Inuit throat singing, or ''katajjaq'', is a form of musical performance uniquely found among the Inuit. (An analogous form called ''rekuhkara'' was once practiced among the Ainu of Hokkaidō, Japan.) The Inuit performers are usually women who sing only duets in a kind of entertaining contest to see who can outlast the other. However, at least one notable performer, Tanya Tagaq, performs throat singing as a solo artist and as a collaborator with non-throat singing musicians such as Icelandic pop music star Björk. The musical duo Tudjaat performed a mixture of traditional throat singing and pop music. ==New World terms== The name for throat singing in Canada varies with the geography: * Iirngaaq〔(''Iirngaaq'', Nunavut Arctic College – Interviewing Inuit Elders, Glossary )〕 – some Nunavut communities * Piqqusiraarniq〔 or Pirkusirtuk – Igloolik and Baffin Island * Qiarvaaqtuq〔 – Arviat * Katajjaq〔 or Katadjak〔 – Nunavik and South Baffin * Nipaquhiit〔 – some Nunavut communities 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inuit throat singing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
