AnDa Union, a band of Mongolian musicians living in Hohhot, will present a night of ethnic music Nov. 19.
AnDa Union has accomplished singers who can move fluently from hoomai, guttural throat songs, to the clear long notes of urtinduu, long-songs. They play many instruments, including the morin huur, the maodun chaoer, a three-holed flute, as well as the Mongolian versions of the lute and mouth harp.
Mongols have a strong musical tradition that is passed from generation to generation. The morin huur, or horse-head fiddle, pays homage to the most important animal in the Mongol culture; almost all houses have one hanging in the hallway.
Time: 8 p.m., Nov. 19
Tickets: 80-480 yuan
Venue: Shenzhen Concert Hall, intersection of Hongli Road and Yitian Road, Futian District (福田区红荔路和益田路交汇处深圳音乐厅)
