Music and Dance of Mongolia
A performance of traditional music by the Tumen Ekh Song and Dance Ensemble at the State Youth and Children's Theatre in Ulaanbaatar. From left: Surnai - ever buree, a folk oboe with a conical body made of wood or horn (ever buree = horn); Shudraga or Shanz, a string instrument, with a sound comparable to that of a banjo); a base, with a horse-head carving; and Yatga or Yatuga, a half-tube zither with a movable bridge.
