Hanggai have won over audiences far and wide, entrapping them within a haze of battle cries and polyrhythmic drumming that never fails to set-off the inner warrior. Their contemporaneous adaptations of traditional Mongolian folk songs draw on western and Chinese influences, making their culture accessible to natives and foreigners alike.
It’s time to crack the whip on the GUINNESS More Music series; we’re excited to present Hanggai in Shanghai for the first time since their epic performance at GUINNESS Wood+Wires Festival 2013. This time we celebrate the release of their latest album Back To You, a body of work that concretizes the lessons and experiences the band have garnered over their years of touring. It embodies a timely revisionary statement, a return to the roots that have provided the foundation of the band’s decade-long career.
This band doesn’t prance about: with horse-head fiddle in hand, they’ve marched on England, the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Denmark where they concluded their European tour. In March they’re set for an appearance at Womad Fest, Australia. This will be followed by a full-on tour of the territory. We’ve said enough, saddle up and join the flanks for an unforgettable show.

About Guinness MORE Music:
GUINNESS, the world’s number one stout with a legacy that spans over 250 years, is proud to present MORE Music – a series of concerts and festivals curated to showcase China’s growing independent modern folk movement. Against the backdrop of a music scene heavily influenced by the mass media and foreign popular culture, modern folk music is gaining a following for its authenticity, deeper lyrical content, advanced musicianship, and synthesis of traditional and historical influences. The rich lyrical content and eclectic sounds of some of China’s most innovative and experimental music provides a perfect pairing for the big, bold flavor of GUINNESS.
Globally, GUINNESS celebrates music through Arthur’s Day, an annual commemoration of Arthur Guinness, the father of the brand. Well-loved musicians pair up with up-and-coming artists on international stages from Dublin to Singapore, London to Kuala Lumpur, to provide fans with a remarkable and unforgettable experience. Celebrity musicians from years past include The Black Eyed Peas, The Script, Ed Sheeran, Brandon Flowers and Ellie Goulding.
Today, GUINNESS® is bringing this tradition to China by partnering with independent music promoter Split Works, to bring music that is Made of More.

今年4月，杭盖乐队将再次作为健力士新声代系列活动的嘉宾，重返上海并在Mao Livehouse做专场演出。这次专场也是杭盖最新专辑《回到你身旁》的上海首发演出。继《远走的人》之后，这是杭盖时隔四年来最值得期待的全新音乐专辑！
自2009年起，为了纪念品牌创始人亚瑟·健力士的生日，风靡全球的健力士黑啤首次发起“亚瑟日”活动并邀请各国艺术家们同台献唱。健力士将中国作为继承亚瑟日传统的全新一站， 在中国隆重启动了名为“新声代”的音乐系列活动，于2013年9月开始推出了一系列专场演出。旨在为大家奉上全球正在兴起的新民谣音乐，为中国的啤酒爱好者们带来耳目一新的新民谣现场音乐体验。
在去年的健力士“木＋线”音乐节上，杭盖以气吞山河的激情献艺，为整个音乐节画上了圆满的句号。这支来自于内蒙古，拥有7名成员的乐队，远远超越了传统定义中的蒙古音乐范畴，他们有着放眼全世界的眼光。摇滚和蒙古民族音乐的结合赋予了他们独特的风格，而辗转全世界的演出经验，则给予了乐队别样的深度和感染力：2014年2月，杭盖带着全新歌曲在欧洲巡演，所经之处包括英国、荷兰、法国、比利时、丹麦等，演出无不火爆。3月，乐队去澳大利亚参加了Womad音乐节，并进行了澳洲巡演。
在音乐的旅途中，杭盖不断成长，自然蜕变，唯一不变的是他们的草原之心。新专辑《回到你身旁》即将昭示他们向草原深处回归的决心。依然是由马头琴催动的摇滚乐战车，依然是强劲的草原之风，依然是杭盖自己最独特的风格。当置身于草原逐渐被城市吞噬的过程中时，作为观察者，他们自然地找到了最有力的表达方式。草原上悠扬且古老的歌声化作记录和见证的载体，也表达了他们对大自然的敬意及对故乡草原的深深依恋。
本次杭盖专场演出结束后，健力士新声代还将于5月30日在Mao Livehouse迎来下一场的专场嘉宾——苏阳乐队，继续新民谣之旅。
