Do you believe one person can sing two pitches(音高)at the same time? This is Khoomei(呼麦), or Mongolian throat singing, a special art form of the Mongolian ethnic group(蒙古族).
A Khoomei singer uses his or her voice in a special way to produce two or more pitches at the same time. The singer creates a low, deep sound from the throat as the base. At the same time, the singer changes the shape of the mouth and where the tongue is placed; a high whistle-like sound comes out on top. The distance between the low and high sounds can be as wide as six octaves(八度)!
Khoomei dates back to about 2,300 years ago. At that time, ancient people hunted and lived as nomads(牧民)on the grassland. They heard the sounds of nature—waterfalls, wind, and animals. They believed that by imitating the sounds, they could connect with nature and the universe. This was the beginning of Khoomei.
Khoomei became popular during the 13th century on the Mongolian grassland. In the 20th century, it almost disappeared in some places. But since the 1980s, people in Inner Mongolia have worked hard to bring it back. Today, more young musicians are mixing Khoomei with modern music, and it is winning fans all over the world.
In 2009, UNESCO added it to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产). Khoomei is more than just singing. It is a window into the Mongolian people's spirit and reflects their love for nature.
