But that's mostly only in Canada and Greenland, in Alaska and Siberia it's still commonly used. "Inuit" is a bit safer but not all "Eskimos" are Inuit, so it's kind of complicated. That song didn't sound all that unusual to me, but I've been hearing Inuit Throat singing since I was kid. Tagaq is an awesome artist though.
