Mongolian music, dance, & oral narrative

About this book

"In performance, Mongols evoke three distinct cultural eras of Mongolian society. Many are now engaging publicly in the diverse traditions of Old Mongolia that they practiced in private following the communist revolution of 1921, of that they are reinventing; some are perpetuating the Soviet-style transformations of those traditions introduced prior to 1990; and yet others are trying new performance arts as they revel in musical encounters on the global stage."--BOOK JACKET.
