Pang Long is currently one of the most famous recording artists in Mainland China. His first single "Two Butterflies," from the album "Two Scalewings," was released in late 2004 and accumulated nearly 1.5 million legal ringtone downloads in China in one month (May 2005) as well as becoming the number one most requested Karaoke songs. Born in Northeast China, Pang Long studied guitar all throughout his teenage years. His father wanted him to concentrate on his education so one day he threw Pang Long's guitar into the trash. It took a little while, but he began playing music again after his father's passing. Today, he is a versatile musician in guitar, bass, piano and voice. Having self-produced a one-song demo, Pang Long was signed to Beijing Birdman Entertainment Co. (Nan He Wendou; Chang Hai) in 1999 and soon after released his first album "Li Li." During the SARS outbreak in 2003 when all live performances in China were halted, he devoted most of his time to teaching voice and writing new songs. After the enormous success of "Two Scalewings" in 2005, Birdman released his third album "You Are My Rose" in January 2006 featuring the hit single of the same name.

Inspired by traditional Mongolian music, Hanggai plays many Mongolian instruments including the morinkhuur (horse-head fiddle) and the tobshuur (two-stringed plucked instrument) alongside guitar, bass and drums. They also use the traditional Mongolian singing style of khoomei (overtone singing in which a single person can produce two or more vocal parts by causing sympathetic vibration through sustained singing of low tones). Many of their songs are about beauty of the environment, highlighting the Mongolian culture's deep love of nature.

The group is made up of Zhang Zhang (keys), Bei Bei (guitar), DJ Xiao Dong, DJ Huang Tong, DJ Michael and DJ Chen Shen. Nature High's intention is to deliver a message of health, harmony, passion, and nature.

Their follow-up album, "The Spirit of Wind," will be released in the fall of 2006 and will include many more trance and chill out grooves.

Mei Lanfang
A Peking Opera legend, Mei Lanfang (1894-1961) remains a household name in China. Born into a family of Peking Opera and Kunqu performers, Mei began studying Peking opera at the age of eight. After being told by his teacher that he held little career promise due to his lackluster eyes, Mei practiced his eyes persistently and managed to make them look bright, keen, and highly expressive. A master of singing, dancing, and acting, Mei rose to national fame before the age of 20. A highly accomplished female impersonator, Mei performed almost all kinds of the Dan (female) roles, ranging from Qingyi (graceful female roles) to Huadan (vivacious young female roles). In his 50-year stage life, Mei played over 100 characters in the Peking Opera repertoire. Mei's effortless, perfectly timed, self-assured style has come to be known as the "Mei School." Mei was accredited as the first artist to introduce Peking Opera to an overseas audience. Mei's exotic but exquisite performance won him great acclamation abroad (like the US). A virtuoso of Peking Opera, Mei also wrote many new Peking Opera plays.
