Post Something Cool From The Internet

ABC news In-depth.
RetroFocus.
"Is there life on other planets?" (1962).
(Btw, one of the respondents saw a flying saucer with his own eyes).

 
"1910-1913. Scenes in Russia". (Video remastering, speed corrected + sound added).


P.S.: on 10'16" these boys are dancing the sailors' dance "Yablochko" ("The apple"). Even i play this dance at Annie's class to the movements of Grand Battement (but the melody is different,- the most "classical" variant of Yablochko).

When i saw this video, for some reason, i thought of you, @blues (that you might like it).
It's a very modest edition of "...Got talent" series. "Central Asia's got talent". Kazakh ethno-folk ensemble "Khassak" is playing a very cool arrangement. The most astonishing thing is the diversity of folklore instruments that they use (in average, 15), and how they are used. The music "tissue" is very sophisticated, despite the absense of tonality shifts and development. And, of course, the famous "throat singing" is used (in quite an agressive way, but still it's interesting). The dude is singing in Kazakh language (and in the beginning, in the interview, they are speaking Kazakh), but on stage they all are speaking Russian, and all jury members are speaking Russian. And of course, in the end they deserved the golden button, lol.
P.S. based on what i've seen, their costumes are close to origins (it's just a festive variety).
And from all his singing, i understand only one word: "Kazakhstan", haha.

:rolleyes: Heck, I didn't think we had them down here. Anyway, comedian Guy Williams rocked up to their conference and had a bit of a rave with them. I still don't know if its satire. Please, someone, tell me it is.

Well that's interesting, a few days back before you posted I was watching a group of throat singers (I tried to find the video, but can't)
big thanks for pointing out there were 15 instruments in the clip, I would have missed that.

I wonder if there are female "throat singers':)

Hi @blues , here is just another example of (decent) female throat singing.
Singer Aryuna Nimayeva is singing an arranged folklore Buryat song "Erbed Sookhor" ("Leopard and tiger"). It's actually a name of the horse breed (their fur is colored like leopard's fur). The homeland of these horses is Aginskaya prairie (here are a few photos of the prairie and neighbourhoods, including the forest, the megalith, and river Onon.
Ethnic group Buryats (i have an acquaintance girl who is an ethnic buryat,- she used to be in one group with me at the conservatoire, and now she works at the lyceum and she's a solfeggio teacher!):
It was the favourite horse breed of Genghis Khan (i take it, you're aware of who he is):
"Erbed Sookhor" (sometimes it's a little off pitch, because it's a live performance, but still, she's talented):

Thanks for that I am still trying to get my head around throat singing. I was watching a german lady "throat singer", is that what they are really called?. She was brilliant, highly intuitive energies, but was it throat singing?

I can see the merits of solfeggio singing, especially for personal development. I didn't know it was discovered by a monk about 8 to 9 hundred years ago.

Your post brings out the share beauty, architecture and vastness of your country. :)
