The Magical Voice From Mongolia | World Music Central.org: "Portrait is a compilation of songs by Urna (Urna Chahar-Tugchi), who is one of the great voices of Inner Mongolia. The album features tracks from various albums as well as archive recordings and other unreleased material.
Although Urna’s outstanding vocals and music are rooted in Mongolian tradition, her music features elements that are unconventional in Mongolian folk music. She is currently based in Europe and has been working with European or European-based musicians for many years. Most of her diverse recordings have the ethereal ambiance found in the ECM-style recordings; it’s a contemporary chamber music esthetic that highlights her captivating voice and combines it with tasteful minimal instrumentation."
