The Khatan Ekh National Song & Dance Group

A performance of traditional music and dance will be one of the highlights of your visit to Mongolia and should not be missed. You'll see outstanding examples of the unique Mongolian throat-singing, known as khöömii; full-scale orchestral renditions of new and old Mongolian music; contortionists guaranteed to make your eyes water; traditional and modern dancing; and recitals featuring the unique horse-head violin, the morin khuur.

The Khatan Ekh National Song & Dance Group at Discovery Mongolia Information Centre is similar to The Tumen Ekh Song & Dance Ensemble at the State Youth & Children's Theatre, which is the most popular cultural show in town, featuring traditional singers, dancers and contortionists.
