In some musical traditions of southern Siberia and Mongolia, singers use vocal techniques that highlight separate overtones within a sound. These practices are often grouped under the label “throat singing”, although local names and styles differ.
Listeners may hear what sounds like several pitches at once. The effect comes from shaping the resonance of the voice. Some styles evoke the natural world and are closely connected with local musical heritage.
Understanding the differences between traditions is more useful than treating a large region as one musical culture.
