Join us for one more Thursday dedicated to cultural influences and fusions from all the round the world blended into music, dance, theater and stage performaces. This week we are welcoming very special crew!.

TULEGUR is a modern nomad music duo, rooted in traditional tunes of Inner Mongolia (Mongolian part of China) and influenced by contemporary music. Their sound is a great mixture of traditional Mongolian music, acoustic rock, throat-singing (also known as "Khoomei") and electronic music. This combination results in a unique style which some described as “ethnic post-rock” or “psychedelic nomadic rock”. Within two years they went on several extended tours in China, India, Europe and also Australia/New Zealand where they gained overwhelming reactions by the audience. Especially in Australia and New Zealand, they appeared on iTunes Top 200 World Music Charts with peak at #8 in Australia, #1 for 3 days in New Zealand and #1 in Switzerland within two days! This makes us more curious about the full length debut album to be released in 2017.

Vocalist and acoustic guitar player Gangzi was educated in classical music and opera, and his voice is trained for a broad range of throat singing. Attracted by modern music, Gangzi moved from Inner Mongolia to Beijing to perform and compose. A year later, he returned to his hometown, Hulun Buir, where he spent time with local nomads to learn Khoomei and their cultural traditions. This nomadic experience became a revelation in his life and helped him to find his own music style. After years of solo performances, Gangzi has achieved remarkable success all around China and worldwide.

Percussionist / electric guitarist Wang (alias Zongcan) joint Tulegur’s new bigger picture in later 2014 to help extend the music to a wider range in expression. As a multiple instrumentalist and sophisticated artist, Wang has traveled to many places within and beyond China and gained has his special ways to embrace different cultures to be fused into with his world of music.
