Munkh Tenger Ger Camp

Ger (not pronounced like grr, but more like gehir in a single syllable) is also known as a yurt. These are round traditional housing in this part of the world, well adapted to the harsh climate. The first pic is of the camp from the balcony of the lodge where meal were served. Next is the first NS de of the ger. Third is a Mongolian Throat Singer followed by traditional dancers. There was an event that day (I never did understand what it was), and I was blessed to experience it.
Throat singing is a technique I don't understand, but somehow the singer can produce two distinctive pitches from one voice box. It is extraordinary.Baca lagi
