wow that is interesting... what a sound!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Yam - that was really interesting ... I wondered how it started - and I must look to see where it was taking place - somewhere where the salmon spawn - I'd love to see the sculpture. Baffin Island to me seems to be in the east ... but Gail could well be right - cheers Hilary

DeleteBaffin is the northern and largest island that make up the coastline of Canada - admittedly more central, perhaps, but is part of Nunavut, the abutting region to the Northwest Territories... Yxx
I agree it is interesting but with the background noise of wind, I had a hard time hearing the humming. My ears are OLD and I have the same problems with background music in movies while people talk...
ReplyDeleteThat's different and very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt is an important and interesting part of Inuit culture - but it sounds terrible!
ReplyDeleteInteresting sound and video, I like the background and sculpture. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSeems like fun, interesting.
ReplyDeleteWell that was most unique and quite melodious. I am thrilled to learn about throat singing... it was a win win they both giggled at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHugs and thank you Cecilia
