Founded in 1991, Egschiglen has become synonymous with the rich cultural heritage and unique musical traditions of Mongolia. The ensemble, whose name translates to "Beautiful Melody," has dedicated itself to not only preserving the traditional sounds of their homeland but also to introducing these sounds to a global audience. Their music beautifully amalgamates the profound throat singing for which Mongolia is renowned, with the delicate strings of traditional instruments such as the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) and the tovshuur (lute), creating an enchanting and deeply resonant sound that transcends linguistic barriers.
Egschiglen's discography, including acclaimed albums such as "Gereg," "Zazal," "Gobi," and "Traditionelle Mongolische Lieder," showcases their versatility and profound mastery over their craft. Each album serves as a sonic journey through Mongolia's vast landscapes, echoing the nomadic spirit of its people, their legends, and their deep connection to nature. Through their commitment to authenticity and innovation, Egschiglen has not only preserved the ancient sounds of Mongolia but has also carved out a unique niche for these sounds in the contemporary world music scene. Their music invites listeners into a transcendent experience, bridging the past and the present, and introducing the soul of Mongolia to the hearts of people around the globe.
