One of Mongolia’s foremost groups fuse their cultural heritage (shamanic, lamaistic, epic chants, etc) with more modern instrumental trends. "Zazal" (a protective rite practised when a family member leaves on a journey) features two superb deep 'harhiraa' or 'khoomii' vocalists (throat-singers), traditional horse-head fiddles, 'yoochins' (dulcimers), 'ih khuur (bass) and 'tobshuurs' (2-string lutes), as well as other beautiful, soaring vocals and strange, haunting, inventive accompaniments.
