    It's a documentary about the blind blues musician, Paul Pena, who discovers the Tuvan art of throatsinging on his short-wave radio one night, teaches himself how to do it, and goes to Tuva to enter their tri-annual competition.

    Throatsinging is the way of singing 2+ notes at once, harmonizing with yourself. It sounds un-earthly.
    Pena created the hybrid of blues guitar and Tuvan singing. Awesome. Great movie, too.
