This Friday at Harley’s you can experience Beatbox Naadam, a music collaboration between two talents on tour from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia that have previously proven to be a big hit in Shanghai: Beatbox Bachka and Khongor on murinkhuur (horse-head fiddle). Bachka is the leader of the Royal Beat crew and a beatboxer at the highest level. He's recently been incorporating more khomeii (Mongolian throat singing) into his repertoire. Khongor has proven apt at collaborating with an exceptionally wide pool of Shanghai talent, putting his clasically trained talent to work with Alec Haavik (jazz), Gooose (electronic music), Sal Haque (sitar), Tom Mangione (soft folk), and Death to Giants (metal).
