Battlefoxes mentioned that one of the musicians of the Mongolian folk-rock band Altan Urag uses a morin khuur (horse-head fiddle, which traditionally has a scroll carved to look like a horse’s head and strings of braided horsehair) with, uh, a not very traditional scroll.
The “Our Mongolia” concert was February 8th, at the Cultural Center in Ulaanbaatar. Mongolian musicians including Altan Urag played songs about Mongolia to a sold-out crowd that included several members of parliament. Ijii Mongol was one of the songs Altan Urag played.
