HAYA

HAYA (with singer 代青塔娜 or DaiQing Tana) is one of China's most unique musical groups. The band was formed in 2005, featuring Mongolian music. They perform Mongolian singing accompanied by both traditional and modern musical instruments. The name "HAYA" means "margin" in Mongolian and indicates a sub-culture and non-mainstream identity. Blending indigenous, forceful and vigorous Mongolian tones and characteristics of modern music, this music has been defined as "Mongolian world music".
