About Kou Chou Ching:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nMCs fishLIN and Fan Chiang spitting binglan flavored rhymes in the
\nisland’s myriad languages over samples as diverse as opera and
\nclassical music as well as Taiwanese folk songs and oldies. The
\nrecordings also feature acoustic sounds from the souna and occasional
\nlive drum tracks which gives the album a brighter more festive feel.
\nThe music is always rooted in Taiwan while the lyrics approach the
\nhumor of late night talk radio and karaoke bar conversation yet the
\ntone is kept serious enough to let you know they are breaking cultural
\nbarriers as well as generational gaps. When you listen to KOU CHOU
\nCHING you hear real Asian hip hop using the sounds of their ancestors.<\/p>\n
About Hsu-nami<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Hsu-nami is an international renowned progressive rock band from
\nthe United States. The Hsu-nami, named after the frontman Jack Hsu,
\nbecame known as the first \u201cProgressive Erhu Rock\u201d band in the world.
\nThe Hsu-nami integrates an amplified \u201derhu\u201d, a two-string spike fiddle
\nused in Chinese classical and folk music, into an instrumental
\nprogressive rock sound. Their music is marked by virtuosic erhu
\nmelodies and shredding licks, in place of vocals, as intertwined by
\nheavy guitar riffs, tasteful guitar solos, funky rhythms, and
\nmetal-driven rock drumming. Part of the new-fusion rock movement, the
\nHsu-nami redefines the 1960s and 1970s fusion rock sound.
\nHsu-nami\u2019s music was featured in the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing.
\nThe track \u201cRising of the sun\u201d was the theme music representing the
\nChinese Basketball team entrance theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AsianinNY.com is a proud Media Sponsor with this event: The Music of Taiwan!
