My Take
Dadawa, or Zhu Zheqin, is the kind of artist who expands your sense of what music can be. A Guangzhou-born singer and composer, she treats the voice as raw material, weaving Tibetan and minority traditions into genuinely boundary-crossing work. The detail I keep returning to is her role as a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador and her sound lab at a Shanghai university, signs that she sees music as something to connect people, not just perform. I have a real soft spot for artists who step lightly over borders and conventions, and she does exactly that with quiet, deliberate purpose.
