Mongolian tradition meets modern world music in an Australian debut
Experience the breathtaking sounds of HAYA Band as they make their Australian debut at Festival of Voices this July. Led by the extraordinary voice of Daiqing Tana, this award-winning ensemble blends traditional Mongolian music with contemporary influences, creating a mesmerising soundscape that transcends borders and generations.
HAYA's music is deeply rooted in Mongolian traditions, featuring the morin khuur (horse-head fiddle), tanbur, khoomei (throat singing), shaman drums, and ancient chants. These time-honoured sounds are reimagined through a modern lens, resulting in a unique fusion that has captivated audiences worldwide. Their critically acclaimed album Silent Skies is Taiwan's best-selling soul/world music album, and they've received numerous accolades, including the Best World Music Performance at the China Music Awards and the Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Crossover Music.
With a signature "ceremonial" quality, HAYA creates an atmosphere of deep reflection and wonder, transporting audiences through evocative melodies and hypnotic rhythms.
Renowned for bridging cultures through music, HAYA has performed on prestigious stages worldwide. Their compositions evoke vast grasslands and nomadic heritage while exploring universal themes of love, longing, and belonging.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness HAYA Band's spellbinding artistry live for the first time in Australia, only at Festival of Voices.
