Title – Khoomi (Throat Singing)
Date – August 2002
Location - Khovsgol – Mongolia
Khoomi (Traditional Throat Singing) is unique to Mongolia, it is an exceptionally strange musical skill. As part of a cultural show including contortionists, dancers and acting skits, it is certainly worth searching out. A great opportunity to spend a night in Ulaan Baatar absorbing a little traditional flavour of the country.
Throughout trips to any part of the world the difference between your own culture and that of the country you are visiting can be stark. Beyond The Blue believes in straight talking and presenting our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop in a manner that is clear and straight forward. Our messages are designed to be easy to learn and easy to remember, so that the short time frame we have to instruct, is as productive as possible.
Beyond The Blue maintains a particular interest in Mongolia. The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation through their operations in Mongolia, work with street kids and children from poor families, to offer support and assistance in escaping the cycle of poverty. The invaluable work the Foundation carries out, helps provide opportunities to the children of this amazing country.
Some of the Street Kids of Ulaan Baatar are forced to live in the city’s sewer system, sleeping on top of the hot water pipes to stay warm and to stay alive. Temperature in the city regularly drops below -35C in the winter months and this is the only way they can survive. For more information we urge you to visit The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation web site at www.CNCF.org
