Early life

edit

Bayaer displayed musical talent as a child. His parents and neighbors encouraged him to perform in front of the local community when he was six years old. His official musical education did not begin until age fifteen when he joined a school musical troupe. This is where he was introduced to different types of music including Mongolian songs, Revolutionary songs and Peking Opera.[1] His song "Lucky Treasures", written in 1994,[2] became popular in China. The song, originally, sung in Mongolian, was translated to Mandarin Chinese (simplified Chinese: 吉祥三宝; traditional Chinese: 吉祥三寶; pinyin: Jixiang sanbao) and was released shortly after.

Bayaer and his wife Wurina were directors of the Hulunbeier Children's Choir.[3] Uudam, their adopted son, was a singer in the choir.[citation needed] Their daughter, Norma, is a singer in China.[citation needed] Uudam and Nurma's cousin Enigma is also a singer.

Bayaer died on September 19, 2018, at the age of 58 due to a cardiac infarction.[4]
