Manhu present a fascinating reinvention of Yi music, most specifically from the Sani region of the Stone forest, Yunnan , China,ageographically cut of from other Yi populations and hence developing it’s own unique musical and cultural identity. Although often viewed as newcomers, Manhu have been playing together since 2003, at a time that other famous Yunnan bands had not even begun to experiment with traditional instruments.
All the members are from the Sani people and are multi-instrumentalists, proficient in a range of Yi instruments. However, Manhu have chosen to present an upbeat imagining of how these often inaccessible traditions can be made adapted to a band situation. Featuring many locally iconic but internationally never before seen instruments, their sound is bewitching, leaving one puzzled that this kind of music should never have been exposed before. Truly authentic but highly creative, Manhu are great exponents of the little known but extremely rich Yi musical traditions.
