Planet in Focus 16th Environmental Film Festival & Canada Mongolia Chamber of Commerce present "Mongolian Rhapsody" Directed By Paddy Hayes

Mongolia/Ireland | 2015 | documentary | 39 min  

This poetic Irish film reveals the importance of nature to Mongolian culture and traditional music. Irish fiddler Daire Bracken learns that songs not only speak about nature, but that sounds in the music imitate natural sounds. Mongolian throat singing may well have been created to mimic the sound of wind blowing from the mountains. Daire learns the importance of horses to nomadic culture. And he discovers that the horse headed fiddle is an ode to the significance of the horse in traditional culture. Beautiful music played by the Daire and a throat singer is a highlight of this respectful doc.
