulation of overtones, than the other things that get called ‘throat singing’; like the inuit tradition which doesn’t involve manipulation of harmonic overtones at all. you also just... cant sing without using your throat, so what specific feature would ‘throat singing’ even denote exactly. i find it kind of offensive bc its ultimately a sloppy trivialising brush to swing around basically any vocal tradition that sounds strange to western ears and it comes with associations of the primitive, primal and exotic (the way reddit bros act about ‘mongolian throat singing’ 🙄). ive never seen anyone referring to the sardinian style of polyphonic overtone singing, which agrees with western tuning, as ‘throat singing’ despite the fact it sounds far more like the tuvan tradition than anything else does. why 🧐
