The Sydney based band Equus perform a collection of traditional Mongolian folk songs and their arrangement of 'Summertime,' a lullaby that opens Gershwin's famous opera 'Porky and Bess'. The group's exotic instrumental sounds are further enhanced by Bukhu's overwhelmingly beautiful and spiritual overtone singing, known as höömij (throat). This technique produces two simultaneously audible pitches, one being a whistle-like sound and the other being a drone bass. This sound requires the singer to lock breaths within the chest.
