Tuvan Throat Singers put on show at Edmond Library

The Edmond Sun

EDMOND — More than 200 people filled the meeting space Thursday at the Edmond Library and spilled out into the lobby to hear the Huun Huur Tu Tuvan Throat Singers. Singing folk music from their native Tuva, a small republic sandwiched between Mongolia and Siberia, the Throat Singers exhibited the unusual ability to sing two or more tones simultaneously.

The origin of the style goes back many centuries when it was used in religious rituals. The concert, part of the Metropolitan Library Systems’ 11-year-old “Our World” series, was sponsored by Friends of the Library through its annual book sale and the Oklahoma Arts Council.
