Mandopop: Qi Qi Ge (琪琪格)

Qi Qi Ge was born in Ordos in Inner Mongolia in 1984, and her mongolian heritage is very evident in her singing, with symbolism and texts very much praising the virtues of the prairie and its people. Still, she studied pop music in Beijing and particpated in a TV contest for music (in 2006) before releasing her first album. After that she has done musicals, acting and other performances. What caught my eye is the passionate "People of the Prairie", which she now even has made a dance edition of, perfect for teh KTV (karaoke) crowd. :-)
