Brief Summary

To emit voluntarily sounds mastered during the childbirth is a practice found in certain cultures of country of Africa or Muslim or gypsy traditions. Today, because of the medical coverage and because of the childbirth in a hospital environment, this tradition is not anymore transmitted.
