ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ธ.ค. 2015
- Kiah Hachey and Karen Flaherty are two young Inuit women from Nunavut in Northern Canada. Their magic is the female traditional art of katajjaq. Mostly performed as a duet, this form of throat singing mimics the natural world. Wind, ice, sea and bird sounds dominate.
Three young composers, students at the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar/ studio of electro-acoustic music, joined the duo.
Kiah Hachey - throat singing
Karen Flaherty - throat singing
Paul Hauptmeier - live electronics
Martin Recker - live electronics
Sergio Valencia - sound production
Recorded on 1 July 2015 at the "mon ami", Weimar.

I'm an old Punk Rocker from England, yet I am totally stunned by the beauty of this performance, It felt so primal and timeless.
I hope this will be kept alive for many generations to come.
Those two lovely ladies are my spirit animals for sure xx
My father was Inuit. I know nothing about his culture or life - I live in Australia. Listening to this was a revelation to me. Without the beath part - the melody is so familiar to me, vey haunting. With the breath, it sounds special, like a ceremony or time of transition. I can imagine for the singer it is purifying and medicinal.
Thank you for your post. So glad you found this video, and that it reached a profound part of your Spirit!
Perhaps you could research your roots? It’s never too late to find out. Good luck to you. :-) From Melbourne, Australia
You didn't learn much cause until recently they had banned our throat singing. It's familiar cause it's part of your shared memories from your ancestors. You remember cause they knew it and you have their memories you just needed to be reminded so to speak. Our people didn't have a written language we didn't need one we where born with the knowledge we needed just have to be reminded. ❤️
I never intended to watch till the end! These ladies are mesmerizing! I've been hooked on throat singing since I heard Mongolian Throat Singing a few months ago. I am just in awe of it all and taking it all in.
I bet it's actually quite an intense and emotionally intimate experience. And so exhausting I bet! Kinda hypnotic
@@pizzdecc She didn't say spiritual though.
SO TTHIER SONG THE RIVER THIER ADMITTEDLY GONNA SING WITH THE GOAL TO SOUND LIKE A MASS OF BULL FROGS DOWN BY THE RIVER.LOL
This mess is rawwwww. Omg. I love this! It’s primal
Wild free and oh so rhythmic.
This is phenomenal, thank you so much for sharing your talents and culture
Learned something. Never heard such voices before. Its very hypnotizing and relaxing. Awesome live SondFX and atmospheres! Greetings from germany
They sing on both the in and out breath. It's very exhausting. It can be the most powerful and moving performance I've ever seen.
Few views, but likely more informative and deeply entertaining than anything on TV tonight.
+magnus hendemark - few views is absolutely alright, not many will like something like this - but i´m happy, it´s there at all and we can watch and enjoy it - after having seen a short bit of inuit throat singing on tv quite a few years ago, i´ve kept searching for it, until i recently had the "brilliant" idea to look here on youtube, yessssss, there we are... :-)
cheers from germany
Found this treasure again after about 5 years, and I'm happy to see it finally got at least a bit of the attention it deserves (~150 k views in 2021). When I first found it, it only had about 100 views. :-)
People don't know what they're missing !
I feel as though the music was unnecessary, that these women's voices where everything they needed, still beautiful ❤️
This is absolutely amazing!!! I never knew this existed!! Think of how old these songs and sounds are!! Absolutely incredible!! Love it
I had never come across this before (so much for youtube algorithms as I enjoy mongolian throat-singing) and found it absolutely fascinating. Wonderful performance and education! Thank you Kiah and Karen.
I'm transfixed. So in awe of the talent of the singers and the electronic washes on some tracks totally captures the isolation and transcendent beauty of the north . Thank you so much for posting this for us to learn and be moved by.
I just discovered this genre and I really wish I could learn to throat sing, but I doubt I will ever be able to find someone to teach me in my part of the world. Kiah and Karen are really cool and wonderful singers. I loved hearing them explain more about tradition and technique.
Theres many tutorials on TH-cam
Even though I’m not Inuit, Metis and First Nations. My great grandfather was a Native and hearing this is just so nice and calming. It’s sounds so distantly familiar.
It's hard to look into my Grand Daughters' eyes, without remembering all that Great Grand Mother went through...
I learned something today... I like this type of singing. Thank you for uploading.
agradezco enormemente encontrar este video, escuchar a estas jóvenes cantando tan extraordinariamente! Un privilegio! Honro su canto y su cultura!!!
Terrific show, excellent throat singers ... acoustic back up also very fine; thanks for this post.
since I've found out about inuit throat singing I've looked up videos and learned about the cultural background. This is a great video explaining everything! I'm obsessed by the 'love song' It's so hypnotising
Love song, poor little puppy, the Wind, is my favorit song
You girls have and shared something so beautiful 😍 thank you!
This is so cool! I've never heard anything like it before. The girls were so sweet, you could really tell they were having so much fun!
This is first time I have listened to Inuit music, very talented singers.
It also reminds me of the struggle when someone’s dying and those noises. I’m actually blown away
One of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard.
Love these women
Thank you! I feel like something unique and precious was shared with me in a generous and open way.
I am so happy to find this performance along with the explanations of each type of song. I hope I can se it live one day. greetings From Vancouver BC
This was wonderful to watch and listen to. Great Job!!
I really love this kind of singing!! It's kind of mesmerizing and it relaxes me... And I love the sounds!
Absolutely entrancing, I love these people for sharing this
Can you imagine how proud their ancestors are looking down on them?
This is amazing.i feel it in my brain in my heart. Is shamanic music.
Could Not manage to stop listening to this 🤔 merci !
That was awesome! Thanks for singing. I love Inuit singing - I like that it reminds me of wolves or maybe eagles, rasping a lullaby to each other.
I love how you say that the throat singing always ends in laughter 😂❕So intriguing, intricate, primal , and so in touch with the natural elements ( sky, river, wind , insects, animals, etc.) using only the throat! So awesome‼️ Thank you for the explanations and being brave enough to carry on traditions looked down on by missionaries ! I’m now interested in learning how to do the basics! I’m Filipino-American and I do think there is a connection between Inuits and the Philippine Islands millions/billons of years ago‼️
才貌雙全！ 謝謝🙏
These girls are insanely talented, and so beautiful. I want to go live in Nunavut now!
Come to nunavut 😝
Magnifique 😊😊très beaux chants traditionnels et très bien interprétée 😆😆😆😆
Exceptional, Unique, Sound from another world.
Sounds of mother nature
Amazing! I reckon I can hear more than two voices. Spooky.
Its the overtones they're doing.
each mouth capable of making four sounds
fundamental

All traditional and that is very good. Keep up the good throat singing

Thank you so much ladies. My Aunt Connie had many tales i wished I'd been able to hear before she went on. Even here on the HARD LANDS, the people had had great things to learn from, I wished She'd had more time in order to learn from. Thank you very much.

This is fascinating!
What!!!!!???? This was phenomenal!!
I saw some of this singing in the movie "Fastrunner". Thank you for sharing this music with us..
I just heard the Love Song on DEVS and loved it. Something so soothing about it.
O my gosh this is profound. The love song reminds me of a Steam Train puffing along.
Amazing. Didn’t know this existed. ❤️
Thank you
reminds me of dog sleds... awesome stuff... superb.
...wow. Excellent performance👍👍
Thank you..... Fighter and the Kid!
È davvero un peccato che non sia mai abbastanza apprezzata e fatta conoscere una così bella musica nonché gli artisti che tanti sforzi profondono per darci il meglio di questo genere molto particolare!!
Wow, beautiful!
so beautiful!
Awesome!!!
Fantastic!!! For me it sounds like something extraterrestrial! Never heard before about the Inuit throat singing. I knew only about the Tuvan throat singing (and some other Asian), and I like it also very much.
So powerful, Love !!!
Hi from Edmonton🙂I spent a lot of time in the NWT and Yukon and LOVE Inuit people and I Love your Singing... I have been following a group of Natives in Siberia name "Otyken". I don't know what Nation they are part of, but I love their music. They do a bit of Throat Singing, but it's more like "Mongolian" than a native style like yours... I hope you can spread your style more 🙂
Very interesting and touching sounds! As "european overtone singer" I really appriciate your archaic singing.
Hypnotized and mesmerized
Kiah Hachey and Karen Flaherty are wonderful.
This was some great stuff !
So beatiful!!! please do a tutorial on how sing katajjaq!!!!
I want to try this, it sounds fun and calming and soothing
Wonderfully beautiful ladies
wow! goosebumps...
So relaxing
Maravilloso: hay música en el Hombre.
love................
respect 💗
Were the background acoustics necessary?
It's so abstract.
There's something very sensual with the way these two woman interact with each other, looking directly into each other eyes and standing a few inches apart, it was as if the were locked together in the most intimate way. I found the entire performance very feral and earthy and I loved very much.
