SERGE TEYSSOT-GAY & XIE YUGANG

"A Nano World" Album release China tour 2018

谢玉岗 XIE YUGANG (惘闻 WANG WEN frontman - the most acclaimed Chinese instrumental rock band) meets SERGE TEYSSOT-GAY (legendary guitarist - co-founder of the French rock band NOIR DÉSIR) and that's probably the very first creation in between a musician from the Chinese alternative scene and the outside. They will touring in China to present their album : "A Nano World" - recorded in Paris in December 2017. That is definitely not a split or featuring record, that's a true and unique collaboration. "Some real magical power got into their music and words are all to dry to describe it" (Han Linlin).

XIAOHE: BRAND NEW YOU’RE RETRO concert documentary film

by Danni Goyan dannigoyan.com

Xiaohe, an iconic figure of chinese folk and avant-garde music in the 2000s, performed solo concerts around the world in an improvised way which blends folk, surrealistic and mystical elements. These distinctive shows brought unprecedented feelings and gave an unforgettable memory to the audience. Unexpectedly, in that night, we didn’t know yet it would be xiaohe’s last improvised solo concert. It took three years to realize that the chrysalis had been transfiguring. This artist would soon march on another spiritual realm…

Teaser here

Screening + talk with Xiaohe and Danni Goyan.

This screening - first planned on April 15th - has been postoned on Sunday May 6th.

LUCKY ROOTS

它来自遥远的牙买加，伴随着令人轻松愉悦的节奏，飞越万里来到古老的东方。Reggae音乐有着传统根源音乐的律动，让人不觉随之起舞。中华民乐又如山间浮云穿梭其中，让乐曲在旋律上更上一层楼。两者在不经意间完相辅相成，相倚而强，正是各种文化一次次的碰撞与融合造就了独一无二的LuckyRoots。

JahJahBless~One Love!

It comes from the distant Jamaica, with a relaxing and pleasant rhythm, flying over the ancient oriental.Reggae music has a traditional origin of the rhythm of the music, let people dance with it. Chinese folk music is like the mountain clouds shuttle which make music in the melody strive for further improvement. The two are not inadvertently finished complement each other, lean and strong. It is a variety of culture and time of collision and fusion created a unique Lucky Roots.

As early as the aftermath of the turbulent winds, there was an instrumental rock band that toured the mainland seven times. The audience returning from the scene praised them. The second China tour three years later was even harder to find - this band from California, The Album Leaf, reaped the hearts of countless audiences with its quiet, ethereal and majestic sounds.

In May this year, The Album Leaf once again planned an Asian tour and will come to China for the third time to start a five-city tour. Before the onset of summer, it will send a wave of breeze to Chinese fans.
