Anda Union, from Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, has stunned audiences worldwide for over 20 years.
This dynamic ensemble’s mission is to preserve and revitalize the endangered cultural heritage of the steppe. They weave together haunting longsong, resonant throat singing, and instrumental mastery on horse-head fiddles, two-stringed lutes, flutes, and percussion. The sound is at once ancient and contemporary evoking the vastness of the grasslands and the rhythms of horseback life.
Their gloriously atmospheric songs are based on melodies that are as memorable and accessible as any great western folk songs, and they deserve success well beyond their homeland………This was a rousing masterclass in folk revivalism.”
