Throat singing is a vocal technique that produces multiple tones simultaneously by manipulating the vocal cords, mouth shape, and resonant cavities. Originating from cultures like Mongolia and Tuva, it allows singers to generate a deep bass drone while singing higher, melodic overtones. Initiating with controlled breath and precise tongue and lip positioning, performers exploit specific resonances to "fill" their vocal spectrum. This intricate craft creates a haunting, multidimensional sound that reflects a deep connection to nature and tradition, showcasing remarkable vocal control and the ability to produce complex harmonic textures within a single voice.
