x is a form of singing which involves repeated and rapid changes of pitch between the low-pitch chest register (or "chest voice") and the high-pitch head register or falsetto. The English word x is derived from the German word x, meaning "to utter the syllable jo".
This vocal technique is used in many cultures worldwide. Recent scientific research concerning yodeling and non-Western cultures suggests that music and speech may have evolved from a common prosodic precursor.
Jimmie Rodgers and the Oesch Family are the most common x-ers. The former's "waiting for a train" is a classic even today.
Which form of singing x, which was often imbibed into kishore kumar's songs ?
