Kazakh Song of the Steppe

Yntan, an Kazakh eaglehunter of western Monogolia, strums a dombra and sings a song of hunting far from home. There were only a few candles alight that night, and my camera could not capture any light for this short video - but the song captures the timelessness of winter life in Bayan-Olgii. Yntan, now in his late seventies, has been flying eagles since his teenage years, taught by his father, and his father by his father before him.
