Mongolian man on a musical mission

"My father let me try to play it, and I remember I just couldn't stop playing it for the whole night."

Since that heady introduction to playing the ancient matouqin, or horse-head fiddle, nine years ago, when Bodee Borjigin was 9 years old, his infatuation for the most important musical instrument of the Mongolian ethnic group never seems to have waned.

"I'm never tired of the matouqin," he says. "For me it's an instrument on which you can play any kind of music, ancient or contemporary."
