rangerkeri Hanggai kept appearing in my Youtube suggestions. I am glad I finally took heed. I do not know a syllable of either Mongolian or Mandarin, but their music speaks to the very depths of my soul. ❤️ Favorite track: Hanggai.

Cheryl Claussen I found Hanggai by accident and am a huge fan of “Mongol Metal “. If you haven’t listened, please do. This is a great album. It’s hard to find through the mainstream music services. The music goes from quiet and meditative to kicking out the jams. This is actually their second album and there are several others.
Most catchy and apt to stay in your head: Xiger Xiger and Drinking Song. Favorite track: Xiger Xiger.

Ancient Harp I saw them at Hillside a couple years ago. They were great live, and I love this album.

Marcus David Mongolian folk filtered through the lens of Ennio Morricone and the Pogues – just about as culturally omnivorous as music gets. Stay tuned for that Marc Ribot guest spot. Favorite track: Xiger Xiger.

about

The scope of Hanggai’s music is almost as wide as the grasslands out of which they journey. Taking in the wild open spaces of Inner Mongolia and the teaming, churning streets of 21st century Beijing, Hanggai’s music embraces the looking-glass world of rock, pop and bluegrass as seen and heard by a new generation of Chinese. The six-piece Hanggai encompasses a hell of a lot of tradition, culture, fusion and folklore to produce their unique sound. With their brand new album He Who Travels Far, they continue to grow, incorporating many of the experiences that the past year of international touring has brought them. The new music features a new band member, fresh collaborations (producer Ken Stringfellow and Tom Wait’s regular collaborator guitarist Marc Ribot), fourteen new songs (many of them drawing on Mongolian traditional lyrics and melodies) and a ’live’ performance approach to the music (rather than the ’separate parts’ studio recording of their previous album).
