The Chandman­Sum province in Chovd, in the Altai mountain range of Western Mongolia, is the only area in Mongolia where Khoomei (overtone/throat singing) is performed and the technique is passed down generations to generation. Hailing from here is Hosoo Khosbayar, who will perform on Sunday at Banyan Tree’s two-day Ruhaniyat festival. The singer produces two, at times three, sounds as he sings the mystic verses, in this traditional, folk form.
