Description

Mr. Bo Li, a Chinese Inner Mongolia grassland native, is a 2007-2008 Visiting Artist in Residence of the Ethnomusicology Program at the University of Washington.

Li is a master of the Morin huur, the "horse-head fiddle" of Inner Mongolia. He is a member of the Mongolian nationality, one of the fifty-six Chinese ethnic nationalities.

Arguably the musical instrument most identified with Mongolia, the Morin khuur has two strings made from horse hair and a distinctive decorative carving of a horse's head on top.

Photographed at the Seven Stars Pepper in Seattle, Washington.
