Sa Dingding (China)

China’s Sa Dingding takes to the stage alongside 21st century DJs, martial artists and oriental dancers. Singing in Mandarin, Sanskrit, Tibetan and an entirely self-created language, Dingding’s haunting vocals bring to mind the simply unforgettable beauty of Chinese tradition, alongside smoky lo-fi electronica.

Sa Dingding has sold over 2 million albums worldwide and is the 2008 winner of the BBC Radio 3 World Music Award Asia.
