Khusugtun - Mongol

29.03.2022 - Mongolian folk-music masterclass
BELONG sessions - Rocklab, Luxembourg
Welcome to BELONG world-music masterclasses! In this video, we're thrilled to present "Mongol," a stunning performance by the Mongolian musical group Khusugtun.
In this piece, Khusugtun showcases their mastery of traditional Mongolian music, featuring their signature style of throat singing or "Khöömii." The song is a celebration of the Mongol people and their rich cultural heritage, and Khusugtun's passionate performance brings that history to life.
In addition to their impressive vocal technique, Khusugtun employs an array of traditional Mongolian instruments, including the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), yatga (zither), and tobshuur (two-stringed lute). These instruments add layers of depth and texture to the music, transporting the listener to the vast and beautiful landscapes of Mongolia.
The video was recorded in the intimate setting of a BELONG world-music masterclass, allowing for a close-up look at the rich Mongolian culture, the art of Khöömii, and Khusugtun's incredible musicianship. You'll be able to see the intricate techniques and facial expressions that are essential to the art of Khöömii.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Khusugtun or new to Mongolian music, "Mongol" is an unforgettable performance that's sure to leave you breathless. So sit back, relax, and let the sounds of Khusugtun take you on a journey to the heart of Mongolia.
