Chaodu Chao'er: Qinggele

In the 1760s, the Mongolian Turkute people living in the Volga River basin, due to survival oppression from the Russian Empire, left their foreign land where they had lived for more than 140 years and embarked on the journey of returning to their homeland in the east. They overcame various difficulties and obstacles and settled on the banks of the Ili River in Xinjiang in the 1770s. In this song, the ancient and secluded tone of Chaodun Chao Er blends with the bass emitted by the performer from their throat, expressing with deep emotions the complex emotions of the Tuerhute people in their longing for their homeland in a distant foreign land, as well as their heroic journey back to the east.
