Music reviews of Introducing Hanggai
Music Review: Inside Inner Mongolia
Rating: 4 Stars
Northwest of Mongolia is Tuva, which was once part of the Soviet Empire. South of Mongolia is Inner Mongolia, which is part of the Chinese Empire. There are some 5,000,000 ethnic Mongols residing in China. The political lines cut across grasslands where once nomadic horse and cattle herders play similar horse-head fiddles, flutes, and drums and sing with overtones. Of course, regional differences in songs, playing styles, and language exist. This album contains 36 minutes of Inner Mongolian music performed by the group Hanggai, plus Chinese radio host and musician Robin Haller. While traditional instruments are heard, the album also includes electric guitar, bass, banjo, and electronic programming, all of which, fortunately, are unobtrusive. It is a shame that our introduction to this music is so short, for good cheer pervades the recording. If you have enjoyed the earlier recordings of the Tuvan group Huun Huur Tu, then you will certainly enjoy Hanggai. Bright vigorous melodies and quiet reflective ballads dominate. Although no lyrics are provided, the titles of the pieces are sufficient for us to imagine them.
