All Around This World heaps high praise on a transcendent Western Chinese musician, Mamer.
Mamer is a Kazakh who hails from Xinjiang where he lives on the grasslands, plays the dombura and finds musical inspiration. Mamer’s 2009 debut album, Eagle, seamlessly blends Kazakh folk music with Western alt-country, ushering in the age of an entire new genre of music called Chinagrass. Listen to Eagle. It’s fantastic.
