TAIGA is an electronic music duo from Inner Mongolia and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Originally, it was a folk band comprised of four members. In 2014, the two multi-instrumentalists Xi Leilei and Husile met each other and in 2017 they took up the project and regularly perform live at many festivals around the world such as Strawberry Fest, Wheatfield Festival, South by Southwest (SXSW), ISIS Garden Festival.
Their compositions fuse the traditional ethnic sounds and its contemporary approach to create their own nomadic psychedelic music. Rooted in the Mongolian traditions and musical heritage, they combine Khoomei throat singing technique, instruments such as the morin khuur (horse-head fiddle), the Tuvan doshpuluur lute, bass drums and guitars, all with influences from dub, broken beats, progressive, ambient, trance and electronic dance music. Each composition conveys a message and is a gateway to their authentic world and vision of life.
Since moving to the party-hard city of Chengdu in 2019, TAIGA has evolved from a folk band into a late-night club wildcard, impressing crowds with their unique, multi-instrumental live show and developing a large and diverse fanbase.
