The Nomad's Ger

The nomadic people of Mongolia don't stay in one place for long. That's why they live in gers (which American's know by the Russian name, yurt), a home that is fast and easy to assemble and disassemble. Putting up a ger (pronounced gair) is fast and easy, but its best done by an entire family. This ger was moved by the family of Shagdarsuren Herelchuluun, on the east side of Lake Hovsgol, in northern Mongolia, not far from the Russian border.

The sound track of this video is music recorded at the Choijin Lama Temple Museum in Ulaanbator, the Mongolian capital.

For another example of throat singing, please see my other video from Mongolia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQREyg...

Who performed the song?

[Daniel Grossman]

I don't know who performed the song, but I've posted some more throat singing on my video channel, in case you want to listen it and see a picture of the singer.

Great video. Great music. Great portable housing unit.

The music is Mongolian throat music.

Does anyone have any idea where I can find some other posted throat music? Perhaps on someone's video channel? I would really like to listen to some other throat music and see a picture of the singer.

Nice

[Purelyyviintage]

Awesome I think a nomadic life in Mongolia sounds so peaceful and simple. No face paced stressful life. I really would like to experience it....

The music adds a lot to the video, very nice!

Great time lapse video - thank you. What did they put down for the floor? and then slept on?

Traditionally gers aren't anchored, and they do very well in the high winds on the Gobi.
