Hello, Siberia!

It’s cold out tonight!
So here’s one of my favorite clips of Siberian throat singing:

The Only Person Named Bush Who Ever Looked Good In Military Clothes

And That Last Video Kind of Reminded Me of This One, From Omar Souleyman

Omar Souleyman…  He’s Syrian, but with some Kurdish influences in his music.  This clip, for “Leh Jani” has been making the rounds among a few of my favorite blogs for the past few months.  It is quite something…  And notice that dance style (again).  I think it would be fun if we had some of this kind of [...]
