Mongolia/Ireland | 2015 | documentary | 39 min
This poetic Irish film reveals the importance of nature to Mongolian culture and traditional music. Irish fiddler Daire Bracken learns that songs not only speak about nature, but that sounds in the music imitate natural sounds. Mongolian throat singing may well have been created to mimic the sound of wind blowing from the mountains. Daire learns the importance of horses to nomadic culture. And he discovers that the horse headed fiddle is an ode to the significance of the horse in traditional culture. Beautiful music played by the Daire and a throat singer is a highlight of this respectful doc.

I want to watch this Mongolian Rhapsody because I can feel that it has a different taste to share to me. The fact that Paddy Hayes is the one to direct it gives me chills because I know for a fact that he is a good director. I was lucky enough to have watched some of the plays and movies he directed, and I have to say that he has mastered it already. I pray nothing but success for Mongolian Rhapsody! I know it's going to be great! Leave a Reply. |
