Haya is a unique Chinese band that interprets modern Mongolian music. They will give a performance at the Shenzhen Poly Theater on Saturday night. Shenzhen is the last stop of Haya’s Spiritual Journey tour.
“Haya” means “margin” in Mongolian and indicates a subculture or escape from traditional rules. The group consists of members Zhang Quansheng, Daiqing Tana, Chen Xibo, Baoyin and Eric Lattanzio. They perform Mongolian music and combine multiple elements together: folk music with traditional and modern musical instruments.
Haya was founded in 2007, when they released their first album “Wolf Totem.” The title track “Wolf Totem” is a Mongolian-style song that incorporates Khoomei, which is the sound of throat singing, and is accompanied with the horse-head fiddle. It invokes images of the grasslands and wolves of Inner Mongolia. Their music has been defined as “Mongolian world music.”
Haya’s second album “The Silent Sky” came out in 2009. Daiqing Tana, who is the lead singer of the band, has a voice both soft and powerful. Compared with the first album “Wolf Totem,” “The Silent Sky” is more feminine and softer.
After their third album Migration, Haya started to compete in musical reality show I Am a Singer Season 4.
