Award winning performer Tanya Tagaq will embark on her first U.S. solo tour in August to showcase her unique style of Inuit throat singing....The Nunavut-born singer has gained notoriety through partnering with the world's most groundbreaking artists, including a successful 2008 tour that she co-wrote and performed with the Kronos Quartet, aptly titled "Nunavut." She also worked with the multi-talented Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle) and her latest record Auk/Blood was released through his label Ipecac Recordings (Sept. 2008). Icelandic visionary Björk took an interest early on to Tanya and brought her on her Vespertine tour in 2005. [On her solo dates] Tanya will be performing alongside SF-based drummer Scott Amendola and Vancouver violinist Jesse Zubot.In NYC, Tanya Tagaq will be appearing on Wednesday, August 19th at Lincoln Center's Out Of Doors Festival at the Damrosch Park Bandshell. She'll also be playing the next day (August 20th) at the National Museum Of The American Indian Pavilion (near Battery Park).
Lincoln Center's Out of Doors Festival kicked off last night (8/5). Full schedule at their site. All events are free.

Nothing like a bit of throat singing to start off the day

Sorry to nitpick, but wasn't the Vespertine tour 2001? I think Bjork just played Carnegie Hall in 2005.

I have heard of this type of singing long ago and this now seems like an attempt at eclectic supposed people to commodify on that.
Is she from Mongolia?

So... in case you people didn't know, throat-singing is a generic term that has unfortunately been thrown on top of Tuvan overtone singing as well as Inuit breathing/rhythmic games. They have very few similarities and functions. This is Inuit throat-singing, a ancient musical game that is played by Inuit women to see who can go the longest without breaking the rhythm. Tanya Tagaq is taking this ancient game and trying to make the public aware of her ancestral traditions. So before commenting on how horrible the music is or how you'd rather hear a completely different genre of music, you should do some research.
