Egschiglen is a Mongolian folk band, formed in Ulaanbaatar in 1991. The band's name translates to "Beautiful Melody" in English. Egschiglen is among the few traditional Mongolian music groups to have achieved international recognition.
From the beginning, Egschiglen set the focus of their artistic work on contemporary music. They systematically explored the sound dimensions of works by classical-modernist Mongolian composers, using traditional instruments from Mongolia and Central Asia, including the morin khuur, tobshuur, joochin, bass, percussion and singing techniques like khöömii throat singing.
