Bio

Delehei

Born in the volcanic grasslands of Chahar, deep in the heart of Inner Mongolia, Delehei has taken up the mantle of a musical explorer. His life’s work is a mesmerizing journey of discovery and innovation – unearthing the ancient rhythms, melodies, and techniques of Mongolian roots music, and reviving traditional instruments on the brink of extinction.

From the rhythmic, primal strumming of the Morin Khuur, the hauntingly ethereal sounds of the Xiudugri and Yougen Khuur, to the percussive notes of the Bongdun Chaer, Delehei’s music transcends time and space. His unique “one-man band” blends the mysterious and ancient Khoomai singing style with the symphony of his instruments, brought to life through the seamless synchronization with modern synthesizing equipment.

No concert hall or stage is too big or small for Delehei’s grand symphony. He has taken his mesmerizing sounds and performances to over ten countries, including the vibrant streets of Europe, the cultural melting pot of the United States, the wide-open expanses of Australia, the futuristic cityscapes of Japan, and the remote, tranquil lands of Tuva. His music paints a vivid picture of Mongolian folk heritage in an unprecedented form, sharing it with the world, one note at a time.

Delehei’s performances are a testament to his unrivaled mastery of more than ten instruments such as the Morin Khuur, Xiudurige,

Chaoer, Uxukur, bow khuur, Dun Chao-er, Mongolian drum, and electronic synthetic drum. With the ingenious use of LoopStation live recording equipment, he creates a musical tapestry so diverse and complex, it rivals the harmony of any full-size band. Yet, his music maintains an unparalleled integrity of soul and a unique attitude, for it is a one-man symphony, crafted by a single pair of hands and a heart filled with passion.

“Mongolian music is a love song to the universe,” Delehei muses. It echoes the whispers of the winds sweeping the vast plains, the thunderous roars of the mighty mountains, the serene silence of the clear, starlit nights. It tells stories of love – love between heaven and earth, and love between human beings. Through his music, Delehei hopes to capture the spirit of Mongolian culture – its atmosphere of freedom, its vastness, its unbroken connection to nature.

Join Delehei on his extraordinary musical odyssey, as he weaves tales of a time forgotten and cultures unexplored. Immerse yourself in the profound soundscapes of his one-man symphony, and let the rhythm and melody transport you to the heart of the Nomadic Soul.
