Alex Glenfield demonstrates three rare overtone singing styles from Tuva, including "khat kargyraa" (wind), "ezengileer" (stirrup), and "khoor kargyraa" (grave). The demonstration of ezengileer on "Seven Styles of Overtone Singing" is a less pure example of the traditional style than the one heard here. But as we all know, tradition is notoriously impure.
