Mongolian...
Today I came across a video of a performance by Beijing based Hanggai, a band comprising of ethnic Mongolians and Han Chinese who play a mix of Mongolian ethnic music mixed with metal and punk rock among other influences. It's hard to describe but it features traditional Mongolian overtone singing (otherwise known as throat singing) as well as more modern vocals and traditional instruments along with electric guitars, computer based music, banjo and bass. Definitely a unique sound and style.

Unable to check the video right now although it doesn't sound that enjoyable. I will come back.
It is very different , Jo, but I found it surprisingly haunting.
