Throat singing, or overtone singing, is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the resonances created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out of the lips to produce a melody.

It is thought that the art of throat singing originated from southwestern Mongolia in today's Khovd and Govi-Altai provinces. Nowadays, throat singing is found throughout the country and Mongolia is often considered the most active place of overtone singing in the world.
