Ganpurev Dagvan
(Music composer and musician)
He plays the Mongolian traditional musical instruments Ikh-Khuur, Morin-Khuur, Tobshuur, and he also sings undertone throat singing, as well as being a music composer. In his traditional robes - Gana in fur-trimmed garb - the musician seemed at one with his art. With the suggestive sounds of the bass violin and Ikh-Morin Khuur, Gana transported listeners into the Mongolian culture of his homeland. His songs tell of Genghis Khan, the leader who united the scattered tribes into a kingdom, of the endless steppes, and the pride of the people's daring riders - the horse. Genghis Khan's favorite woman was named after their ancestor, the gray-blue wolf, from whom all Mongols are said to descend according to legend. The mythical figure of the wolf, suspended between heaven and earth, has always been revered in the Far East. Boerte is also the first piece of the program dedicated to Gana, which leaps directly beyond European cultural boundaries and challenges listening habits. The bass violin of Gana swings deeply, narrating and entertaining. And much deeper still, dark, vibrant, almost dominantly booming are the pervasive sounds of Umzad, the undertone throat singing. Whether rhythmically spoken or wonderfully melodious, it is always in sync with the vibrations of the bass violin, as tones from the depths of the throat fill the room. Especially critical but touching is the manner and atmosphere of the dialogue sounds of voices in "Altai Magtaal" and in the "Legend of the Yellow Dog."
D. Ganpurev was awarded the Artemis Records Original Movie Award for Best Score by the Hamptons International Film Festival.
And he was listed in the best list 4/2005 - Prize of the German Record Critics.
