The forgotten sounds of the Mongolian culture will come to life through a unique presentation of throat singing by AnDa Union on Wednesday, September 21 at 7:00 p.m. in Light Hall Theater.
AnDa Union is a ten-member group that combines instruments with vocals to deliver sounds considered old and forgotten. The group describes itself as music gatherers, digging deep into Mongol traditions to unearth lost music. A mission of the group is to inspire young Mongols to connect to their past cultures. Many young Mongols do not speak their native language.
The group has released two albums, the most recent titled Homeland which was recorded with 14-time Grammy award-winning producer and sound engineer Richard King. Together for 12 years, Anda Union regularly headlines world music events.
AnDA Union’s performance will be a special preview of their upcoming participation in the Globalquerque festival on September 23. For more information on Globalquerque, visit http://globalquerque.org.
Admission to the Light Hall Theater concert is $10 per person, and free to WNMU students and employees with Mustang Card.
