Two singers stand very close together, literally exchanging breath, singing in wide-ranging, wordless, onomatopoetic tones. The singing is in close syncopation, mimicking the close proximity of the singers.  It is an open-throated sound, using glottal stops rather than the more closed throat overtone-rich style of Mongolian throat song.  And, despite the wordlessness, the intent and topic of the songs is remarkably clear.<br \/>\nThis song, The Love Song, is a contest. She who laughs first looses.  I recorded the singers, Karen Panigoniak and Maria Illungiayok, in the traditional Inuit community of Arviat, in NW Hudson Bay.  Karen and Maria studied Inuit throat song for over a decade.  They are terrific performers.<\/p>\n<p>This piece is being broadcast Valentine&#8217;s Day and throughout the week on Living on Earth. In following weeks more of Karen and Maria&#8217;s excellent work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/marksethlender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Maria-and-Karen-singing-1-70992.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Maria and Karen singing - 1-7099\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-735\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/marksethlender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Maria-and-Karen-2-71001.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Maria and Karen - 2--7100\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-736\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- degradable html5 audio and video plugin --><div class=\"audio_wrap html5audio\"><div style=\"display:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marksethlender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/audio\/The Love Song mono.mp3\" title=\"Click to open\" id=\"f-html5audio-0\">Audio MP3<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">AudioPlayer.embed(\"f-html5audio-0\", {soundFile: \"https:\/\/marksethlender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/audio\/The Love Song mono.mp3\"});<\/script><\/div><audio controls autobuffer id=\"html5audio-0\" class=\"html5audio\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marksethlender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/audio\/The Love Song mono.mp3\" title=\"Click to open\" id=\"f-html5audio-0\">Audio MP3<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">AudioPlayer.embed(\"f-html5audio-0\", {soundFile: \"https:\/\/marksethlender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/audio\/The Love Song mono.mp3\"});<\/script><\/audio><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (jQuery.browser.mozilla) {tempaud=document.getElementsByTagName(\"audio\")[0]; jQuery(tempaud).remove(); jQuery(\"div.audio_wrap div\").show()} else jQuery(\"div.audio_wrap div *\").remove();<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Love Song An Inuit Throat Song Inuit throat singing is the province of women.
