Zulsar - Homeland (Mongolian khoomii)

Rest in peace, Zulsar.

One of my favourite songs from his CD "Blue Sky", is this song called "Homeland" ("Nutag").

He was one of the finest throat singers from Mongolia.

About Zulsar:
Zulsar Serkhin is one of Mongolia's most gifted and powerful Khoomi singers of his generation. As a young boy growing up in Mongolia Zulsar became fascinated with the sound of Khoomi music when he heard his uncle perform some Khoomi songs. This pivotal experience led Zulsar to teach himself the technique of Khoomi singing by recreating the Khoomi sounds he had heard and he developed other Khoomi tones while walking in the Mongolian countryside listening to the sounds of nature. Zulsar joined the Mongolian State Folk and Dance Ensemble as a young dancer where he met established Khoomi singers from whom he learnt more Khoomi techniques and developed some of his own. Eventually Zulsar taught himself almost three hundred songs and became a popular singer whose natural abilities helped enliven the ancient Khoomi song tradition in Mongolia. Over the years Zulsar traveled with the Mongolian State Folk and Dance Ensemble to Japan and Europe and in 2001 he performed in the U.S. for the first time for the Festival of Mongolia's celebration of Mongolian traditional culture in New York.

Би үхэж... намайг хүмүүс мартахад Сүүдрээрээ гэрэл цуулж Булшин дээр минь нэг ирээрэй Сүнс минь чамайг танина. Мартсан бүхний сүүлд Мартаагvй үлдсэн чамд Хөмөрч унасан манан баярлана Хөлд чинь торсон чулуу баярлана Хагацалд сүүмийсэн өвс Өвдөн байж баярлана Хажууд сөхөрсөн уулс Өндийн байж баярлана Хайртай байж дээ үнэн байж гэж Хамгийн сүүлчийн удаа яс минь цугларч хашгирна
