Band overview
Band Coming from Yunnan, it is self-evident to choose such a name. They have the simplicity and sincerity of Shan, but not the majesty and arrogance of Shan. They are not even a rock band in the typical sense, but this is not important. At every performance in Beijing, the lead singer will always jokingly say that they are "F4 from Yunnan".
They knew they could not make fashionable music, so they kept their ears close to folk music. "Mountain people have their own tricks." Their music is just like their characters: simple and restrained, spiritually light and with a hint of cunning. There are no steel and concrete, cold feelings, no crazy men and women, only the simplest impulses, the most simple yearnings and the most instinctive confusions of the people of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, as well as the attachment to the mountains behind them. Life is hard, but their music and attitude towards making music are simple and even instinctive.
The band travels between Beijing and Kunming, and has performed at several Midi Music Festivals such as the 2nd Beijing Midi Music Festival, Lijiang Snow Mountain Music Festival, and the 7th MIDI Music Festival.
Back to the plateau, back to the folk, back to music. Please clean your ears, face the direction where the mountain people sing, and watch "The Big White Plane Flying across the Sky" under the pollution-free sky on the plateau, watch "Meng Fugui and Jia Meili" and "Live on the Edge of a Knife" , looking at the clear "Red Moon" of "Yi Village" through the sky full of stars
Shanren Band was founded by lead singer Qu Zihan and was established in 2000. At that time, the other two members of the band were bassists Nie Chang and drummer Xiao Ou later joined the keyboardist Tu, and Ai Yong also became a member of the Shanren band when they came to Beijing. Nie Chang and Tu Yu left the band, and then Xiao Bu Dian also joined the Shanren band.
