Very neat.

Other horse-oriented musicians from that part of the world who are worth hearing: Huun Huur Tu the throat-singers from Tuva (which is just north of Mongolia). Their lives on the steppes revolve around horses, and much of their music reflects that. When I heard them in performance, their use of horse hooves as a rhythm instrument was thrilling & reminded me of the Andean musicians who use strung up llama toe clippings in their indigenous music.

I wonder if there's a niche in every culture that has folks riding herd on beasties of some sort that parallels what we think of as "cowboy music" in North America.
