"Thirty years ago I couldn't find it, but today I find it." Looking for the little girl today, not mine. It's a pity that it's not my yo, it's a pity that it's not mine. ”
On the stage of "China's Good Songs" in 2016, the Mountain People Band from Yunnan won the turn of 4 mentors with a song "Thirty Years" and finally won the championship of the year.
Since its establishment in 1999, the Shanren Band, which integrates Han, Buyi, Yi and British, has always been committed to the inheritance and dissemination of Chinese national music, and has brought the national culture originating from Yungui to the world in the form of music. As the soul of the Mountain People Band, lead singer Qu Zihan originally named the band Mountain People, and was determined that the band would make music with Chinese elements in the future.
Rustic and humorous, it is the unique style of the Mountain People Band, and through folk style, their music draws the nutrients of the mountain soil. In Nine to Five, they sing "Morning is for work, evening is for life." Day by day boredom, emptiness, loneliness and monotony. This is your life, this is my job, this is the life we used to pursue in the city. In Shangri-La, they sing, "Look at the wildflowers, open to you, and the breeze blows a faint fragrance." The distant peaks were silent like giants, walking forward, not looking back. ”
After years of accumulation and precipitation, in the territory of world music, the Shanren Band has also become one of the channels for the world to understand Chinese national music. In the 2014 recommended list released by the European World Music Chart, MountainMan's "Left Foot" stood out from 824 nominations from around the world, ranking 51st, and it is also the only group of Chinese musicians to enter the chart.
