Routes Nomades
Exhibitors
Information
It's been 15 years since Routes Nomades has been developing musical and
heritage projects around khöömii (Mongolian overtone singing).
Started our adventure on the paths of Mongolia, from Ulaanbaatar to the
High Altai, we have explored different musical horizons on the way since
2006; until the edition of the first Anthology of Mongolian Khöömii
(2017), through the elaboration of the nomination file of the Mongolian
Traditional Art of Khöömii on the Representative List of Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity, UNESCO (inscribed in 2010).
Inviting Mongolian artists every year since 2006, we organized more than
a hundred concerts, over fifty workshops of overtone singing and
produced 4 CDs with Buda Musique (Music from the World Collection) and
Pan Records (Ethnic Series Collection) labels. With all these
adventures, a French filmmaker Jean-François Castell made the
documentaries “Masters of Overtone singing” (2010) which won multiple
awards and recently "Journey Into Khöömii" (2018).
Since June 2018 Routes Nomades is an ONG accredited by UNESCO.
