One of China's top bands is releasing a new studio album combining Mongolian folk tunes with brass instruments and rock 'n' roll, Chen Nan reports.
Hanggai, a rock band from China made up of ethnic Mongolian musicians, has released its sixth studio album titled Big Band Brass.
The new album brings 12 songs, inspired by Mongolian folk tunes, including The Dinjid Bay and The Achnatherum Splendens in the North - all popular in Ordos in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region - that portray the beauty of landscape there. The album was produced in association with a 13-member American jazz brass band.
