The fusion of Nei Mongol music and pop music

-- A case study of Nine Treasures

Abstract

With the dissemination and development of diversified pop music, Chinese traditional music has been skillfully fused with it. Music creators combine Nei Mongol traditional music elements with pop music elements, or integrate pop music elements into traditional Mongolian songs, enabling Mongolian music to introduce new ideas and step onto the international stage constantly. Taking the Nine Treasures as an example, a folk metal band singing in Mongolian, this paper studies the creation and adaptation of its music. This paper analyzes how it combines pop music elements such as heavy metal with traditional Inner Mongolian ethnic music, taking two songs, Namindalai and Tes River's Hymn, as examples, to explore the integration of Nei Mongol music and pop music.
