About the singing of the Flamenco style of Spain, it's to simulate cries of woe, meant to be very sad sounding, and thus loud at times. Ah..ouh..uw..ouiee...is like a cry of pain. (I speculate that when the Islamic Moors invaded Spain back in 700 A.D., some of the Islamic music culture mixed with some of the old music singing styles of ancient Spain. And that may have been some of Flamenco's early influence. One can hear a similar floating of vowels with singing styles of the middleast).
