Altan Urag (Mongolian: Алтан Ураг, "Golden Lineage") is a Mongolian folk rock band. Formed in 2002, the band's musical style combines traditional Mongolian and contemporary influences. They're considered to be the pioneers of mongolian folk-rock.[1][2]

Their music has featured in the 2006 film Khadak,[3] the 2007 film Mongol[4] and the Netflix television series Marco Polo.[5]

The members of the band have all been trained in classical Mongolian music. Their performances typically include the morin khuur (horse head fiddle), ikh khuur (grand horse head fiddle), bishguur (traditional horn) and yoochin (a type of hammered dulcimer), khöömii (throat singing) and long song vocals.[6]The band's horsehead fiddles were custom made for the band, and the heads were made to resemble goats, as the band's members believe that the goat is the symbolic "mother of rock music".[3]

Acccording to Erdenebat Bataar, the band's leader, their music used in the scene of Kadak highlighted "social problems facing Mongolians today", as it was set apart from the music used in the rest of the film, emphasizing the issues as distinctively Mongolian.[3]

Contrasting to the music in Mongol, which was produced to have wider commercial appeal, was criticized for using various non-Mongolian elements. In an interview, P. Oyunbileg pointed out that Mongolians weren't happy with how they were portrayed in the film, and Erdenebat pointed out that Mongolians object to the inaccuracies of international portrayals.[3]

The group has toured abroad, including the US.[7]
