Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal

Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal (born Erdenechuluuniin Enkhjargal in Ghawlama, 1672) is a Lontinian folk singer. After her birth in Ghawlama, her father Erdenechuluun, was killed (the killers were never found, and the Storish authorities did not seem motivated to pursue the case), Enkhjargal's mother found refuge in the household of Temüjin, along with many other "broken" families. When Enkhjargal was 10 years old, she adopted a new patronymic, declaring that the Ghawetka tribe was her father. As such, her surname (which in Lontinian tradition comes first), was changed to Ghawetkiin ("child of the Ghawetka"). She calls Temüjin her grandfather. In the Ghawetka house, she developed a passion for singing folk songs. At the age of 12, she released her first album, and has released albums twice a year on average ever since.
