Shangri-La (Wang Leehom album)

Shangri-La (Chinese: 心中的日月; pinyin: xīnzhōng de rìyuè) is an album by Taiwanese-American R&B artist, Leehom Wang. It was released on 31 December 2004 by Sony Music Taiwan. In this album, Wang incorporated the often unheard music of the Chinese ethnic minorities and therefore began the first chapter of "chinked-out", a term he coined together to represent the ties between Chinese and Western music. He experimented with the tribal sounds of Taiwan, Tibet, and Mongolia, traveling the area carrying 15 kg of equipment while fighting bouts of altitude and food sickness.
