Anda Union

As with all nomads, the Mongols have an oral culture, passed on generation to generation in stories, music, and songs. Thus, Anda Union sings its history. The band’s thoroughly addictive combination of Mongolian musical styles is a reflection of its roots.

Formed in 2000, Anda Union has influenced a generation of young Mongolians in Inner Mongolia as traditional music flourishes in the capital. Hailing from differing ethnic nomadic cultures, the ten-strong band unites tribal and music traditions from all over Inner Mongolia. It does so by bringing a wide range of musical instruments and vocal styles together in a fusion that Genghis Khan himself would have been proud of.
