Altan Urag!

Have you seen the movie "Mongol"? Then you have already heard music by Altan Urag, who wrote and performed some of the most suggestive parts of the soundtrack. Altan Urag combine traditional Mongolian music, played on traditional instruments, and throat singing with modern style in a way that I find absolutely fascinating.

I happened to hear that they are performing in UB at present, but it wasn't easy to find out when & where. Finally Zulaa called someone who knew, so yesterday I could listen to them in the Mongolians Pub! Great!!

To have a taste of what their music is like, you can check out this video clip (this was one of the songs they played yesterday): Altan Urag: Hoh Tolboton.
