Founded in the distant and mysterious Yunnan, the Shanren Band is a band with different ethnic backgrounds, including members (Han, Buyi, Yi, British), and has participated in almost all major music festivals in China for more than ten years, with thousands of performances.
In recent years, it has entered the international market and traveled to more than 40 countries, becoming the most representative international national rock band in China, playing an important leading role in the inheritance and dissemination of national music, respecting traditional culture and creating a unique musical style.
The Mountain People Band has the innocence and simplicity of the mountain, but does not have the majesty of the mountain, and their music is just like their character: simple and introverted, spiritual light and with a hint of cunning.
There is no reinforced concrete, no cold and thin human feelings, no idiot men and women, only the simplest impulses of the mountain people of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the most simple vision and the most instinctive confusion, and the attachment to the mountains behind them.
The simple and melodious "Bird Talk" begins with a clear bird song, deftly breaking through the silence of the mountain forest. The looming electronic melody slowly lifts the fog between the mountains and forests, and the outline of everything is faintly recognizable in the haze. The lead singer Zi Han's singing voice then sounded, simple and melodious.
As the second single of the new album of the Mountain People Band, "Bird Talk" is a more in-depth world music consciousness and a long-term mentality that has been precipitated for many years, and it has a beautiful and magnificent state of tranquility.
The ancient Wa folk tune composes the yearning for love, but in the adaptation of the mountain people, there is more of a vast and solemn feeling. Between the echoes of vocals and birdsong, they jumped out of the small love in the song and translated this ancient love song into a grand movement that celebrates nature. The Yi pronunciation at the end of the song is deep and solemn, and in the context of "love", it conveys another universal love that is related to the heavens.
Thirty years later
Found what thirty years later
Not long ago, the mountain people band just released another new album single "Thirty Years Later", this song tells the change of life and mentality in recent years in a self-deprecating tone, the troubles of thirty years ago seem to be far away, and thirty years later also face new confusion, which is also the transformation and maturity of mountain people.
The rousing slogans on the radio were mixed with the hilarious mockery of the townspeople and echoed with electrified psychedelic synthesizers. A montage of cottage life full of magical realism spreads out between various contrasts, revealing the absurdity and capriciousness of reality.
The ultimate solution to the two major life events of starting a family and starting a career, thirty years later, has only become more concrete under the magnifying glass of life, but it is still unsolvable. People struggling with confusion and anxiety are constantly caught in the dead cycle of "standard life". The alternating interspersing of modernity and national materials in the song is a reflection of the reincarnation of contemporary youth returning and fleeing.
Ethnic music
Propagator
Chinese national music has existed for thousands of years, and with the changes in history and the constant changes in people's ideologies in various historical periods, national music has also changed and developed.
It not only reflects the spiritual outlook of people in different historical periods, but also records the daily life and humanistic background of people in different historical periods in a special way.
Lahu ancient village style
Since 2009, the Mountain Man Band has embarked on a systematic folk style journey. Along the Nu River Grand Canyon all the way south, musical specimens of Lisu, Nu, Wa, Yi and other ethnic groups were collected.
From the thorny music road together, the mountain people know that rock or roll has long become no longer important, out of the formal shackles and deep into life to let their familiar national culture deeply and naturally integrate into their own blood, exploring and breaking through the music itself is the key.
Dance hand in hand with the villagers of the Lahu ancient village
Looking back at the past of the mountain people, they perfectly integrated music with national feelings. Those notes from the depths of the heart stir your and my hearts again and again, back to the mountains, back to the land that gave birth to these precious spiritual wealth, looking for those mysterious and moving music.
Return to the mountains
Start again
After experiencing many rapid growths, the Mountain People Band escaped from the mountains and eventually returned to the real mountain. Mountain people are not a static posture, they are also constantly looking for the real mountain people in their hearts, and the surrounding environment is truly integrated.
Today's mountain people seem to be less entangled in gains and losses, but with a more open state of mind, they are attached to the nature of "hearing what is heard and colored by sight", which harmoniously resonates with all things in the world.
From the outing to the return, the Mountain People Band has experienced more than 20 years of ups and downs. Return to Yunnan and let them plunge more deeply into the introverted exploration in the natural and pure mountains. Now, with the echo of the mountains, they set out again, expressing themselves with a new world music, conveying the simple values of the root culture, and releasing the most distant aura of southwest national music.
