- **Event Name**: Ómur steppunar / Echos of the Steppe
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Ómur steppunnar er tónleikaröð eftir KHAIRKHAN, mongólskan tónlistarmann búsettan í Reykjavík. Í tónleikunum skapar hann hljóðræna mynd af mongólsku landslagi, veðurfari og hirðingjalífi með blöndu hefðbundinna mongólskra hljóðfæra og nútímalegra hljóðheima.

Tónleikarnir minna á að mongólsk menning er lifandi menning sem heldur áfram að þróast, en er ekki skilin eftir í fortíðinni.

Jafnframt er tónleikunum ætlað að sýna fjölbreytileika mongólskrar menningar og brjóta upp staðalímyndir um Mongólíu sem hafa verið ríkjandi í vestrænum samfélögum um langa hríð.

Um listamanninn:

KHAIRKHAN er tónlistarmaður frá Innri-Mongólíu, af Khorchin-ættbálki á austurhluta svæðisins, og býr nú í Reykjavík. Hann ólst upp á hinu víðfeðma Khorchin-graslendi þar sem rík hefð er fyrir þjóðlagatónlist og sagnamenningu.

Hann flytur hefðbundna mongólska tónlist og leggur áherslu á hljóðfæri á borð við morin khuur, tsuur og tovshuur, auk mongólsks barka- og yfirtónasöngs. Hljóðfærin sem hann leikur eiga sér rætur í Khorchin-héraði, þar sem margar helstu tónlistarstefnur Mongóla áttu upptök sín.

Um þessar mundir vinnur KHAIRKHAN að þróun nýrrar, tilraunakenndrar nálgunar á mongólska þjóðlagatónlist. Þar sameinar hann aldagamlar hefðir og nútímalega túlkun og sýnir þannig hvernig mongólsk menning heldur áfram að þróast án þess að rjúfa tengsl við rætur sínar.
