Music cultures today in rural and urban Mongolia and Inner Mongolia
emerge from centuries-old pastoralist practices that were reshaped
by political movements in the twentieth century. Mongolian Sound
Worlds investigates the unique sonic elements, fluid genres, social
and spatial performativity, and sounding objects behind new forms
of Mongolian music--forms that reflect the nation's past while
looking towards its globalized future. Drawing on fieldwork in
locations across the Inner Asian region, the contributors report on
Mongolia's genres and musical landscapes; instruments like the
morin khuur, tovshuur, and Kazakh dombyra; combined fusion band
culture; and urban popular music. Their broad range of concerns
include nomadic herders' music and instrument building, ethnic
boundaries, heritage-making, ideological influences, nationalism,
and global circulation. A merger of expert scholarship and
eyewitness experience, Mongolian Sound Worlds illuminates a diverse
and ever-changing musical culture. Contributors: Bayarsaikhan
Badamsuren, Otgonbaayar Chuulunbaatar, Andrew Colwell, Johanni
Curtet, Charlotte D'Evelyn, Tamir Hargana, Peter K. Marsh, K.
Oktyabr, Rebekah Plueckhahn, Jennifer C. Post, D. Tserendavaa, and
