In this sample? Not at all. It's more straightforward then any singing with lyrics. In this sample he is singing the mountain, low pitch equals higher mountain and high pitch equals lower mountain. From left to right. The mountain is seen as a character or figure, where the beginning and end of the song are the sides of the figure. Listening to this song you can get an experience of what it's like standing in Tuva and looking at the Altai mountains.

It's an onomatopetic Tuvan word, describing the rumbling sound of the earth or the croaking of a black crow. See Caroline Peggs book "Mongolian Music, Dance, and Oral Narrative" for a reference to that. (It's Karkiraa in Mongolian)

it seems like there's some deep meaning in their mysterious singing.
