The sound in this place is out ...Gig of the Year!!<br /><br />The sound in this place is out of this world. It puts any other Beijing music venue to shame. At one point there were 11 musicians on stage, a mixture of American, Mongolian and Chinese stringed instruments of various kinds and every single one could be heard. Abigail has the voice of an angel (I'm sorry to say it, but she makes another local country girl sound like a 2 year old singing nursery rhymes!) <br />And the finale, Hanggai's drinking song with mixed with bluegrass, who would of thought this could work so well? <br /><br />Definitely worth the 15 mins in the rain fighting for a taxi, arguments with the driver over where he was going and walk through ankle deep water around a dark, un-signposted art zone.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214562943898035485noreply@blogger.com
