Inuit throat singing or katajjaq is a form of musical performance uniquely found among the Inuit. (There used to be a similar style Rekuhkara practiced by the Ainu in Hokkaidō but that has since died out.) Unlike the throat singers in other regions of the world particularly Tibet Mongolia and Tuva the Inuit performers are usually women who sing only duets in a kind of entertaining contest to see who can outlast the other.
