Tuvan Throat Singing | Alash | TEDxBaltimore

Imagine a human bagpipe-a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie, whistle-like melody. For good measure, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp, but produced vocally-by the same person, at the same time. Recorded at TEDxBaltimore January 2016.
Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing, a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Masters of traditional Tuvan instruments as well as the art of throat singing, Alash are deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    For month I've tried to do what they did and I found that you need to put pressure on the back and lower part of your throat. It's gonna sounds like groaning at first but with practice you can make the whistling sound with your throat. It work for me. And make sure you drink some warm water before practicing, that will make it easier. Also you need to shape your mouth like you want to whistle.

    I was teaching in Russia in 1999-2000 and at that time a work permit was gold and we could travel anywhere freely. In Tuva, we went to tourist information which had been replaced with a Mary Kay Cosmetics office and they located a University teacher who could speak English. She brought us to her home for lunch and we expressed an interest in hearing throat singing and soap stone carvings. About an hour later, a man arrives and shows us some beautiful carvings and there, on the sofa, gives us a one man throat singing concert. It was astounding as you can imagine.

    You can instantly tell by the way he watches them before coming in, that he is tuning himself into their sound in order to add his own in a musically mature way, as you said, rather than try take the spotlight as one could easily expect. This is an aspect of playing music freely with others (jamming) I have struggled with ever since 8 years of learning classical Guitar. Things are getting better but it's hard to break old habbits: getting used to jamming/improvising on your own vs playing all the intricate and beautiful pieces ingrained in my memory or breaking out of the comfort of having a sheet of music in front of me.

    Well, I would imagine that they allowed him to be there. I would say they are friends. His name is Shodekeh, and he is a professional beatboxer. And yes, I think while it is interesting, it is not really what they should go for. After all, if it mixes with other styles, it is not pure Tuvan anymore. I also truly think that it did not enhance what the trio was accomplishing. It was more distracting than enhancing. But... on a musical level, I can relate to the attractiveness of cross-fertilization, and I would say that beat boxing is akin to what the Tuvans do... so there... lol. The fourth guy was trying to blend in as much as possible.
