I'm only keeping this poem up until I can find another place to post it.


My poem for the land of Tuva. Anybody who has ever heard the high overtones of Tuvan Throat-Singing (e.g. Huun Huur Tu, Yat Kha, Tyva Kyzy, et al.) will understand why the text in this poem is laid out the in way it is. Tuva had it's independence for a while before being annexed by the U.S.S.R. in 1944, and is still officially part of the Russian Federation today. The Charaana is one of the main rivers in Tuva, running near Kyzyl (the Capitol), and has historically been associated with Tuvan Buddhism, as well as Tuvan Shamanism. As said by Kongar ool-Xovalyg, "there are so many songs written about the Charaana, I can not even count them." As far as the reference to Finland, there do exist several unique styles of Finnish Throat-Singing, and this has been the case for many, many, many centuries. Unfortunately, most Finns seem to be unaware of this. Please visit the official site of the Finnish Throat-Singing Society [link] . A good, short contemporary example of Finnish Throat-Singing is, among others, "Tuulennostatus" by Tenhi (one of my favorite bands in the world). Tenhi don't normally do throat-singing, but they're always damn impressive. Others include the Joik-singer Wimme Saari, among aboriginal Saami styles, native to the far north in Finland, Sweden, and Norway. I'm not sure if Finnish Throat-Singing includes overtones. Nonetheless, it's definitely worth checking out. LISTEN TO TENHI [link] !!! AND LISTEN TO HUUN HUUR TU [link] AND YAT KHA [link] AND TYVA KYZY [link] !!! They will change you!! For the better!!! You can listen to (very short) clips Huun Huur Tu's songs [link] (just click on a cd-cover) , but you can listen to complete songs on Yat Kha's audio page [link] (the Yat-Kha clips require RealPlayer for listening). My personal recommendation from Yat Kha is the song "Dynyldai" off the "Dalai Beliri" album. It's about 5 minutes long and features 4 different Tuvan Throat-Singing Styles. By the way, yes, the high "whistling" you hear from mark 3:12 to 3:39 on "Dynyldai" is a style of throat-singing, so yes, that is a human making that sound. Also, please do a service to yourself and learn about Tuva. Some really good places to begin are the Friends of Tuva organization [link] and The Tuva Trader [link] among others, as well as the official Pure Nature Music homepage [link] . Also, the film "Genghis Blues" [link] is an excellent documentary on the music of Tuva. Please, please, please take the time to learn about this fascinating land and its music! You'll be glad you did!

I like how the lyrics are so similar to many of the (central asian) folk songs.
my computer is messing up so I can't listen to the music, but I know the style so the message comes across anyway.

I love it I love it I love it!

*overwhelmed* gee, you're welcome :)
:iconravenfox:
Of course I'm in music, so of course I have to hear all your little ups and down in up and down musical notes. I'm just surprised I figured out how to read it. But yes, nicely done, very ... I don't know the word I'm looking for. But Indescribable might do, because it is so different to things I have seen.
:icongreycarnation:
Thank you so much!!

This is really powerful and the way you typed it deserves applause. I will definitely have to go to those sites because if that music can move you enough to write a poem like this then it must be worth listening to.
