Hanggai is an Inner Mongolian folk music group from Beijing who specializes in a blend of Mongolian folk music and more modern styles such as punk rock.

NPR radio states that in a country where genres such as c-pop dominate mainstream airwaves, Hanggai Band is making new inroads into the Chinese music industry with their unique and modern take on Mongolian folk music. Some of the members are ethnic Mongolians while the remaining are ethnic Han who specializes in Mongolian instruments. 

All of the members hail from Inner Mongolia and Beijing. The term "Hanggai" itself is a Mongolian word referring to an idealized natural landscape of sprawling grasslands, mountains, rivers, trees, and blue skies. The band was created when leader Ilchi, captivated by the sound of throat singing and wanting to rediscover his ethnic heritage, traveled to Inner Mongolia to learn the art. It was there that he met fellow band members Hugejiltu and Bagen. 

In an interview with NPR Ilchi stated that "Most of our people have moved away from the old way of life…After moving to the cities, many of us have gradually been subjected to a very strong cultural invasion by an oppressive culture. So this traditional music has completely lost its space."
