A New Generation of Inuit Throat Singers Are Shaping an Arctic Sound
Briefly

"Inuktitut was my first language, but I'm slowly losing it since I don't really have that opportunity to practice my culture as much as if I lived up north."
"I feel that so many people can relate to my story, and I think it's never too late to learn your culture."
Traditionally, two women face each other and alternate guttural sounds emulating sounds of the natural world—growling wildlife, blowing wind, flowing rivers."
The chantlike melody of sighs and shrieks, grunts and gasps, builds in speed and intensity until one person finally runs out of breath or bursts into laughter.
