  "lineage": "Tuvan Republic (Russian-Federation Southern-Siberia, ethnically and linguistically Turkic-Mongolic) throat-singing tradition with five canonical styles — khöömei middle-register-resonance, sygyt high-isolated-whistle-overtone, kargyraa low-deep-undertone-style, borbangnadyr rolling-modulated-overtone, ezenggileer rhythmic-broken-overtone (horse-riding-mimetic). Distinct from the parallel Mongolian khoomei lineage despite the shared ethnographic-Turkic-Mongolic heritage; Tuvan technique tends toward higher-pitched sygyt isolation versus Mongolian deeper kharkhiraa. Embedded in nomadic herder-pastoralist work-song repertoire and in shamanic-trance ritual practice. The 1990s-onward post-Soviet international-touring exposure (initial European-and-American world-music-circuit) catalyzed contemporary-revival and academic-research interest.",
