A singing mountaineer, northern Albania. The mountain song is a strange monotonous chant. The ears are pressed and held in the manner shown, apparently to enable the singer to hear himself more accurately and to place his voice in the conventional high falsetto register that makes the song a sort of rhythmetical shriek. He also closes his eyes and utterly gives himself up to this voice production
