Deeply spiritual, aesthetically stunning, and utterly unfamiliar, the Huun Huur Tu throat singers hail from Tuva, a region near the Siberia/Mongolia border. Separately issuing a low hum, a middle-range ululation, and a high-pitched whistle, a single member can sing a three-part harmony. Employing traditional Tuvan stringed instruments and percussion in addition to vocals, this four-man band can sound, bewilderingly, more than twice its actual size.
