Various Artists - Mongolie : chants et morin khuur (2009)

The morin khuur is the wonderful-looking horse-head fiddle, the national instrument of Mongolia. Most have an equine representation carved atop the neck and two playing strings, traditionally made from horsehair – a stallion’s tail for the thicker ‘male’ string and a mare’s tail for the thinner ‘female’. Here, excellent solos by Chi Bu-Lag are heard alongside ‘long songs’ and overtone singing.
