The disc contains 38 examples of folk and ritual songs by herders from different ethnic groups in remote areas of Mongolia, excerpted to provide a wider range of examples. Pegg (social anthropology and music, U. of Cambridge) cites them in approximate order as she discusses performing ethnicity, history, and place; embodying spiritual landscapes; creating sociality, time, and space; and transforming political identities.
