Tuvan Throat Singing Masters: Alash Ensemble

  • Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
  • In Tuvan throat singing, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and-simultaneously-one or more pitches over that. Often, singers travel far into the countryside looking for the right river, or go up to the steppes of the mountainside to create the proper environment for throat-singing.
    Alash Ensemble (www.alashensemb...), seen here, is one of the most celebrated Tuvan Throat Singing groups. Alash and its individual members have consistently won top honors in world throat singing competitions.
    Throat singing developed among the nomadic herdsmen of Central Asia, people who lived in yurts, rode horses, raised yaks, sheep and camels, and had a close spiritual relationship with nature. Singers use their voices to mimic and interact with the sounds of the natural world - whistling birds, bubbling streams, blowing wind, or the deep growl of a camel.
    The people of Tuva have a wide range of throat singing vocalizations. The three predominant styles are called khoomei, kargyraa and sygyt. Khoomei is traditionally a softer sounding style, with the fundamental (or drone) usually in the low-mid to midrange of the singer’s normal voice. Sygyt, literally 'whistling', has a midrange fundamental and is characterized by strong, flute-like or rather piercing harmonics, reminiscent of whistling. Kargyraa has a deep, almost growling sound to it and is technically related to Tibetan Buddhist chant.

    That might have been one of the best polyphonic overtone performance I've ever heard!

    • @MinadoCoelho
      @MinadoCoelho 4 года назад +11

      I am a teacher of tuvan throat singing. The polyphonic main part you heard is a style sygyt. The main difference between western overtone singing and sygyt is that sygyt uses the constriction of your vocal folds (as all of tuvan throat singing styles does too) making your voice naturally richer in overtones, resulting in a louder overtone and lower volume on the fundamental tone.

    Great video from Alash, but I'm still wondering if kargyraa is related or not to buddhist chants, like Gyuto Monks. Maybe they use strohbass instead of false-folds voice(kargyraa/sardinian bass?)
