Amazing! As an avid lover (and amateur connoisseur, I suppose, LOL) of puirt-à-beul, Ms. MacInnes does quite amazingly.

Mouth music, is that like singing? just curious.

[@mairianncullen8753]

It's dance music without instruments. It was a tradition in the Western Isles. It's worth looking in to it - it is a fascinating art, full of humour, satire etc.

[@mairianncullen8753]

The Campbells of Greepe, also Mary Ann Kennedy, have recorded wonderful examples handed down in their family

[@NiennaFan1]

I think it’s also defined as singing songs that don’t make sense or are random- the idea is they sound pretty and it doesn’t matter the meaning of the words being sung

[@nozecone]

It's singing that uses meaningless syllables and/or nonsense (mostly) lyrics to deliver a tune composed for an instrument rather than as a song melody. The point is to get the tune across.
