Besides zhirau, there is another form of throat singing called "Kömeimen än aituw (Көмеймен ән айту)" in Kazakhstan. This technique is similar to throat singing in [[Altai Republic]]. The Kömeimen än aituw is now being revived by famous Kazakh ethno-folk musical bands HasSak and [[Turan ensemble|Turan Ensemble]], after Kazakhs believed that this form of throat singing might have been died out because of Russian conquest or rarely practiced or didn't know them at all due to lack of documentings of this practice.
