Why truth and lies matter: https://bit.ly/Truth_Lies_Climate His studies complete, Ganbaatar returns home to discover his fate... Music Notes: The music from this episode was recorded by ethnomusicologist Jean Jenkins in the spring of 1974, and is taken from the https://www.discogs.com/release/11785..." CD of Mongolian music produced for Topic World Series. It's a short form song called Garyn Arvan Huriin (Ten Fingers of the Hand), and is performed by Monyi, a camel herder from south-west Mongolia. The lyrics tell of 'long straight fingers with a ring of pure gold', and ask why her lover has hemmed his sleeves in black silk, and given his love to a foreigner. Garyn Arvan Huriin was a popular song in the 70s, often played on state radio, where Monyi may well have first heard it. Written, Produced and Narrated by SternWriter Audio Production by Samuel Wain
