Routes Nomades Newsletter - February 2018

Marked by the birth of two discs linked to our projects, "An Anthology of Mongolian Khöömii" as well as "La Silencieuse" of Meïkhâneh, the year 2017 was full of great encounters and beautiful travels. United States, Mongolia, Poland, Switzerland – we had the chance to go through these horizons to talk about the Anthology and more broadly, Mongolian musical culture.
Here is a summary of our 2017 activities:

-A cycle of lectures on Mongolian overtone singing at the Universities of Montclair, Delaware and New York as well as in the Embassy of Mongolia in Washington DC and Mongolia Permanent Mission to the UN in New York.

-A trip to Mongolia to give the Anthology to the participants in 7 provinces, travelling the 2/3 of the country through more than 5500 km of landscapes.

-3 months of assistance in editing the documentary film Journey In Diphonia with the filmmaker Jean François Castell.

-Participation in 2 International exhibitions to disseminate our future projects: the Babel Med Music and the WOMEX.
