Sorry off topic but - !?
Suddenly found something curious when looking into Venezuela.

Is this how the Orinoco river Natives chant when they go into a trance or ‘shamanize’ or is it just the Piaroans? And/or is it just this one chant?

…. Because that sounds oddly familiar to me.

Compare it with a kind of compilation of sounds – during shamanic trances from Siberia:

(^ From 1:43 to 2:20 singing style - I trust is this:).

If you chant the Longfellow's “The Song of Hiawatha” poem with both of them – you might see what I mean (?)
Or am I just imagining this – “hearing” things – projecting the similarity?!
Maybe it is just a coincidence, but nevertheless a curious one. Or have you stolen our songs! (Just kidding ).
