Music is an integral part of Mongolian culture. Among the unique contributions of
Mongolia to the world's musical culture are the
long songs, one of the greatest features of the Mongolian music,
overtone singing and
morin khuur, the horse-headed fiddle. The
music of Mongolia is also rich with varieties related to the various ethnic groups of the country:
Oirats, Hotogoid,
Tuvans, Darhad,
Buryats,
Tsaatan,
Dariganga, Uzemchins, Barga,
Kazakhs and Khalha.
Besides the traditional music,
Western classical music and
ballet flourished during the
MPR. Among the most popular forms of modern music in Mongolia are Western
pop and
rock genres and the mass songs, which are written by modern authors in a form of
folk songs.
The Mongolians are renowned for their love for music and singing. Any celebrations by the Mongolians always turn into a celebration of singing.
