Olympic spirit – Chinese bluegrass

Event Details

2008 Olympic GamesWith so much of the world focused this week on the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, it seems fitting that a video of Chinese bluegrass has been posted on YouTube.

Here is Mei Han’s Red Chamber picking a solid version of Katy Hill along with John Reischman and the Jaybirds, taken from a concert this past spring.

Han is a noted master of the Chinese zheng, though she is performing on the liuqin in this video, posted by her record label, ZaDiscs.
