Inner Mongolian folk rock

From MuGlobe.com

Summary

Inner Mongolian folk rock brings Mongolian song, instrumental sounds and vocal techniques into amplified band settings. It is distinct from unaccompanied long song and from a collection containing every Mongolian rock act.

Contemporary and trending

Performers connect pastoral musical knowledge with urban rehearsal, recording and touring. Hanggai’s Beijing base illustrates why production location and repertoire heartland should be recorded separately.[1]

History

Performers connect pastoral musical knowledge with urban rehearsal, recording and touring. Hanggai’s Beijing base illustrates why production location and repertoire heartland should be recorded separately.[2]

Musical characteristics

Horsehead fiddle and other string sounds can meet electric guitar, bass and drums; throat singing occurs in some works. Folk metal and lighter song arrangements are retained as identifiable variations within this listening route.

Geography and communities

Inner Mongolian communities form the main affinity landscape, with a separate Beijing production and audience connection. Regional song traditions vary across the long east–west span.

Artists

Hanggai, Nine Treasures and Tulegur offer different balances of inherited repertoire, original composition and amplified performance.
