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.

Overview

Dadawa a.k.a. Zhu Zheqin (朱哲琴) (born 15 July 1968) is a Chinese musician, sound artist and independent producer. She has also served as a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador. Dadawa established SOUND LAB at Shanghai's Tongji University, Institute of Architecture and Design, where she is an adjunct professor. Over the past 20 years, with music as her point of departure, Dadawa is noted for her crossover artistic exploration.
