One of the very first documentaries that I posted on this blog last year was The Story of the Weeping Camel, a truly memorable film from Mongolia about nomadic shepherds in the Gobi desert trying to save the life of a rare white Bactrian camel calf after it was rejected by its mother.
Recently I came across this most unusual music video of the soundtrack music from the film. Imagine a full-scale music video of traditional Mongolian folk artists, beautifully photographed and edited, and that is somewhere near what we have here. The music, called Gobi, is by Ch. Sangidorj and arranged by Boerte and played by a team of traditional musicians, cut together with footage from the film.
if this video is no longer available please leave a comment so I can update the page

Hello,
do you know how is called the instrument that the woman on the picture is playing ? Is it a Yatga ?
Thanks,
L.D.
It does appear to be so, see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatga
