“ 蛮虎 ”代表着彝族人对虎的崇拜，也象征着对火的崇尚。乐队于 2003年成立于遥远而神秘的云南，乐队成员均为云南石林的彝族撒尼人，是一支国内特有的富有民族特色的乐队代表，成军多年来一直致力于发扬和传承民族音乐化，音乐创作上将民族文化元素与现代音乐元素相融合， 呈现了多种多样的音乐风格。 2016年正式签约 “云南淼木文化传播有限公司 ”，值得一提的是经过公司及多方协调努力，最终五月 “蛮虎乐队 ”接到邀约，将于 17年赴美参加为期三个月的文化演出交流。 Manhu present a fascinating reinvention of Yi music, most specifically from the Sani region of the Stone forest, Yunnan , China,ageographically cut of from other Yi populations and hence developing it’s own unique musical and cultural identity. Although often viewed as newcomers, Manhu have been playing together since 2003, at a time that other famous Yunnan bands had not even begun to experiment with traditional instruments. All the members are from the Sani people and are multi-instrumentalists, proficient in a range of Yi instruments. However, Manhu have chosen to present an upbeat imagining of how these often inaccessible traditions can be made adapted to a band situation. Featuring many locally iconic but internationally never before seen instruments, their sound is bewitching, leaving one puzzled that this kind of music should never have been exposed before. Truly authentic but highly creative, Manhu are great exponents of the little known but extremely rich Yi musical traditions.
