Some really amazing music

I saw this group about 10 days ago and they were simply astounding.
If you're into folk/ethnic music you will enjoy.
This group is from Tuva, which is somewhere between mongolia and tibet.
Their special skill is "throat or overtone" singing. The can hold a note in the low range and then sing a melody on top of it. Some singers can actually sing chords.
here are a couple of clips, which aren't bad but nowhere near live.
the first is a good example of throat singing
the second one literally picked me up out of my seat and carried me away.
