A modern and polyphonic exploration of the traditional overtone singing from Mongolia. Khoomii and throat singing in polyphony: a treasure for the lovers of Mongolian overtone singing! After a first self-producted album in 2009 and a participation in the double-disc An Anthology of Mongolian Khoomii in 2017, Khusugtun releases Jangar, its second opus. Since over 10 years, it is one of the most celebrated khoomii and throat singing groups from Mongolia. The peculiarity of this sextet lies in the use of vocal polyphony, a recent exploration in the Mongolian throat singing tradition. Their repertoire, almost entirely dedicated to khoomii (throat singing), is made up of traditional forms, such as praise songs (magtaal), short songs (bogino duu), or compositions inspired by the Mongolian music tradition.
