Mongolian folk metallers Tengger Cavalry have debuted a music video for the title track of their brand new kAAn EP. The clip originally premiered over at Huffington Post, and features an interview with bandleader Nature Ganganbaigal, where he discusses the band’s cultural background and details behind the track and video. An excerpt of the interview follows:
“This century is the century of machine and industry. Nomadic culture is falling apart everywhere around the world. Grasslands and plains are being exploited and it is becoming more acceptable to step into the sacred land of others and get what we need in the moment. We all saw what happened at Standing Rock. As distantly related brothers of Native Americans (proven genetically), Tengger Cavalry, an international alliance of Mongols, Central Asians and Northern Asians, felt the need to give our public support to them. This video is about the brotherhood of nomadic people. It doesn’t matter what ethnicity you are – if you have a nomadic heart and you love nature and sky, you are one of us, and we will support you!”
kAAn is out now and available for purchase at the group’s Bandcamp.
