Chinese New Year Music

[paulv]

Hi Everyone, and Happy New Year (Tiger).

I went thru the 4 videos on YT looking for some erhu playing but didn't find anything this year. But on the 4th of 4 videos I saw some interesting music worth sharing with forum members (the instrument has 3 strings).

Here you go:

Enjoy.

Put this into the YT search engine: "2022 元宵戏曲晚会" (don't need the quotes)

I once learnt a tune for Chinese New Year and what I remember of it was that it was played at an incredible speed. Bamboogrove's idea was to have different amateur musicians play different instruments, record them individually and put them all together. I chose to play the liuqin over the dizi and let's just say I wouldn't do it again.
