Dangaa Khosbayar
Biography
Mongolia, highlands in Central Asia between Siberia and China, is the home of the young musician Dangaa Khosbayar (Chosbayar). His music is of nomadic origins and reflects the close ties Mongolians have to nature. The unique and fascinating oddness in Mongolian music, is the traditional vocal art of throat singing, called "Chöömij". Nasal sounds are mixed with almost gasping bass tunes, combined with whistelinglike overtones all together produced by the vocal chords.
