On that note, now listening to Huun-Huur-Tu - Chyraa Khoor:

Lovely piece!

Here, something heartwarming:

Ahh, that sweet balalaika!

No didgeridoo there, that's done completely vocally through mongolian throat singing styles, Khoomei and Kargyraa. (The bit at the end in particular is some of the finest Khoomei I laid my ears on)

And yes, they're mongolian. Fairly new band, do modernized folk songs, rock and some covers. They received the order of Chinggis Khaan, the highest award a civilian may receive in Mongolia, for promoting their culture.

I hope to soon be able to replicate some of their songs. Been on a mongolian course for a couple months now and am working on the throat singing.

No one can say that you lack originality. How did you start following them?

They cropped up on their own as I've been bumbling about for mongol folk music and culture a while back.
Started fully delving into the whole topic once I was done with Uni. Motive is blood related, but I needed time.

Can't say you look Mongolian.
