BUKHU
Bukhchuluun
Ganburged (Bukhu) is a master student of the Music and Dance Conservatory of
Ulaanbaatar. Bukhu performs the folk musics of Mongolia, while exploring the
aural dimensions of sounds generated by traditional instruments and harmonic
overtone vocal techniques. His music brings a contemporary take on the tradition
of Mongolian bards of the middle ages and those of ancient times, acting as a
national memory bank by working mythologies, historic figures and events into
traditional verse form.
A
cultural ambassador of his country. Bukhu combines virtuosic Morin Khurr (Horse
Head Fiddle) andKhuumii (Harmonic
Overtone Throat Singing) skills to transmit the harmony of Mongolian Shamanic
culture through time and space. He embodies the spirit of reinterpreted
narratives through verse which is key to the enchanting powers of folk
traditions, combined with influences from contemporary music woven into the
fabric of these arrangements.
An
accomplished composer of contemporary music in his own right, Bukhu’s songs
incorporate elements of genres as diverse as Overtone Throat Singing, Harmonic
Chant, Folk, Classical, Blues, Metal and more recently Electronic and Hip-Hop.
He has played for audiences in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark,
Czech, Luxemburg, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Austria and Australia, with the Morin
Khuur Ensemble, Khangal Quartet and Domog folk band.

The Roaring Forties
about a bitt (nautical joke)
The Roaring Forties have
three CDs to their credit, Hazard,
Hardship and Damned Little Pay - a 23 track recording of traditional sea
songs and shanties, Shore
Leave which has 17 tracks (reflecting a brief departure from the subject of
the sea) ranging from the bitter-sweet Lady of Autumn to the sombre Shallow
Brown; from pagan ritual in The Magpie to political satire, They're Taking it
Away; from the industrial weight of Cleveland Steel to the whimsical Waltzing
With Bears. Their latest album, Life
of Brine is a collection of 23 sea shanties - 11 of which are Australian or
have an Australian connection.
The Forties have performed
frequently at the Australian National Maritime
Museum, the National Folk Festival,
Majors Creek Music Festival, the Loaded
Dog Folk Club; and have also appeared at Wollombi, Woodford,
Port Fairy, Jamberoo
Folk Festivals, the Melbourne Acappella Festival and elsewhere.
