They are especially renowned for their capella arrangements using ‘khuumei’ or overtone-singing, which is an UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity from Mongolia. The group has produced numerous works that feature elements of western classical music and musical instruments and techniques that form part of Mongolia’s intangible cultural heritage, including the horsehead fiddle, zither, flute, lute, open-ended flute, various jaw harps and overtone-singing. Khusugtun ballad band has recently staged a full-length concert in Brasilia in frames of the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Mongolia and Brazil. Khusugtun also participated in an international music festival which took place in Brazil’s ancient capital Salvador, and successfully presented the wonders of the Mongolian national folk art. The Mongolian ballad group is the first runner-up of the Asia's Got Talent 2015.
