Xalavmov

Xalavmov is a singing tradition found in the broader region of East Boroso. It is marked by the use of the male singing roles using the falsetto register, while the female singing roles are sung using undertone singing, to create an effect where the normal singing roles are reversed such that the high notes are sung by the men and the low notes are sung by the women. The woman specifically uses the false vocal folds to achieve the desired auditory effect. It is part of a broader tradition of throat singing among the cultures of eastern boroso.

History

The singing tradition had been founded among the endemic people of the east borosan nations of Taanttu and Bavkirak. It originated as part of an old legend in which a couple was transformed into the opposite sex to better understand the other partner. It was then adapted into the tradtional Taanttu religion over time, and also adapted into Sidharkuv.

Controversy

While it is claimed by the Taanttu people as being part of their heritage, it was adopted into the wider Bavkir cultural sphere as it was spread through Devotionism. In the modern day, it is considered to be part of every east borosan country's history.
