Special event screening documentary film "Mongolian Bling" with Japanese subtitles.Discover the root of hip hop in the heart of Asia.
“Hip hop originated in Mongolia.”
Or so claims Bayarmagnai, an elderly traditional musician and one of the stars from Mongolian Bling, which screening is planned in Shibuya on June 17, 2018 with local translation partner 5th-element.jp, a non-profit hip hop knowledge collective running a crowdfunding campaign for the screening event.
The feature length documentary delves into traditions, history, western influence, music, culture and the search for identity of the country’s youth. In essence, it asks, “What does it mean to be Mongolian in the 21st Century?”
The question is explored through the personal stories of three Mongolian rappers:
Gennie, the country’s first female rapper who is creating her debut album,
Quiza, a rap superstar who is blending traditional music with hip hop,
Gee, an emerging gangster rapper from the slums of the capital, Ulaanbaatar.
Along the way, we meet a colourful supporting cast including a shaman, a music professor, traditional musicians, a retired Socialist music censor and Mongolians living both rural and urbanised lives. Together they paint a picture of modern Mongolia and how hip hop and western culture is influencing their ancient lifestyle.
