Long Song: A Special Art Form in Mongolia

Long song is a type of music that's been performed for more than a thousand years by nomadic people in Mongolia. It's traditionally been sung by men on horseback as they rode for hours across the country side. Until recently, there were some songs that were forbidden for women to sing. But times are changing and perceptions are changing. Long song is one of our most distinctive and special art forms. That's why it's been chosen to show off our country at this event.
