One of the few videos showing the whole band: Gala, first singer, morin khuur; Odko on drums; Ono on "big drums"; Jaya, second voice (he also does wind instruments as required, and plays a mean jaw-harp) ; Enkush shredding on morin khuur, and gravely voice; Temka on the three string tovshuur; Jamba on guitar; and Davaa on bass. They all provide vocals as needed, but Gala, Jaya, and Enkush are the main singers. Three or two string "horse fiddles" are common in many central Asian cultures. Hu! Hu! Hu!
Jaya is actually such musician. He play lot more than Jaw harp and Tsuur. He also play Tovshuur (both 2 and 3 string versions), piano, guitar. Also his normal flute with circular breathing technology registred at Unesco, thats like constant blowing, 3-4 minutes without breathing.

They did Glastenberry 2023 to me the best artist and highlight of that weekend
They are currently opening for Maiden on tour.
I had tickets, but had cancel due being sick. Bummed I didn’t get see them.
Yeah good guess man! The strings on the horsehead fiddle ARE made of horsetail hair and coated with cedar wood resin and been around about 1000 years
Thanks for the info!
