From Throat Singing to Ne Zha 2: How Chinese Folk Music is Going Global!
Hey there! 🎶 Have you ever watched a movie and thought, “Wow, this music is amazing!”? Well, that’s exactly what happened with Ne Zha 2, a super cool animated movie from China! 🇨🇳
One of the reasons the soundtrack is so awesome is because of a special singer named Halamuji. He’s from Inner Mongolia, a region in the Chinese mainland, and he has a unique way of singing called Khoomei, or throat singing.
What is Throat Singing?
Throat singing is a magical way of singing where one person can sing multiple notes at the same time! 🤯 It’s like having a whole band inside your throat. This traditional style comes from Inner Mongolian culture and has been passed down for generations.
Meet Halamuji
Halamuji loves throat singing and wants to share it with the world. By singing for the Ne Zha 2 soundtrack, he’s showing everyone how amazing Chinese folk music can be.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
In an interview, Halamuji talked about “slow creation.” This means taking time to make art that lasts a long time. He believes that by being patient and putting love into his music, he can create songs that people will enjoy for years and years. ⏳❤️
Why is This Important?
By including throat singing in a popular movie, more people around the world can discover and appreciate Chinese culture. It’s like opening a window to new sounds and stories! 🌍🎵
