The record label says:
The ensemble was founded in June 1999. All its members have studied at the academy of music in Ulaanbaatar.

Tumbash is a symbol for four animals, which live peacefully and happily together.

According to an Indian fairy-tale, a pigeon, a hare, a monkey and an elephant lived peacefully and happily together and respect the older. Thanks to their friendship and peaceful togetherness, they had been able to achieve a lot. These animals helped an oppressed people to free themselves from the authorities. By holding together with this people, they could overcome the evil prince and chase away.

The word "tumbash" is also mentioned in the ancient Sutra "Subashid", the Treasure of Wisdom.
