Ten years ago, I was fortunate to spend a week in Inner Mongolia. There, I was hosted by the traditional ensemble Anda Union. They not only shared with me their music (the horse-head fiddle, throat-singing, chang diao), but also their home and their way of life. I am forever grateful for Anda's generosity and friendship; Inner Mongolia remains a special place in my heart.
