Hanggai has achieved a cult following in China with its new interpretations of traditional Mongolian songs. Composed of young musicians from Beijing and the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, the group is at the forefront of a modern Mongolian folk revival in the heart of Beijing. Hanggai mixes khoomei (throat singing), morin khuur (horsehair fiddle)
and tobshuur (2-stringed lute) with rock instruments, drawing on a repertoire that has all
but disappeared during China's recent turbulent past. NY debut.
