The 29 th Golden Melody Awards for Traditional Arts and Music:
♛ Best Fusion Album
♛ Best Creation：Arrangement
Behold an aural paradise—Between the Sky & Prairie—a re-imagined collection of Mongolian music from a millennium.
Created by six-time GRAMMY Award-winner Daniel Ho, Golden Melody Award-winning producer Judy Wu, and introducing The Grasslands Ensemble.
The Grasslands Ensemble comes from the Inner Mongolian prairies of Hulunbuir. They represent a diversity of ethnicities: Mongolian, Manchurian, Evenk, Daur, Russian, and Han Chinese. Their music is an organic and inimitably rich presentation of traditional, ethnic minority folk songs. Daniel Ho adds his signature sound on 'ukulele and instruments of his native Hawai'i. His thoughtful arrangements give prominence to each member of the Ensemble.
The Grasslands Ensemble is:
Mongolian long-song master, Borjigin Hasibatu;
lead female vocalist of the group Anda Union and preserver of traditional Evenk music, Qiqigema;
female Manchurian vocalist, Bayinhehe;
Chaoer and morin khuur virtuoso, Han Mou Ren;
throat-singer and perpetuator of tsuur music legacy, Tamir Hargana;
and the driving contemporary Mongolian sounds of the Hasar Band.
The grasslands of Hulunbuir: Asia’s most expansive wetlands, its very lungs.
While keeping the ecology in balance, it nutures a lush, cultural landscape.
The nomads and the prairie, breathing in unison.
Between the sky and the prairie, our music joins the sounds of the land.
At the highest level of musicianship equaled with personalities abundant in humility and grace, The Grasslands Ensemble and Daniel Ho shine as they take turns playing a leading or supporting role in sharing songs of the steppe.
The collaborative efforts of consultants, ethnomusicologists and producers from China, Taiwan and the United States, along with the album’s resident Inner Mongolian musicians strive toward a common goal: to perpetuate traditional music and bring awareness to their beautiful homeland.
