Chinese pop and folk singer and songwriter Han Hong will meet her fans Sunday morning at the Shenzhen Book City store in Nanshan.
The singer, of Tibetan origin, will promote her latest Mandarin album, Listen to My Voice and sign autographs.
The album, released in October, took seven years to complete. She invited an international crew to work on the album, including Keith Olsen, one of the most prolific and successful producers in the United States.
Chinese writer Guo Jingming wrote the lyrics for four tracks for the album. Han lauds the sharp and dignified work of Guo, a controversial figure who was once embroiled in a plagiarism lawsuit.
One of the most outstanding female singers in China, Han rose to fame in the late 1990s with her sonorous voice and has maintained her diva status since 2003. She also specializes in a variety of folk songs. Her signature works are Tibetan Plateau and Heaven’s Road.
She was born in Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet. Like her Tibetan mother, Han is able to shift quite easily from piercing high pitches to soft low tones.
She appeared in a Chinese television gala broadcast after the Olympic closing ceremony Aug. 24, 2008. She also performed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony Sept. 5, 2008.
