Inuit throat singing

is called kattajaq and

survived

while the singers on Hokkaido, in Japan have basically had their tradition erased from the historical record

So anyway, Bjork has it on 2004 album, called Medulla, an there's one particular song on there called Vespertine

and I can't wait to check it out.

I haven't watched Atarnajuat, the Fast Runner, and its on my list of things to do before I disappear into the Hills. Hopefully its as good as Rabbit Proof Fence, which is an Australian back bush miracle, a story of love and hope and challenges to triumphal freedom.
