Alacie Tullaugaq & Lucy Amarualik - Katutjatut: Throat Singing

Practiced by the Inuit of Canada, two vocalists face each other mere decimeters away and try to outlast each other with intense and unusual vocal techniques. In its native context it's considered more of a game than a form of music, but there are now several recording artists keeping the tradition alive and finding new contexts for it.
