When I am having trouble sleeping I sometimes go on the computer and browse blogs. I always find it interesting to see what people have to share. Often one link leads to another taking me on a cultural adventure.
Tonight I followed a blogger's link to The Smithsonian's version of iTunes, Smithsonian Global Sound. Browsing that site led to an Inuit throat-singing demonstration by two young women. Sorry I cannot link you directly to their demonstration but if you scroll down the site to the American Indian section you will find them.
I liked the way they enjoyed demonstrating a part of their culture and their costumes. That prompted me to Google "Inuit throat singing" which revealed a Mongolian connection. And, this blog contains a variety of interesting vocal excerpts of throat singing.
