haha, did you ever look up Mongolian in urban dictionary? They sure rock.

they sure rocked once. Genghis Khan is my idol. He ravaged the earth and was not afraid of anyone. He was the chosen one of Tengri, his champion. I see him as a blessed man, and the Mongols as another blessed people, as we turkic people.
That song sounds ... ( 7 months ago by banduraplayer)
That song sounds awfully like blue-grass and some of the early English folk songs; just imagine the same thing sung by blue grass singers with fiddle, banjo, etc......even the ending of phrases on the dominant chord...

I was just going to say they sound like Mongolian Hillbillies, smile. I mean they are country folk and this is folk music -- You have to admit that this is far more intricate than some appalachian singing, however -- those hillbillies can play the hell out of the banjo. Put the two together, bring in a digeradoo and you'd be set, smile.

Thank you OctoBox for your reply. By the way, I hope nobody thought I was making fun of them in any way; I think they are great and amazingly professional. I'm still racking my brains to think what song that sounds like to me; Lord Randal perhaps? When they get to the end I hear the words "gallows tree" so I think it's probably an old English or Scottish song. Isn't it annoying when you can't remember a song!!! Happens to me a lot.... :-)

Correct. Mongols ... ( 6 months ago by mrmoofle)
Correct. Mongols are not Turkic, but Tuvans are. One group which knows this are the Mongols. Ghengis Khan recognized the Tuvans as a seperate race. His general, Subotai (sp?) was a Tuvan.
The two songs are ... ( 6 months ago by okpantsparty)
The two songs are quite common mongolian songs with no english words. Mongolian music is uses the pentatonic scale so that's why you're hearing something familiar. It's also folk music which is not usually complicated.

Don't worry. Even though I know about this crash course it would be better if I had a teacher instead since I can't seem to find the time to practise. :( I only know one guy in Sweden who is moderately known for throat singing.
