Altan Urag (Mongolian: Алтан Ураг, Golden Lineage) is a Mongolian folk rock. Formed in 2002, the band's musical style combines traditional Mongolian and contemporary influences.
The members of the band have all been trained in classical Mongolian music, and typically perform with the morin khuur (horse head fiddle), ikh khuur (grand horse head fiddle), bishguur (traditional horn) and yoochin (a type of hammered dulcimer), as well as incorporating khöömii (throat singing) and long song into the vocals.[1]
Their music was featured prominently in the 2006 film Khadak and in the 2007 movie Mongol.[2]
