The Arts Council of Mongolia (ACM), in cooperation with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation in Mongolia and Musiques Suisses presents AGULA, the first Swiss-Mongolian joint music album by Mongolia's Arga Bileg Ethno Jazz Band and the Heiri Kaenzig Quintet of Switzerland.
The album launch was held as part of ACM’s annual Membership Night on March 24 at Ancore Conference and Event Hall in Ulaanbaatar and included a special live show by Arga Bileg Ethno Jazz Band.
The name “AGULA” is derived from the old Mongolian word for mountain. The “A” stands for the Alps of Switzerland and the Altai Mountain Range of Mongolia. AGULA is part of a larger music project that celebrates the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Mongolia and the 10th anniversary of the Swiss Cooperation Office in Ulaanbaatar.
