Tuvan Throat Singing Masters: Alash Ensemble
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2018
- In Tuvan throat singing, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and-simultaneously-one or more pitches over that. Often, singers travel far into the countryside looking for the right river, or go up to the steppes of the mountainside to create the proper environment for throat-singing.
Alash Ensemble (www.alashensemble.com), seen here, is one of the most celebrated Tuvan Throat Singing groups. Alash and its individual members have consistently won top honors in world throat singing competitions.
Throat singing developed among the nomadic herdsmen of Central Asia, people who lived in yurts, rode horses, raised yaks, sheep and camels, and had a close spiritual relationship with nature. Singers use their voices to mimic and interact with the sounds of the natural world - whistling birds, bubbling streams, blowing wind, or the deep growl of a camel.
The people of Tuva have a wide range of throat singing vocalizations. The three predominant styles are called khoomei, kargyraa and sygyt. Khoomei is traditionally a softer sounding style, with the fundamental (or drone) usually in the low-mid to midrange of the singer’s normal voice. Sygyt, literally 'whistling', has a midrange fundamental and is characterized by strong, flute-like or rather piercing harmonics, reminiscent of whistling. Kargyraa has a deep, almost growling sound to it and is technically related to Tibetan Buddhist chant.

Got here looking up Tuvian Chanting from an article about Freddie Mercury and I was not expecting this.... my jaw has dropped. This is incredible!
it is only 7:49 AM and I am already in a tuvan throat singing rabbit hole and utterly amazed.
Welcome to the party, my friend
That might have been one of the best polyphonic overtone performance I've ever heard!
I am a teacher of tuvan throat singing. The polyphonic main part you heard is a style sygyt. The main difference between western overtone singing and sygyt is that sygyt uses the constriction of your vocal folds (as all of tuvan throat singing styles does too) making your voice naturally richer in overtones, resulting in a louder overtone and lower volume on the fundamental tone.
Wish I could give 1,000,000 thumbs up!!! Absolutely fabulous!
Kathleen - Kat Young fabulous
Maybe you are overreacting? Some people like it while some people think it sounds bad.
The channel creator can, just download an outo clicker app 👍
It's fascinating, spiritual, an amazing gift and phenomenally beautiful
I wouldn't have thought it possible of the human voice if I weren't watching it with my own eyes 😮 Incredible 👏
Chills!. This is freaking amazing! Thanks for the upload and info bits
Fantastic...normally don't like overlays in vids but these were helpful! Thanks.
It's absolutely amazing
Wow. Beautiful and brilliant. Love it.
Outstanding! Deep noise like the backdrop of the universe
meditative and exhilarating - so beautiful! thanks
2:50 holy S%$#!
Amazing, to say the least. Beautiful performance. I wish I could see this live.
Awesome 👏
This was fascinating! Needs more views!
so good ... wow!!!
beautiful music
I love Alash!! I think they're absolutely amazing. The ranges in tone are mesmerizing! I'd definitely love to meet these fellas in person, I'm trying to learn the different techniques myself and can sing a good range of sounds.
I have actually met them in person. They came to my school and did solos, 4 different songs, and more!
btw my school is Elton Hills Elementary.
He came to my school today
The Beatles of throat singing
I’m just imagining how this would sound on an early 20th century radio
Amazing
When all three started singing together I’ve heard that exact sound when huffing nitrous at a Dead show. I woke up on the ground with all my balloons busted. ✌️😂👍
C'est Magnifique
Tuvan's diamonds
This is how it sounds in my head when the frosty machine is finally working at Wendy’s, midnight
How does this not have many Millions of views, while other far less skilled throat singers do? Have seen several videos and none of them even came close to comparing to the talent that these three have.
These guys and some beatboxers doing their thing could be shooting out some sick beats.
3 Cool Cats! Top draw!
The guy in the middle literally made didgeridoo with just his mouth...im astounded
Surreal 😲
Awesome best sounding i've heard yet. Nice drifty finnish
Werner Herzog's Little Dieter must fly film brought me to search for Tuvan singers. Other worldly and deeply spiritual sound.
Damn!
half of the song I can just hear "boot boot boot boot"
Lol
You came to my school today
О тувинцах должен узнать весь Мир. Жьіви Независимая Тува!
That was incredible. Where can I see Tuvan singing live?
I seen them today at ecu
I wonder if the low notes are something like "pedal tones" on trumpet. They are below normal range and sound like a tuba.
If you hear sygyt singing in the woods, run for your life.
whats up founders
I'm your 400th like 😂👌
What is the guitar thing that they are playing
I wonder what the lyrics mean...
Mbut mbut mbut
I saw throat singing in Mongolia recently. When he was singing with a low tone and whistling at the same time, I thought “How in the heck is he doing this???”
Paychadleic throat singing
Makes me want to dress like Gengis khan,ride a horse and drink yaks milk.
Me when nobody's at home
I'm not vegan enough to enjoy this, clearly
Great video from Alash, but I'm still wondering if kargyraa is related or not to buddhist chants, like Gyuto Monks. Maybe they use strohbass instead of false-folds voice(kargyraa/sardinian bass?)
Come ask them yourself at the Tribal Rhythms Gathering: didgeproject.com/gathering
Didge Project thank you for the info, too bad I already planned my vacation. Maybe you can ask them?
haha she found it lol
Dune...ritual Sardaukar chanting scene.

Шу де, Еки
I always see you in the comments and you say “Еки тур силер бе” what does it mean?
He sounds like he has an electrolarynx
At first I thought it was Tom Waits
This is so sick I can't belive he's creating this sound with his mouth
😂
Horseback cadence
Is this an attempt to communicate with beings from outer space?
Voila pourquoi je suis contre la mondialisation!
A primitive form of beatboxing
Beat box primitive ...
Not even close lol
Not even close lol
I mean, some techniques in beatboxing are fairly closely related to kargyraa, at least functionally
Sheldon does it better.
What do you mean?
