		He heard khoomei, or Tuvan throatsinging, a rare type of harmonic singing in which one singer warbles out a variety of notes simultaneously in his throat.
		The sound is a surreal cross between a didgeridoo and radio feedback, amplified and softened by the human throat.
		His efforts were rewarded in 1993, when the renowned Tuvan throatsinger Kongar-ol-Ondar gave a concert in San Francisco and Pena introduced himself.

	Whole Earth: From Tuva to Tupelo
		As a formal musical style, throatsinging is integral to traditional Tuvan culture; almost predictably, it's an endangered form in its own land.
		But the technique isn't confined to northern Central Asia; given a world full of people with music in their heads and time on their hands, varieties of overtone singing were certain to be heard elsewhere.
		Pena lacked the money for any such journey ("Whenever you can show me a bank that a blind guy can rob, man, I'll be glad to go!"), but with some finagling and the support of Ralph Leighton and the Friends of Tuva he made it to Tuva and won first place in the kargyraa division.

	Film & TV: Genghis Blues (Austin Chronicle . 01-24-00)
		Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman; the musical technique known as "throatsinging" popular in the tiny upper Mongolian region known as Tuva; and one big, fl, blind guy playing the blues: Some people and events are just waiting for a documentary to coalesce around them.
		Above it all hangs the ghost of the adventurer/physicist/bon vivantFeynman, a longtime fan of both Tuva and throatsinging, who sadly passed away before he was able to journey there himself.
		Along with a coterie of equally oddball characters, Peña and the Belics (whose unobtrusive documentary style is perfectly suited to their subject) encounter one difficulty after another before finally reaching their goal.

	Genghis Blues - Repairman Jack Message Board (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		He is fascinated by this singing so he teaches himself how to do it and through a bunch of different circumstances he meets a Tuvan Throatsinger and decides to make a journey to Tuva to compete in a throatsinging competition.
		This documentary was actually very interesting to me, to see this very weird throatsinging (picture somone making the sounds of a Diggereedoo, and adding a harmonic sound over top of it at the same time, all with their voices alone), but was also kind of made me sad in a way.
		Pena is blind and has been since birth, he is very candid about some of the stuff that blind people have to deal with and how he never really felt like he belonged completely.

	The Buzz: Turning 'Blues' to Oscar gold?
		In Tuva, singers have perfected a technique called throatsinging that allows them to vocalize several notes simultaneously.
		One style of throatsinging sounds a little like that chain saw.
		It all started when Tuvan throatsinger Kongar-ol Ondar did a concert in San Francisco, where DeGeorge lives, and met Paul Pena, a blues singer who had stumbled upon Tuvan music one night on Radio Moscow.

		Pena is a blind bluesman from San Francisco who taught himself the art of Tuvan throatsinging, an esoteric vocal technique that involves producing several notes simultaneously.
		Though the throatsinging competition is the central drama, there are subplots involving the Dalai Lama, Genghis Khan, The Steve Miller Band and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
		And Paul Pena, a criminally neglected singer and songwriter, would be a worthy documentary subject even if he had never become a throatsinger.

		It was a beautiful thing we did together, but for that reason alone it should be left in the clouds.
		The song made a comeback during Björk's Vespertine tour in 2001, when she performed it live with beats replaced by Matmos and the vocal background of the Inuit choir from Greenland, with help of throatsinger Tagaq, in Italy's Parma, (8 nov) and Rome (10 nov).
		This new version was described by fans as more "world music" and was later on adapted to Medúlla's vocal theme with the help of beat-box guru Rahzel, and the song's journey came to an end when it finally got its release in 2004, and the honours of being the first commercial single off it.

		Genghis Blues recounts Pena’s journey to Tuva — tucked into a corner between Siberia and Mongolia — his nerve-wracking competition in a national Tuvan throatsinging event and his profound bonding with local throatsinging icon Kongar-ol Ondar.
		Yet Genghis Blues is funny in all the best humane ways, as when Pena’s contingent brings 70 nose flutes and a whole village of Tuvan kids runs around playing them, clamoring around the strumming Pena like he’s Julie Andrews.
		One of the first images of the film is a close-up of the throbbing neck tendon of a Tuvan throatsinger.
