About 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) and Khuumii (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.

  1. Unbelievably beautiful and haunting music.

    Please tell me where I may be able to purchase Bukhu’s CD. I have been unable to find a link on this web-site or on Amazon.

    I would be very grateful.

    Peace.

  2. Hi Buku,

    I’m excited to see your playing at the Illawarra Folk festival. I met you at the Cafe Carnivale gig in early November. I was the conga player playing with the Iranian group ‘Madakto’ that played after you and Nayika Group.

    I hope we can catch up at the festival and maybe even have a jam. If you are around you are welcome to join my band the Beatmeisters for a song or too also.

    Cheers and see you in January.
    Matt
