| dc.description.abstract | Broadcast Transcript: Mongolian nomads have lived very close to nature for centuries. Their shamanistic religion reveres the natural world. Not surprising, then, that traditional throat singing, or khoomei , reflects this by mimicking natural sounds of the steppes. Throat singers, like the Chinese Mongolian members of Anda Union appearing at the Lied Center on November 5th, have impressive control over all parts of the human linguistic apparatus. Individual singers can produce as many as four notes at once: from thrumming low notes to melodic mid-range notes to whistles. Some of them can even play the flute and sing at the same time. The sounds are at once earthly and unearthly. And without any electronic boost. Hear that, Justin Bieber? #ceas #hacker #mongolia | |
