The Mongols who have been living in their homeland in Central Asian plateau since far prehistoric times used shamanic calls in their belief and worship of Father Tengri (Welkin) and the Mother Earth, which was the origin of Mongolian folk long song. Mongolian long song, as a melodious means for communication between human and nature offering, has been developed to perfection along the progressive process  of the nomadic civilization, turning into the classical form of vocal arts and an intangible cultural heritage of the Mongols.
Mongolian long song styles are diverse among Mongol ethnicities with wide range of distinct styles.
