Hailing from the grasslands of Western China, Mamer is a legendary figure from China's underground music scene. Described as the 'Lou Reed of the grasslands', Mamer's music combines traditional Kazakh folk melodies and instruments with Western and traditional Chinese instruments. Mamer's band 'IZ' is credited with single-handedly kickstarting China's alt-country scene and has influenced a huge range of acts including Mongol-crossover pioneers, Hanggai. 'Eagle' is Mamer's first solo album.
