Hailing from the Xilingol Grassland area of Inner Mongolia, An Da Union makes their Texas debut at Texas Performing Arts. Part of a musical movement that is finding inspiration in old and forgotten songs, this vibrant young group of musicians and singers draw from a repertoire of enchanting music that had all but disappeared during China’s tumultuous recent past. Holding on to the essence of Mongolian music while creating a form of new music, they perform with indigenous instruments – the morin huur (horse head fiddle), the maodun chaoer (a three-holed flute), Mongolian versions of the lute, and the mouth harp – combining different traditions and styles of music from all over Inner and Outer Mongolia. Excerpts from the documentary film, An Da Union from the Steppes to the City, which is scheduled for release in Fall 2011, will be featured in the performance.
“An Da Union connects with their audience via a bridge of timeless music.”
