Thread Name: Obit: Kongar-ol Ondar, Tuvan throat singer (2013)
Subject: RE: 2013 Obit: Kongar-ol Ondar, Tuvan throat singer
As I clicked on your link, I wondered if it was the man who had come to Mystic, but it wasn't.

After my previous post I realized that someone might wonder what Tuvan throat singing had to do with the seaport. The presenter had filmed three work songs being sung while the work was being done. Each song was done in a different part of the world with a different type of work. One song was sung by fisherman which was the part of the film presented at the symposium. Those of us who were interested had a chance to view the whole film later in the Sea Music Festival, and that's when the young man helped us learn to throat sing.
