Chinese musicians to play Latino
China will meet Latin America in a musical extravaganza at the closing ceremony of the 14th Meet in Beijing Arts Festival at the National Center for the Performing Arts.
On May 25, a group of musicians from the China National Orchestra will play 13 compositions from 18 Latin American countries, including Uruguay, Mexico and Cuba. The show will bring the curtains down on a festival where more than 20 troupes and 190 bands from more than 30 countries performed at various locations in the city throughout the month.
The Chinese artists will use traditional Chinese folk instruments, such as the erhu (a traditional two-stringed bowed instrument), pipa (a four-stringed musical instrument), sheng (a free reed instrument played with the mouth) and ruan (a plucked string instrument) to perform the Latin music feat.
