The Magical Voice From Mongolia Urna collaboration with Jerzy Bawol [Accordeon] (Poland) & Keyvan Chemirani [Zarb, Daf, Udo] (Iran, France)
Song Lyrics - Sangjidorji
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sangjidorji was one of the most famous freedom fighters from Ordos
He who has good cattle for milking,
For him flows milk which turns into butter.
He who has a good heart within, to him
Children will be born, helping hands.
The Steppe covered in corn is a gift from heaven.
Fatty meats and noble foods are refreshment for the mouth.
The corn, when ripe, we will harvest.
Buddha's teaching, when it unfolds, we will follow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Urna was born into a family of herders in the grasslands of the Ordos Plateau in Inner Mongolia, a society where song was a ubiquitous part of everyday life. She now performs around the world, and is based in Bavaria, Germany and in Cairo, Egypt. In 2003, she was awarded the RUTH prize in Germany for Best International Artist.
