==Europe==
===Sardinia===
{{Main|Cantu a tenore}}
On the island of [[Sardinia]] ([[Italy]]), especially in the subregion of [[Barbagia]], one of the two different styles of polyphonic singing is marked by the use of throat singing. This kind of choir is called "singing [[Tenores|''a tenore'']]". The other style, known as ''cuncordu'', does not use throat singing. Cantu a Tenore is practiced by groups of four male singers, each of whom has a distinct role; the '' 'oche '' or ''boche'' (pronounced {{IPA|/oke/}} or {{IPA|/boke/}}, "voice") is the solo voice, while the '' mesu 'oche '' or ''mesu boche'' ("half voice"), ''contra'' ("against"), and ''bassu'' ("bass") – listed in descending pitch order – form a [[Choir|chorus]] (another meaning of ''tenore''). ''Boche'' and ''mesu boche'' sing in a regular voice, whereas ''contra'' and ''bassu'' sings with the use of the false vocal folds, just like the Tuvan Khoomei and Kargyraa techniques. In 2005, [[Unesco]] classed the ''cantu a tenore'' as an intangible world heritage.<ref>Bandinu 2006.</ref> The most well known groups who perform the singing a Tenore are from Bitti, Orosei, Oniferi, and Neoneli. Each town has usually more than one group, and their name is based on a specific place, or monument, and then their hometown: for example:  Tenore Su Remediu(place) de Orosei(Town).

===Northern Europe===
The [[Sami people]] of the northern parts of [[Sweden]], [[Norway]], [[Finland]], and the [[Kola Peninsula]] in [[Russia]] have a singing genre called [[yoik]].  While overtone techniques are not a defining feature of yoik, individuals sometimes utilize overtones in the production of yoik.

===Bashkortostan===
The [[Bashkirs]] of [[Bashkortostan]], Russia have a style of overtone singing called ''özläü'' (sometimes spelled ''uzlyau''; [[Bashkir language|Bashkort]] '''Өзләү'''), which has nearly died out. In addition, Bashkorts also sing uzlyau while playing the [[Kurai (flute)|kurai]] flute, a national instrument. This technique of vocalizing into a [[flute]] can also be found in [[folk music]] as far west as the [[Balkans]] and [[Hungary]].

===Andalusia===
In Flamenco's [[Cante Jondo]] singers often include overtonal colour at the end of phrases. Perhaps originating as a way of facilitating sustain, and then becoming an appreciated ornamentation in its own right. There are many examples but [[Carmen Linares]] and [[Duquende]] often incorporate overtones. {{Citation needed|date=February 2024|reason=Please cite a use of polyphonic singing in a Canto Jondo.}}
