KHUSUGTUN
We are a group of Mongolian folk musicians with the objective of bringing Traditional Mongolian music to the world. We are inspired by our nomadic ancestry and by our historic civilization. In addition to the traditional instruments of our group, we also incorporate the breath taking throat singing of our forefathers. We hope you can feel the passion and pride in our music as strongly as we do.
We are KHUSUGTUN….conveyors of the Mongolian nomadic culture.
