“ 蠻虎 ”代表著彝族人對虎的崇拜，也象征著對火的崇尚。樂隊于 2003年成立于遙遠而神秘的云南，樂隊成員均為云南石林的彝族撒尼人，是一支國內特有的富有民族特色的樂隊代表，成軍多年來一直致力于發揚和傳承民族音樂化，音樂創作上將民族文化元素與現代音樂元素相融合， 呈現了多種多樣的音樂風格。 2016年正式簽約 “云南淼木文化傳播有限公司 ”，值得一提的是經過公司及多方協調努力，最終五月 “蠻虎樂隊 ”接到邀約，將于 17年赴美參加為期三個月的文化演出交流。 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.
