I didn't say it wasn't authentic. I said I didn't like it. There is a difference. What, aren't I entitled to an opinion now? And, besides, that's what it DOES sound like! For someone who has never heard African throat singing before (which I had not, and I would guess a lot of people here are the same), it is the closest descriptive approximation to the sound I could think of.

And if you think 15 tongue-in-cheek words in a 800+ word review constitutes it being "offensive", I really think you need to re-evaluate the way you judge things.
