Altai KhairKhan

Altai KhairKhan

Altai Khairkhan (Mongolian: Алтай Хайрхан) is an overtone singing ensemble from Mongolia founded in 2002 by Childeegiin Palamjav, Sambuugiin Pürevjav and Ejeegiin Toivgoo.

The members are from Uvs aimag, situated near the Altai Mountains, one of the main mountain ranges in West Mongolia. "Khairkhan" means to worship. Hence, "Altai Khairkhan" can be translated as "the worshipped Altai mountains". The band's repertoire comprises mainly of Mongolian traditional songs. The names of the original authors have been lost, but their poetry and melodies are famous throughout the country and are sung by all. These songs live on from generation to generation.

The band performs either songs of their own composition or Mongolian traditional songs using morin khuur, topshur and a range of overtone singing techniques called Khöömii (Mongolian: Хөөмий).
