However, Inuit throat singing, or katajjaq, is unique because it is typically done between two women, facing each other, while harmonizing breaths. While no records were kept as to when exactly it started, it has been said it was used by Inuit women as sort of a game to pass the time. The first one to run out of breath or start laughing loses. The Residential School System attempted to remove "Throat Singing", as well as Inuit culture. However, under Canada's "Truth & Reconciliation" program (2015), the art form has been revived, and modernized with musical accompaniment by other artists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiojERilBlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIs4kv3LwEE ****************** Sunday 25 August "MIRISLOU" An Odyssey of Greek Music from the Rebetiko Subculture A taste of the Greek blues, stemming from the harsh realities of a marginalized subculture (late 19thcentury to the 1950s).
