I have not struck music notes here in a while.
Could Sa Dingding be the Chinese Bjork?
From Mongolia to the the world stage, This is another name I could have given to this piece.
According to Everything in the mix (David Honigmann, FT, April 12), Sa Dingding went from singing to the ewes in the grasslands of Mongolia to living in the big, big city…
For whatever reason in the US she becomes Dingding Sa, check her first album Alive…

In the interview, she says that "she is trying to describe a more abstract, more spirirual world".
With all the turmoil going around Tibet right now, she takes a leap and offers songs like Holy Incense in their Tibetan versions.
You Tube streams Alive (the song) in the Sanskrit version.
Is Sa Ding Ding: China’s next major export wonders Shangaist?
She just won a BBC World Music Award for the Asia Pacific region.
