Inuit throat singing

Inuit throat singing, also known as "katajjaq," is a traditional vocal art form practiced by indigenous women in the Arctic. It involves two performers singing closely together, producing rhythmic, pulsating sounds that mimic natural sounds like wind or animals. The technique uses controlled breath, vocal modulation, and vocal fry to create layered, haunting melodies. Originally performed as entertainment or to pass time during cold seasons, throat singing also holds cultural significance, symbolizing connection with nature, community, and spiritual beliefs. It is a unique form of vocal expression that combines skill, rhythm, and cultural identity.
