Urna Chahar-Tugchi was born into a family of livestock farmers in the grasslands of the Ordos district in the Southwest of Inner Mongolia.
Being raised among horses and sheep and surrounded by head-high grass and sand dunes, Urna was imbued with a feeling of the endless expanse of the steppe.
Urna is backed by an ensemble, many from other cultures, perform on various instruments and sensitively contribute their own musical language to this inspired music.
Urna Chahar-Tugchi was born into a family of livestock farmers in the grasslands of the Ordos district in the Southwest region of Inner Mongolia.
Urna is gifted with the ability to genuinely communicate with her listeners through her music, as she transcends all linguistic and cultural barriers with her dynamic, soaring voice.
Many of Urna’s songs evoke the immense grasslands of Mongolia and tell of the Mongolian ways of life, and her performances are unforgettable to those who witness or participate in her music.
Gavin Phipps, Urna: the songstress of the Mongolian steppes(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Born into a family of farmers in the Ordos region of Southwest Inner Mongolia, Urna and her hauntingly atmospheric vocal prowess have traveled the world for almost a decade, enchanting audiences with her repertoire of both traditional and contemporary Mongolian tunes.
Urna’s solo recording career began in the mid-1990s after she was picked up by German label, KlangRaume.
Assisting Urna in filling the Taipei venue with a heap of Mongolian color and sound will be her international backing group of Indian national, Ramesh Shotham on percussion, Hungarian Zoltan Lantos on violin and Germany’s Maria Reiter on accordion and zither.
Mongolian siner Urna is a case in point; her recording is full of clear vocals, unusual instrumentation and a feeling of odd balance through dissonant yet harmonic sounds, in a combination that has echoes in the work of many female avant-garde singers like Savvina Yannatou.
Urna's voice has a simple, regal beauty and inner peace.
The three musicians create a background on which her voice glides and with which it interacts, with references to the Indian classical tradition or the music of the qawwali, jazz experimentation and at the closing piece, pure Hungarian violin ecstasy.
I met Urna Chahar-Tugchi and her german husband Robert Zollitsch at the Jazzfestival 94 in Beijing.
Now they live in Berlin, so we have a chance to enjoy her concerts more often.
As this page is a surprise and present to Urna, I didn't ask her before, but I think, she will agree with the publication of this page.
