Batubagen

Batubagen is the khoomei overtone vocalist and morin khuur player of Hanggai Band since 2006, which makes him one of the earliest members of the band. Batubagen grew up in Inner Mongolia's Bairin region and became interested in khoomei overtone singing at an early age when he was still involved in sheep farming. Later he furthered his studies with khoomei master Aodusurong and has since been performing with Hanggai Band. Batubagen is the only morin khuur player in the band and is the main vocalist as well who uses the khoomei overtone singing technique. His sturdy timbre is exhibited in his lower register, which forms the unique sound of Hanggai Band.
