Altaï Khangaï - Ongod [EAC FLAC] torrent

Amongst today’s Mongolian music groups, Altai Khangai stands out in that it remains very attached to a specific region of Western Mongolia: the Altai and Khangai Mountains, where throat singing was established long before it expanded to other regions of the republic. Formed in 1995, the band notably comprises Ganzorig Nergui, Ganbold Muukhai and the lady musician Garavkhuu Badmaabazar. They are well aware that tradition is a living thing not to be confused with dead-still folklore, and this is clearly shown by Ganzorig Nergui’s compositions featured on this album. They can just as well interpret ancient forms that were forbidden during socialist times, such as a magtaal praise song for a Buddhist deity, or innovate and use the tovshuur lute to interpret a tatlaga usually played on the morin khuur fiddle.
