Piano’s in NYC

Since forming in 2000, Shanren has energized Beijing’s small folk venues and performed at Barcelona Festival Asia in 2010, MIDEM in Cannes in 2011, and Liverpool Sound City in the UK. They’re staple headliners at China’s major music festivals and have been featured twice on Hunan Television, reaching an audience in the tens of millions.

Come experience the unique culture and music brought by Shanren, a Chinese ethnic rock band whose music fuses folk songs of Wa and Buyi minority tribes in Yunnan China with rock, SKA and reggae. Debuts at the Piano’s in NYC on March 6th for their first tour in North America.

The band has started a crowd-funding campaign for friends interested in hanging out with the band beyond shows. Donations will be used to offset the cost of plane tickets, hotels, and visa fees. Donors can choose limited-edition signed CDs, handmade tooth harps, drinks with the band, or even private acoustic concerts and featured names in Shanren’s coming new album if you like.

Energetic, fun, and exotic… Have a good time and experience fresh sounds of folk rock from China! For more: http://www.musicdish.com
