A talented young band, called Esinaba, became one of the top 10 winners at a national music competition this year. The band came from Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture(阿坝藏族羌族自治州), Sichuan. The band's name means "azalea flower" in the Qiang language.
The band was formed in March last year. It is made up of six children, including lead singer Li Guoran, guitarist Zhang Ruixiang, and drummer(鼓手) Qiu Zixin, with an average age of 10.
"The original(起初的) purpose of forming a band was to make music class interesting. Our goal is to make folk music popular so that this beautiful music can reach more people," says Ha Xue, a music teacher at two local primary schools. She adds that one of the members in the band is Yu Mengxiaofeng, who plays a Qiang musical instrument made of sheepskin.
