These traditional Chinese melodies and Buddhist mantras played on electronic instruments have sold two million copies in China
Alive is a mix of Tibetan, Mandarin and Sanskrit built around traditional Chinese folk music, exquisitely executed with refined use of programmed electronic sounds and beats in tandem with Chinese instrumentation creating a totally original blend. One of the hardest things to achieve is the marriage between modern arrangement and traditional instrumentation and melodies. On " Alive" Sa Dingding has achieved this with exceptional grace.

| Yol Bolsin is an intriguing new export traveling west on Asia's Silk Road. The debut of 25-year-old Uzbeki singer and doutar player Sevara Nazarkhan, the album combines the rich musical tradition of her Central Asian country and fuses it with the modern sounds of noted French-Algerian producer Hector Zazou. Like much of the best stuff to come out on Real World, the combination here is timely and timeless, with Zazou's modern sounds simply providing a tasteful backing to the plucked, lutelike lines of Nazarkhan and fellow doutar player Toir Kuziyev. A pop star in Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan, Nazarkhan has a soaring, conservatory-trained voice that conveys myriad emotions with range and an intonation enriched with deft shading. |
