Abstract:
"Forget about nomads and monks! It's hip hop that's making Mongolia move in the 21st century. Mongolian Bling jumps into the thriving music scene in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and follows stars as they rap nationwide with their bitches, cars and jewels. But beyond this bling lies a failed democracy and a dying ancient culture the elders mourn the loss of. While many artists aspire to the West, a handful are breaking down social and political boundaries and forging a new identity by bringing Mongolia's rich musical history into their modern beats and rhymes."--container
