THROAT SINGING IN KANGIRSUK
YouTube, 2:15 p.m. ET
I’m familiar with native Tuvan throat singing from Russia, thanks to the brilliant Ondar CD Back Tuva Future. But this film, a Sundance Film Festival entry presented in this virtual We Are One: Global Film Festival lineup and website, looks at Throat Singing in Kangirsuk – which I had to look up. Kangirsuk, it turns out, isn’t in Russia. It’s in Canada: an Inuit village in northern Nunavik in Quebec. Don’t arrive late, or blink: This documentary is only three minutes long. In terms of context and expansiveness, therefore, don’t expect a very deep Throat.
