A group of five musicians from the country where endless steppes were ruled by Genghis Khan hundreds of years ago have come together to create a totally new kind of music —
an extraordinary mixture of the vocal art of Mongolian herdsmen and traditional Western jazz.

Although Borte bills itself as "modern Mongolian music," the band plays traditional
instruments, including the horse-headed fiddle, and two of the musicians perform overtone, or throat singing, something that is widely associated with Mongolia, and also the Republic of Tuva, which is adjacent to it. In overtone singing, up to three notes can be sung simultaneously. —Courtesy Calabash Music
