Hip-hop is big in Mongolia: "Beijing - Forget nomads, heavy tents and epic songs chanted after a long day of herding across00 vast grasslands.

"Continue like this and you'll be an alcoholic, you'll forget your family and parents, there go your loved ones," raps Ganbold, who lives in an impoverished district of Ulan Bator, the Mongolian capital.
