Absolutely LOVE this song. Stop whatever you’re doing and turn it up kind of song. Throat singing is such an incredible skill. Sting was wise to have some throat singers on some of his songs. I know it’s not for everyone. Listen carefully and you can hear different harmonics all at once from just the one singer. And no it’s most definitely not Autotuned.

There's a documentary about Richard Feyman's curiosity and joy... told in his quest to go to Mongolia in the 80s (iron curtain still up) so he could experience Tuvan throat singing in person. Delightful. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuqm4FGzo20

Genghis Blues is another good doc about love of Tuva.

Hadn't heard this before, but it makes a nice change from 'violins of the world/crazy horse'.
Posted 7 years ago by TerryS    [ Reply ]

I'm in the "I like this track on its own merits" and not the "I like this track because it shows BillG's eclecticism."

What I find interesting, is that in hearing it now about 7 times, I'm still caught off-guard when I hear the intro - so far I am not able to identifiy it until after I see the song name/track name on the player.

Anyways, as always, Long Live RP!
