Tanya Tagaq's music taps into something ancient and deeply human. It's the sound of the earth, of breath, of survival. She fuses katajjaq with modern experimental soundscapes to create a sonic exorcism. Truly transportative. #TanyaTagaq #music #nowplaying #supportartists #katajjaq #Nunavut #Canada

Katajjaq—Inuit throat singing—is a vocal tradition shaped by the land. Once banned, now reclaimed.

A New Generation of Inuit Throat Singers Are Shaping an Arctic Sound Inuit throat singing has always mimicked the surrounding environment. For so long, that was the blustery Arctic—but new generations in Canada’s cities are evolving the sound.

“Known as #katajjaq, this #musical #performance is an ancient call-&-response contest..2 women face each other and alternate guttural #sounds emulating sounds of the natural world—growling wildlife, blowing wind, flowing rivers.”: buff.ly/0BEYBjz
