Ghengis Blues is about a blind bluesman, nearly down and out, who heard throat singing on the shortwave he always played around with and he taught himself to make these vocal sounds where you have two or three notes at the same time, and he travels to Tuva (where my idol richard p feynman went) to seek out these throat singers and he enters a contest they hold every year. it is a sad and great movie.
