At the heart of one of the three STIB’s metro depots, Brussels public transport company, the new Mongolian quartet Tengerton takes you along the wild steppes where horses are the primary means of transport. The importance of horses in Mongolian music is reflected not only in the musical repertoire – where half of the songs talk about them -, within the rhythms and sounds where we hear stallions and mares trotting, but also in the instruments. The Morin khuur (two-stringed fiddle) and the Ih Khuur (large Mongolian fiddle) are not only made of horsehair, but also carved in the profile-shape of the animal.
Tengerton, literally meaning the sounds of air, combines the power of these traditional string instruments with the mesmerizing voices of Khoomii and Kharkhiraa. Succeeding the legendary Egschiglen, it is made up of several generations of experienced top-level musicians who will be able to move you at a galloping speed.
The Jacques Brel depot is one of the best served in the Brussels region. It is located between three metro stations: Jacques Brel, Gare de l’Ouest (1 and 2) and Delacroix, in correspondence with many tram and bus lines and a future RER stop, in direct communication with the Gare de l’Ouest metro station.
What better place than this deposit, in the name of the famous singer, to travel with Tengerton in the endless plain lands, filled with sounds and melodies transported by the wind…
