Mongolia's music cultures, both in rural and urban areas, have a rich history rooted in centuries-old pastoralist practices that were shaped by political movements in the 20th century. Mongolian Sound Worlds delves into the unique sonic characteristics, diverse genres, social and spatial performances, and sounding objects that define new forms of Mongolian music. These forms reflect the nation's past while also embracing a globalized future.
Through extensive fieldwork across the Inner Asian region, the contributors provide insights into Mongolia's genres and musical landscapes. They explore instruments such as the morin khuur, tovshuur, and Kazakh dombyra, as well as the vibrant fusion band culture and urban popular music. Their research encompasses a wide range of topics, including the music of nomadic herders, ethnic boundaries, heritage-making, ideological influences, nationalism, and global circulation.
Mongolian Sound Worlds combines expert scholarship with firsthand experiences to offer a comprehensive and dynamic portrayal of Mongolia's musical culture. The contributions of the contributors, who are esteemed scholars and musicians, shed light on a diverse and ever-changing musical landscape.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars, musicians, and anyone interested in exploring the rich tapestry of Mongolian music and its cultural significance. It provides a deep understanding of the historical, social, and cultural factors that shape Mongolian music and offers a glimpse into its potential for the future.
