style entertainment I hope this helps<BR>><BR>> Mongolian throat singing is the traditional technique, known locally as<BR>> Khoomi. Sounds are produced from very deep in the throat creating an odd yet<BR>> melodic form of song.<BR>> Folk songs always use figurative description to describe things. For<BR>> example, at the beginning of an ancient folk song named Two Black Horses of<BR>> Genghis Khan, the words are: "They're like two pearls; they're like two<BR>> golden flowers; they're like two falling stars -- and they are the two<BR>> horses of Genghis Khan. Their mane is like fire; their heads are like two<BR>> crescents; they are graceful like deer; and their tails are like rainbows."<BR>> The horse head fiddle (morin khuur), supposedly sounds like a wild horse<BR>> neighing. Played with a bow, the fiddle has two strings. The headstock is<BR>> intricately carved into the head of a horse.<BR>> The yatga is a
traditional Mongolian instrument, they are commonly found<BR>> with 21 strings, however other variants are also popular. The body is a long<BR>> wooden box angled downwards at one end and laid across the knees. The<BR>> strings are plucked with the fingernails of the right hand. The left hand is<BR>> used to vary the notes produced by the strings.<BR>> The most famous dance are the Jinai dance (milking dance), the Caihong dance<BR>> (rainbow dance), the Zhongwan dance (bowl dance), the Kuaizi dance<BR>> (chopsticks dance), and the Andai dance.<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Namron mailing list<BR>> <A href="mailto:Namron@lists.ansteorra.org" ymailto="mailto:Namron@lists.ansteorra.org">Namron@lists.ansteorra.org</A><BR>> <A href="http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/namron-ansteorra.org"
