No one can say for sure when the art form of throat singing began. The historical records mention it as early as the Han Dynasty, between 206 – 220 BC. Throat singing then appears in Chinese texts dating in 92 AD. From these accounts, we learn that the northern barbarians who worshipped the wolves sang with a scary roaring sound when they attacked, which scared their enemies. Following a battle, these same men would sit around the fire and whistle from their throats.
These ancient barbarians were none other than the nomadic Mongolians, and throat singing is said to have originated with the Uriankhai ethnic group of the Gobi Altai and Khovd regions.
Today, throat singing can be heard all over the world, yet Mongolia has perfected the true form as it is performed at its highest level. It is a wonder to behold masters of the form.
Locally known as Hoomii—which translates to “base of the palate” in Mongolian—throat singing can produce multiple sounds at the same time, yet is performed without any musical instrument. Performed solo or in an ensemble, the range of possible sounds is created using only the lips, palate, nose, throat, chest, and belly.
You can divide the styles of Hoomii into four different types:
Kharkhiraa: producing a sound coming from the belly of the performer.
Narmai Hoomii: sound generated from the nose.
Shakhai: sound generated from the depths of one’s throat.
Isgeree: a whistle generated from the mouth.
Isgeree can be further divided into three different styles—using the teeth, lips, and palate. The person who can perform all three is considered a master throat singer.
The legendary origin of Hoomii says that, in the ancient times, an orphaned boy was lost within the high mountains among many high cliffs. When the wind blew, the rocks created certain sounds. For three years the boy learned to interact with the nature around him by speaking the natural sounds, and in return the nature helped the boy to survive. And when the boy left the mountains, he started to tell people what he had experienced and taught what he had learned.
It is also said that Mongols don’t whistle in Winter, Spring or at night, because the whistling will increase the wind and will bring the cold. Therefore, Isgeree is performed only in Summer to bring cool air.
Prior to the 1950s, only the nomads performed Hoomii amongst themselves. However, with the start of Democracy in Mongolia in the ‘90s, music schools started to teach Hoomii, and people started to experiment with accompanying the singing style with different instruments across various genres of music. In 2010, Hoomii was added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Contemporary bands intertwining Hoomi with modern music have elevated it and found new audiences worldwide. Most noteworthy has been the Mongolian rock band The HU, whose YouTube subscribers total almost 900K, with video views well over 100M—proving that one of the world’s most intriguing art forms is as vital today as it was 2,000 years ago.

Looking to pick up a new, intriguing and challenging skill? Are you an aspiring singer who really wants to hone and refine their voice by pushing it in different and exciting ways? If so, then you may want to try learning how to throat sing.
This is a technique of singing developed from ancient Mongolian methods, and it’s unique in that the voice is stretched to produce multiple notes simultaneously! What’s great about Mongolian throat singing (or, as it’s sometimes referred to, Tuvan throat singing ), is that you won’t need to travel across the planet to learn the craft. Simply read further on in this article to pick up the technique and add a great skill to your singing toolbelt!
Throat singing is a style of singing, almost chanting, deeply embedded in several ancient cultures. Originally known as overtone singing, the singer can create several notes or tones simultaneously through manipulation of the throat cavity and controlled breathing (work on your breathing exercises if you don’t already). While the sound is most commonly guttural, utilizing deep tones, melodic tones can also be produced.
When I first heard the notes resonating from a weathered-looking Mongolian man, I was quite mesmerized. To me, the sound resembled that of a didgeridoo.
There are several very different cultures that have their own style of throat singing. All use the same general technique, however, they have been utilized for different purposes within society.
Nestled in Russia, just north-west of Mongolia is the Tuva region. As a rural region, the herding lifestyle of the Tuvan people lent itself to the males copying sounds of nature for entertainment on these long journeys. The young men were exclusively trained in the art as it was said that if women performed throat singing they would become infertile.
I can imagine days of herding on horseback through the barren and cold Mongolian wilderness, with the sounds of a throat singer bouncing from the surrounding rock faces. It would be almost hypnotic.
With the occupation of the region by the Soviets in the 1900s, the practice was forbidden due to being seen as a ritual. However, the art form has seen a resurgence in Mongolia and Tuva since the 1980s.
In contrast, the women of the Inuit people from North Canada have throat singing embedded deeply within their culture . The Inuit women’s style differs in that the technique focuses more on short, sharp inhalations and exhalations. Another difference is the performances were in groups and were utilized to calm the children.
One similarity is the practice was forbidden for over 100 years by Christian priests. Thankfully, the young women of the Inuit people have recently taken it upon themselves to revive the tradition and learn the art of throat singing from their elders.
The Xhosa people are the indigenous people of the south-east region of South Africa. Interesting fact, Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu were both Xhosa. This Xhosa is Africa’s sole culture to be identified as practicing throat singing and it is predominantly the women who sing.
The songs are held at a very low register for women, quite similar to the Tuvan style. The tongue is lifted up and down to create the differing tones, resonating between the tongue and pallet. The main purpose of throat singing within this culture is to create melody during celebrations and festivals.
Now you know the origins of this ancient singing style, let’s give it a crack. It is said the only way to learn the art form properly is from personal coaching, however, this is a great place to start. Even though there are several different styles of throat singing, generally learning how to throat sing can be attempted using the following steps:
Hold your mouth open about half an inch and let it relax. A tip can be to simultaneously listen to a recording of a cello playing a D note and sing “oo” in the same tone. Breathe out for an extended period while doing this. Kind of yoga-like.
Making these sounds naturally pushes your tongue towards the pallet of your mouth. For this process, you need to keep your tongue just away from this position, slightly below the roof of your mouth. As you are learning it may drift to the top, just try to keep it away.
Now you have your tongue in the correct position, sing “oo” (like pool) in your lowest note . This is where your breathing comes in. Sing with your diaphragm , and hold the note for as long as you can.
This is where it gets a little tricky. While holding this note, move your tongues’ base between the R and the L shape. Try to keep the tip of your tongue touching the roof of your mouth.
Now try doing this while changing the shape of your lips as though you are saying two sounds; E and U. The sound is like saying “see you”. The change in your lips’ shape is what changes the resonance of the sound produced.
You may need to play around with your tongues positioning as we are all slightly different.
If you are anything like me then this will be a real laugh at the start. I had no exposure to creating this sound so trying to get this technique down was definitely shaky at the start! It certainly has some benefits in expanding my vocal range , for sure!
On a deeper note, learning about ancient cultures and traditions is such an important way to explore the world when you can’t physically travel. It’s also kind of cool to be one of the few people in the world to throat sing.
Now you know how to Mongolian throat sing you will just need to practice. When you first begin, it is quite difficult to hear the different tones due to blocks from your inner voice but don’t be disheartened, practice makes perfect!
