I&#8217;d like to use this post to voice my thoughts on the last days of this process and showcase some of my findings that didn&#8217;t quite make it to the team StoryMap.<br \/>\nI found Tengger Cavalry and Hanggai through a music discovery platform, and a few posts from the same platform popped up in my searches throughout the project. A number of these mentioned an individual called Ethnic Zorigoo, a singer who, like many other Mongolian musicians, incorporates elements of throat singing and traditional themes into his work. Unlike many of the other musicians I&#8217;ve found, he doesn&#8217;t shy away from more modern genres like hip-hop and techno. Unfortunately, I couldn&#8217;t find any biographical information or news articles about him that also happened to be in English, but I found his music interesting and unconventional enough to merit a mention.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/el93MIxAf-c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wmXu8yk5mwU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KW7uvYz9yjA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nMy search for information on Tengger Cavalry actually turned up a second metal band, Nine Treasures, based in Inner Mongolia. I decided not to include them on the story map as I already had a metal band, but I thought I&#8217;d include some of their music in this post to showcase another style of Mongolian metal.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rAQsFN64rEQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThe last few weeks of our project have been at once intense and relieving for me. Once we had put everything together, it was just a matter of adding the finishing touches and preparing for our presentation. On one hand, I appreciate having some academic weight lifted off my shoulders. On the other hand, I really enjoyed working with the wonderful people in Team Heart and I feel that I gained quite a bit of knowledge and a number of valuable experiences over the course of this semester. It&#8217;s been a wild ride, but I don&#8217;t regret it in the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After hours of planning, meeting, researching, writing, organizing, contemplating, and finally completing, our project is at an end.
