Question 1

How have the sound,setting,and significance of khoomii changed in the past few decades?

Accepted Answer

The sound, setting, and significance of khoomii, also known as throat singing, have undergone significant changes in the past few decades.

In terms of sound, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional Mongolian music, including khoomii, leading to a renewed focus on preserving and promoting this unique vocal technique. This has resulted in a greater diversity of styles and approaches to khoomii, with artists experimenting with new sounds and incorporating modern influences while still honoring the traditional roots of the art form.

The setting in which khoomii is performed has also evolved, with an increasing number of concerts, festivals, and cultural events showcasing this ancient practice to a wider audience. Additionally, the internet and social media have provided a platform for khoomii artists to reach global audiences, further expanding the setting in which this art form is experienced.

The significance of khoomii has also grown in recent years, as it has become a symbol of Mongolian cultural identity and a source of national pride. Efforts to preserve and promote khoomii have been supported by the Mongolian government and cultural institutions, leading to its inclusion in UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This recognition has elevated the significance of khoomii both within Mongolia and on the world stage, ensuring its continued relevance and vitality for future generations.
