选好党支部 带动一村富（新时代·新作为）

Urna Chahar-Tugchi, known by her stage name Urna, has been singing for as long as she can remember. Long before she ever stepped onto a stage or recorded an album, her voice echoed across the grasslands of Ordos in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region—unaccompanied, spontaneous, and free.

As a child, she spent countless hours alone on horseback, tending to sheep or cattle. In that vast, open landscape, her only companions were the sky, the wind, and her own voice. She would sing—sometimes traditional Mongolian melodies, but often her own compositions, sounds that seemed to come from deep within her, or perhaps from beyond.

Her mother would ask,“What are you singing?”

Even then, it was clear—these were not inherited songs, but personal expressions, rooted in solitude, born of silence. This deeply instinctive, almost mystical relationship with her voice has stayed with Urna throughout her life.

Through her acclaimed career, which has taken her to more than 90 countries, she has collaborated with musicians from all over the world, creating rich, cross-cultural albums that blend tradition with innovation. But always, beneath the instruments and arrangements, there was something waiting—a quieter, more personal sound.
