Sounds Like“the wonderful calm which travellers on horseback experience, as they traverse the limitless wastes of Central Asia” (The Scotsman)

“a perfect theme if Sergio Leone composed for a spaghetti western set in Mongolia” (World Music Central)

“traditional Mongolian folk music and instrumentation project[ed] into a loosely rock-based structure…creating something new and exhilarating in the process.” (Pitchfork)

   About Hanggai
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT "INTRODUCING HANGGAI"

“distills everything powerful about Mongolian folk music and makes something new from the ingredients…transcendently powerful music that anyone from anywhere can understand.” (Pitchfork)

“so entrancing or just downright enthralling that I just can’t imagine why the tradition ever fell out of fashion… charming, raucous, brilliantly jubilant and a breath of fresh Mongolian grassland.” (World Music Central)

"Hanggai have made the leap from folk phenomenon to crossover pioneers without losing their soul. Built from -- and meant for -- Mongolia's wide open spaces, this music will make you homesick for a place you've never been." (Rhapsody)

“Introducing Hanggai is more than just an introduction. It’s an outright emotional roller coaster....The closest I can get to describing this album is that it’s pure magic. Enjoy.” (411mania)

"their melodic, often mournful songs at times echo the sturdy charm of Celtic balladry." (Guardian)

"Their debut album is a delight...'Flowers' is country and eastern, while 'Haar Hu' could be the grassland's 'Scarborough Fair'. While Beijing busts a vulgar gut to Westernise, Hanggai update tradition with elegance." (Observer)

"Introducing Hanggai is more than an introduction to Hanggai: it could also serve as an introduction to indigenous Mongolian music on the whole, a gateway Mongolian folk album for non-Mongolians." (Popmatters)

"Entstanden is ein Mongolen-Album, das alles in sich vereint, was man von dieser musik erwarten: pferdekopfgeige, Obertongesang und Maultrommel. Aberauch uns bekannte perkussionspatterns, westliche rhythmik und ungewohnte, namlich dezente elektronikhaben einzug gehalten." (Blue Rhythem)

"Ce premier album est une totale réussite !" (Mondomix)
