...will rarely hear it in its pure form, however, and that's possibly because throat singing - in which the vocalist manipulates not just the throat but the diaphragm and mouth to produce astonishing tones, drones and buzzes - is something of a commercial gamble outside the Tuvan, Siberian and Mongolian worlds. Far more bankable are collaborations like that behind Eternal, the new album from producer Carmen Rizzo and musicians Kaigal-ool Khovalyg, Sayan Bapa, Radik Tyulyush and Alexei Saryglar, who together comprise the celebrated Tuvan vocal ensemble Huun Huur...
