Tsagaan-Uvgun Bumangerel, head of the province’s department of education, culture and art said that under the auspices of the Mongolian Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports, their province is working to organize traditional folk art festival called ‘The Sun Over the Placid World’ at an open-air theater in Ikh Gazriin Chuluu, which is a granite rock mountain range in Gurvansaikhan district of the province.
The festival will be attended by a total of 3,000 traditional long song singers and players of the morin khurr which is also known as the horse-headed fiddle which is a traditional bowed stringed instrument.
About 240 km from the capital city of Ulan Bator, the Dundgovi is located and the province is nicknamed as the ‘land of songs and music’. This is due to the fact that many famous Mongolian singers come from the province.
