Khoomei
(written in Cyrillic: Хөөмей) The most popular style of Tuvan throat singing is known as Khoomei. Khoomei is traditionally a softer sounding style, with the fundamental (or drone) usually in the low-mid to midrange of the singer’s normal voice. In this style, usually 2 or 3 harmonics can be heard between one and two octaves above the fundamental. In Khoomei, the stomach is fairly relaxed, and there is less tension on the larynx than in other styles. Pitch is manipulated through a combination of lip and throat movement, like manipulating vowels (ee, ay, ah, oh, oo), and moving the tongue or jaw.
Singing in this style gives the impression of wind swirling among rocks.
The term "Khoomei" is also used as a generic term to designate all throat singing techniques in this region.
