A lot on the main channel. No, I don't think so. 
On the Global Mix, maybe but I'm liking it every time like a good friend coming by.
A 9 for me.

Amazing

RP has a lot of tunes that "grew on me"!  Be open minded. That is why we come here.  Thanx RP!   
Exactly Joe! Never know whether the next track will be completely out there or completely mainstream - or anything in-between. I love it. I've discovered so much I would never have heard anywhere else - and if I REALLY don't like it there's the move on button, though I try not to use it often.

I used to agree more than wholeheartedly, especially the first few bars, OMG!, but then it just hit me and I moved my "1" to an "8." Same thing with the Smiths... I think it's one of those weird things that happens occasionally because it's RP! 

(Still waiting since 2004-ish for Sucko-Barfo B Dylan to move up. )

I was practicing my throat singing and got quite good- until the people at the speech clinic told me to stop before I acquired permanent damage. Maybe that’s what happened to Tom Waits?

An instant 10 because I have a particular soft spot for Tuvan throat singing and the morin khuur, especially when they're deployed as well as they are in this track. 
This is music... of the soul. 
One of my most favorite artists. On so many levels. 

Magnificent.

They are in a language that Mathias invented.
Check out his YouTube channel, you will find insights in the comments.

I absolutely love this song and his other song here on RP. Love his abilities to use his voice. Whole song sung by himself. Impressive!

You had me at gargle Dick.

Also, I'm told that Angus McGonagle, the Argyle Gargoyle, gargles Gershwin gorgeously.

this rocks
Love this one so much...
This is amazing. His voice reminded me of George Ezra's at first.
davvero sempre molto bello ascoltare questa canzone questo artista un vero artigiano della musica senza mille amplificazioni - suoni di strumenti e voce. ciao M

trippy, dance music...eh? 
sembra una canzone pellirossa? o musica popolare celtica molto bella
French artist ?

An amazing talent, the whistles get me ...

Same exact sentiments here.... in fact I just vaulted my already-bumped-to-9-rating to 10....and can't wait to hear it again...LLRP!!

...and I think I'll have to do the same whenever "Sombarai" is played again....this music transports me from my office all the way to Mongolia.  Great Stuff, BillG...absolutely great!!

Long Live RP!!
Thanks for this one Bill.  Never heard of him before and I love music that will transport you if you let it.
I don't buy much music but yup, after RP played this one I bought the CD. Need a good headset or speaker system and a bit of volume to get the texture of this song. It's primitive and messy but it's lifting you to the stars.

Billy West wasn't the original voice actor for Popeye - that was primarily Jack Mercer in the 1930s.  But West, who voiced-over the 2004, CGI Popeye film, did say he got the idea after watching a film about Paul Pena (who wrote "Jet Airliner"), who had heard Tuvan throat singing on a shortwave radio and became interested in it.

 
I think he might have meant the actual original voice done by William Costello, as once he was dismissed, Jack Mercer took over after learning how to imitate how William Costello had done the voice.
When friends are over and I'm playing my (google music) playlist of songs I created based on introduction from RP:  when Mathais' "Sombarai"comes on....I'd say I get more comments than on almost any other song.  Positive feedback.

Thanks Bill and Rebecca.

This sounds like Richard Thompson on acid
I just love that this track has a 7.1 rating. 

Thanks fellow RP Peeps! 
 Great reference to Gabriel here. Thanks Michael.

Give this song a chance, Shake your hands, pull your fingers, stroke my hair, scratch your nose, hug your knees, fold your arms, breathe in deeply, cross my legs, Shrug your shoulders, stretch your back,

Then!  Go ahead and do your best to sing along with Mathias, (I do).  I think you'll find we've got something more than 'a vote for diversity' going on here. 

Thanks Bill, for introducing me to this sound.  Duplessy has integrated Mongolian throat singing, with the blues and he threw in the kitchen sink, it's just awesome.  I thought Harry Manx was all alone out there, glad to see he's got some company now.  If we can just find someone who has studied and jammed with inter-dimensional aliens for 7 years, we might surpass these guys. 

Bill, you know what we're looking for now, right.

 

This was just amazing. As a vocalist I can completely understand the effort and mastery of technique it takes to produce this kind of vocalization. To apply it so effortlessly with conventional singing and composition of a pleasing nature..... genius. Incredible.

That is not a beautiful voice. Methinks Mathias needs to cough up a lung
Un Français multi-instrumentiste qui fait de la musique du monde. C'est extra et très bon à l'écoute ! :)

What a great sound. The composition of the song is beautifully crafted too, like riding across the steppe, daydreaming. Bill and Rebecca really are musicologists par excellence.

YES, this counts as singing. I knew and performed with Kongar-Ool Ondar, one of the most famous Tuvan throat singers in the world, who sadly died a few months later. It's amazing to watch and hear. It's a finely-honed art form requiring years of study. He was a wonderful guy and a very nice man. Ondar could simultaneously produce three tones at once: The low, chesty growl, the what-I-think-of-as the handsome man middle voice, and the birdlike whistling over the top of the others. The last time I saw him, he had a dreadful flu, but he soldiered on and completed our show (I am with Zhena Folk Chorus). He then left for a several-city tour after the show.

Just because it's not Pat Boone or Justin Bieber, it doesn't mean it's not singing. There's a fascinating film on part of his life called Genghis Blues, detailing a trip back to his home several years ago. There is a lot of throat singing in it. Once you become acquainted with it and with him, you might find yourself enjoying it. I did.

 

This is also why I love RP, where else would you find someone like Betty who could give such a thoughtful and informative comment on Tuvan throat singing?!!! From personal experience too. Bravo Betty.

BTW, many of the Hunmen (Huns)  were in western Europe both before and after their military campaigns, working as cavalry for various polities. They were mainly Turkic and originated near the region of modern Tuva, also Turkic, having similar pastoral lifestyles and religion. No doubt some Tuvans were with them.

They integrated well, marrying local girls, and left a significant legacy. In Britain, many place names have the "Hun" component in them. Hunmanby, in the north east of England being the most obvious. Tuva was part of the Mongol Empire that swept across Europe again in later times, and again, some of the Golden Horde remained.

The peoples from around the Tuvan region have also been genetically linked to the Native American/First Nations too, thus originally populating the Americas.

So, if you claim any British descent (or European, or ... etc.) there is a good chance you have a drop of Central Asian blood in you from way back. We're all Eurasians you see (AfroEurAsians to honour our African roots and be accurate, i.e. Humans.), look at the map. This is why some rich psychopaths are stirring up all the trouble. Eurasia at peace by fair treaties will be good for humanity. Check out the "New Silk Road". A rail link echoing the original migrations across the Bering Strait is also proposed, joining the trade corridors of the Old World with the New.

All you English-speaking haters, please take note, we are all family. This could be the voice of your ancestors.

And it's waaay cool! ! !

Sorry, I got carried away a bit there. {(:-{o>

 
Getting carried away is what makes (most) everything worthwhile. All knowledge is in some sense specialized and this post adds to our collective understanding of who we are and how we got here. Even if regurgitating info from other sources. Also, an interesting Europeanized piece of music. We diverged before and during the Pleistocene and are re-merging.
That was great... It added a little more experience to my day, Thanks Bill. 
I'm listening to this for the first time, and intrigued. Odd — well, not for RP — and quite likable. (My monolingual ears and brain wanted to force the lyrics into something more familiar, but the best I could do was to think of it as a weird form of "Hava Nagila". Plus throat singing. Plus didgeridoo. Or something.)

Then, I was enlightened by the comment from Betty.

Now THIS is one of the reasons I love RP. The coolest music, AND the coolest, most interesting people on the planet - who also happen to write well! (So needed and appreciated, compared to the comments dreck everywhere else on the interwebz.) {#Hug}
i give him a 9 just because i don't know what is he singing

I'm feeling likewise😀 love R/P for the variety, and I'm a fan of the throat singing💖

Around the world with music. Love this sort of eclectic global music from places I have yet to see and touch. 
Wasn't there an episode  in Frasier where he and Niles were excited about having tickets to see a group of Tibetan throat singers? Yet another reason why RP rules... not only do they play EVERYthing, but they have the magical ability to find something to put on to follow it.

In the true spirit of diversity, we again have RP. Even if one doesn't like the song, it still exists.

hmm, this comment just instilled a sudden fear in me that the world I see is not the same as the world other humans see - you know like when you can argue heatedly with someone about whether a colour is orange or red or if another color is blue or actually green.. I never realised that all the DB haters out there actually hear him throat singing.. I feel now like I am missing out on something.. Gives stop making sense a whole new layer.
Absolutely floored. This is unbelievably cool.
