Sardinian folk music. I couldn't find a clip but we were entertained one night by a group of singers with that throat music but also a man playing a pipe which also sounded like the throat singing.

Anyway as a yogi I was fascinated that the pipe player was using circular breathing, that is to say he could breathe in and out whilst still playing his pipe without pausing. It takes a lot of breath to play the bagpipes but they still have to pause every now and then for breath.

At the end he had a friendly competition with the singers as to who could hold a note the longest he won easily.

One more point

perhaps the HF need to script this tune with some words about Eze & Olise. Sing it on a Saturday afternoon.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

When I lived in Sussex, there was an attempt to restore the olde tradition of wassailing, by some of my fellow allotment plot holders. Wassailing = singing and drinking to encourage the spirits into ensuring a good harvest the following season.

I thought it would a carefully orchestrated barber-shop type thing, of a Summers evening , supping wine at the allotments.

However, this was a lot more sinister, The meeting was late at night at the allotments, and the other allotmenteers arrived half-pi$$ed, supping scrumpy-jack from cans.
What i initially thought was their wet-weather gear, was actually rubber crotch-less lederhosen.

I left before any singing started.

Thanks for that - found it really interesting to hear the Middle Eastern influence in the cadence.

When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep.
Not screaming and terrified.
Like his passengers.

Why do they all put that weird vowel whine and odd timbre into their singing? Sounds so affected.

Rather listen to Brit rock vocalists singing like they're from Louisiana than English folkies faking some 18th century country burr to harmonize with a squeezebox.

Excellent. Genuinely fascinating.

Wonder if you have heard the singing of the Yanomami from the Amazon? It becomes mesmerising [Link]
