A concert "Sounds of Grasslands" held by the Mongolian singer Buren Bayaer and his family presented a splendid performance at the music hall of Inner Mongolia Normal University, on May 20, leading the audience through a mixture of nomadic melodies. Organized by the University and M?GRASS, a grassland ecology restoration company, the concert is intended to call people's love to grassland and the nature.

Buren Bayaer's family is known for the song The Auspicious Three, which won second place at 2006 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and they made their second CCTV spring gala show in 2016 with the song Spring Comes.

This time at the campus, beside The Auspicious Three and Spring Comes, the family also brought with them a string of other songs, showcasing the diversity of Mongolian music and highlighting the unique style of the Mongolian prairie.

Students from the university greeted the family with their special performance in Chinese new folk music, Mongolian dance, solo, matouqin (or horse-headed fiddle) and a cappella.

Inner Mongolia Normal University and the M?GRASS have done a lot of work on grassland ecological protection in various forms these years and say they will organize more such cultural and artistic activities with the theme next.
