Tumen-Ekh Folk Song and Dance Ensemble

Tumen Ekh Ensemble of Traditional Cultural Heritage is one of Mongolia's most prominent national song and dance bands. "Tumen Ekh" means "leader or vanguard of all" in Mongolian. In 1989, a collection of renowned artists and pioneers in the area adopted the title of a well-known folk song, "Tumen Ekh," and formed this ensemble.

Since 1989 Tumen Ekh Ensemble traversed the world and performed in more than 60 countries in the world to promote the distinctive, lively and colorful cultural heritage of Mongolia. The company was cordially welcomed in famous places such as Buckingham Palace, The United Nations Headquarters,.... Tumen Ekh's repertoire is continually being expanded. Nonetheless, ensemble members continue to wow audiences with their solo performances and to compete with great success in local and worldwide important contests and festivals.

Mongolian musical instruments include string, wind, and percussion instruments, all of which clearly exhibit distinctive features of nomadic culture. The most popular musical instrument is the Morin khuur (horse head violin), which was designed to mimic horse noises. Throughout history, Mongolians have made music out of metal, stone, bamboo, leather, cow hair, and wood.

Visitors to our nation may enjoy the beauty of our environment, the many terrains of our huge territory, and the distinctive qualities of nomadic life without having to go far by visiting TumenEkh theatre. The group greets the audience with a stunning display of vivid costumes, unique music, and energetic dance performances.
