Im Mittelpunkt war am Anfang das Feuer, dass entfacht wurde, als Rolf und seine Frau von Kerns, am Bachtel eintrafen. Wir stimmten uns gleich mit Fujara und Didgeridoo ein, die perfekt miteinander harmonierten.

Obertongesang
Obertongesang ist eine Gesangstechnik, die aus dem Klangspektrum der Stimme einzelne Obertöne so herausfiltert, dass sie als getrennte Töne wahrgenommen werden und der Höreindruck einer Mehrstimmigkeit entsteht. Man spricht dann von Obertongesang, wenn den Obertönen eine eigenständige musikalische Funktion zukommt, zu unterscheiden von Gesangtechniken, die lediglich die Klangfarbe der Stimme mit Obertönen anreichern.

by Bernard Dubreuil / June 1, 1997

In Mongolia, in the Republic of Touva, in certain monasteries of Tibet and among the Xhosa people of South Africa, one can hear an amazing vocal technique in which one singer can produce two stable notes at the same time while a third note varies on top.
