One either likes it or hates it.
The challenge though is that one day such performance might be in vogue; the next day it might not.

I hate it I'm afraid, there's no melody and sounds like a bunch of primary school students. Then I had a shock: the liuqin player was my former teacher. Did you record this yourself?

I recorded it myself using a Sony RX100 Mk digital camera. There's this place in Taipei that I frequent on Saturday nights where they have mini-concerts for US$10. Concerts typically start at 7:30pm, and I usually arrive at 7pm to get a front seat.
That's the reason some of you may notice that I keep on showing videos of the exact same place over and over again. I wonder if you are shocked that he now has a beard. His picture on the CDs they were selling did not have a beard.

Part of the discussion during the Q&A session was in English because the Korean performer Gamin couldn't speak Chinese. I asked several questions about Korean court music in English, but felt that your teacher didn't do an excellent job translating my questions into Chinese for the rest of the audience. Nevertheless, this mini concert is unique because I haven't encountered a performance of a musician both singing and playing with a Chinese musical instrument. Certainly, I've seen plenty of people singing with their guitars.

I went to a Chinese opera with my mum a while ago and sat right at the back. Luckily we did since it was ear splittingly loud.
