Chinese folk singer Sa Dingding announced that she will stage a concert at the People's Great Hall in Beijing on May 2, with hits from her two well-received albums, "Alive" and "Harmony" on the repertoire.

"Alive", released in 2007, is a collection of songs with a theme on nature and Buddhism. Sa sings in Tibetan, Sanskrit, Mandarin and a language she created herself. The album won the singer a BBC World Music Award in 2008.

Her following album, "Harmony", released last year, continues the ethnic sound. Before the album officially went on sale, Sa released a preview of it on iTunes. The album then took just two days to top the iTunes' "World Music" chart, according to the singer's Web site.

The musician said Beijing show starts her world tour in 2011. Known for her unique folk sound, Sa has devoted herself to capturing the sounds of Eastern-style rhythms by borrowing musical elements from her daily life. "It just could be the sound of the wind on the grassland or euphonious melody played by herdsmen," explained by Sa Dingding.
