The costumes are interesting, some aspects remind me to Tibetian and Indonesian costumes.

Her voice is beautiful. In some older Chinese/Hong Kong movies the melodies/singer’s voices were similar. Somehow in modern Chinese dramas they sing different.

I discovered a Chinese drama recently called The Legend of Kublai Khan. It was aired in 2013, but sadly, Viki doesn’t seem to have it. According to the synopsis, the story spans 70 years and leads up to the founding of the Yuan dynasty. Here is a picture of the cover:

I also discovered a film called Mongol:The Rise of Genghis Khan directed and written by Russians using the Mandarin and Mongolian languages. It was an Oscar nominee in addition to winning other awards. It’s rated R for violence, so that might be something to consider before watching.

I would like to find a Mongolian film or drama set in modern days. I wish Viki would expand their horizons and expose parts of other Asian cultures to the world :slight_smile:

The voice of priarie life living, sounds like many a western trail singing, done by native indians, cowgirls, and cowboys traveling those long lone roads.

I saw that beloved musical instrument, so poignant in many a Korean historical dramas.

This is a Chinese movie directed by a French director that takes place in Inner Mongolia. I haven’t seen it yet, but I would love to! Sadly, Viki doesn’t have it.

ooh, you perfectly described the images I was having in my mind while listening to this music!

I thought of this young boy singing about grasslands and his mother when you wrote of prairie life. (song starts at 1:46)

Here’s another video with just the song, no applause interrupting his beautiful voice.

I saw the MONGOL movie many years ago, I believe the music was an authentic Mongol music and the group was invited somewhere to perform. I was impressed by the movie! Musik instruments and singing know no border in creativity, this video is made quite interesting:


Have you ever listened to throat singing I discovered it some time ago and think it’s fascinating, there are many varieties of it:

He immediately impressed the judges, and audience, his bearing is definitely not foolishly childish. The less you get of something, the appeal becomes more intriguing. I could listen to him tell more with his song, and not be bored.

There is a song that says, “no man is an island, no man stands alone”

People must communicate in some way, singing freely on the grasslands, as it was/is on the priarie is definitely a way to say hello (◕‿◕)

:smile::smile::smile: Unfortunately this type of singing is used in cinema, as forebodings, and of an upcoming scary happenings. So my association with it is negative. I didn’t finish the first video, but the second video showed a variety in shorter segments. The lighter type of singing is more intriguing :smile:

Hi!! Thanks for remembering me!! How have you been?
Yeah, I haven’t been on as often since I was busy with school work. Now that my homework load has lightened, I’ve started watching dramas again. However, I’ve been watching older dramas, nothing too new.
