Mongol Khuumei Today
Description Traditional Art of Khuumei (Throat Singing) (Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, 2010) Khuumei is a wonder of culture created by nomads, a unique phenomenon of traditional Mongolian music, an ancient art form, and the highest form of art produced by the vocal organs. Khuumei is considered one of the most significant and unique musical cultures, passed down from generation to generation through home training for hundreds of thousands of years, among nomads. The wonder of “whistling khuumei” as it is called lies in producing two or more pitches simultaneously, one of which is a fundamental pitch from the chest and the other a higher pitch resonating to the hard palate.
