“Namgar band has just released a new album. This album is a new milestone in the band’s creative work. I think that the album will be presented well at the festival and the band will heavily focus on the new album in their performance,” Denis Maximov, author of the Ethno-Sound show on Tengri FM radio, said.
Namgar band was created in 2001. The band performs traditional Buryatian and Mongilian songs. Namgar Lkhasaranova is the leading singer of the band. She performs along with her husband Yevgeniy Zolotarev. Namgar sings ancient nomadic songs, long songs, balades and many other traditional songs of Buryat and Mongol people. In the Tibet language “namgar” is translated as "white cloud".
