Zje is a Mongolian folk and world music ensemble based in Seattle, Washington, founded in 2020 by siblings Anu-Ujin, Temuulen, and Temuujin Batbaatar. United by family and music, the group blends ancestral sounds with modern expression, bringing the soul of the Mongolian steppe to audiences across the United States.
Through instruments such as the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), yochin (Mongolian dulcimer), tovshuur (two-stringed lute), and limbe (Mongolian side flute), along with the deep resonance of khöömii (Mongolian throat singing), Zje creates a sound that connects ancient traditions with contemporary emotion.
Since their formation, Zje Mongol has performed at leading venues and festivals including The Paramount Theatre, The Moore Theatre, Washington Hall, APCC Tacoma, Northwest Folklife, and Wintergrass Music Festival. Their performances take listeners on a journey through Mongolia’s vast landscapes, from the whispers of the Gobi wind to the thunder of galloping horses.
Zje’s mission is to preserve and share Mongolia’s rich cultural heritage through authentic performance and creative collaboration. By reimagining traditional sounds for today’s world, they build cross-cultural understanding and keep the spirit of nomadic artistry alive for future generations.
