Chinese New Year

Helloo ....today ( 02/07) New Year is celebrated in China . Year of the rat , which by the way, Rat is my chinese sign ...

To pay a tribute to this day , I will share with you some nice videos of a local band I like a lot and a Chinese New Years documentary .

With you ... Twelve Girls Band in Forbidden City :





Twelve Girls Band is just great, these girls are recruted very young across China . They play old instruments (guzheng ,flute,koto ,etc) in a contemporary way .I prefer when they go more traditional but there are people that love this mix of old and new . The song above is called 'Xiang1 Ge2 Li3 La1'

Another cool one , these girls rock , dont they ? There are loots of TGB performances on you tube ....they vary from these traditional songs to cold play (clocks)!

Intriguing culture ! As they say , year of the rat is a prosperous one ...lets hope it really is :D

Well, Happy New Year to all of you ...again !!

Be well

xx
