A fascinating music doc that cuts between AnDa Union’s extraordinary live performances, the band members lives in Hohhat, the concrete city, and their family homes out on the grasslands of Mongolia. The unique haunting sound of their strange throat singing and two string violins make for some rousing tunes (’1000 Hooves’ is particularly evocative). Throw in their fine colourful costumes, the making of their instruments, a wedding, horses, much drinking and slaughtering of sheep and above all the wide open landscape of the steppes and you’re immersed in a journey to another world. Not to be missed by anyone interested in world music or the awesome Mongolian landscape.
