Mongolian folk music is a rich tradition that reflects the nomadic lifestyle and cultural heritage of the Mongolian people. It often features unique instruments like the morin khuur, a two-stringed horsehead fiddle, and the yatga, a traditional zither. The music typically incorporates throat singing, known as khöömei, which allows singers to produce multiple pitches simultaneously. The themes of Mongolian folk music often revolve around nature, love, and the vast landscapes of the Gobi Desert and steppe. Songs are frequently performed during celebrations, festivals, and rituals, serving to preserve the history and stories of the Mongolian nomadic way of life.
