#574 — Extraordinary voices, Part 2

The aim here is not a subjective quest to find "the best voices in the world", but rather to let you hear some incredible talents and unusual techniques from singers who usually associate with folk and traditional music.

Today, more singers from Bulgaria (including the song shot into space on Voyager 1), the Arab world and Africa, India and Canada.
