Despite frequent and constant changes and interesting events within the world music area, we don’t often have the opportunity to meet artists who came from Mongolia, and in their own way spread the national culture,or the culture of certain territories/regions of the mentioned country. One such artist is Batsukh Dorj, whose name is by no means unknown, and who in his own way explores and revitalizes traditional Tuvan music, giving it a new shape and a more changed face.
