Mongolians love to sing. Any occasion is good for a little song:
A sweet Tsaatan girl
A Kazakh boy with a dombra

It's part of culture, which is really beautiful. Especially the videos of young child musician are very nice. This shows really everyone sings. Everyone and everywhere. They sing about everything, too.
In Holland I do not know one single song! I can only sing happy birthday in dutch I think. Isn't that sad? We don't have much culture and tradition here. Not even songs about culture... All dissapeared.
What a wonderful blog! I am really enjoying all the different aspects of Mongolia that you illustrate, and, lf coure, the music is BEAUTIFUL! I am very interested in learning some of the traditional songs that I hear people out in the countryside always singing . Do you have any links to those types of songs other than the Casual Singing page?
Thank you , Julie http://mongolianmusic.blogspot.com/2011/08/singing-in-ger.html
