Pianist Lang is on his game in Rio

Acclaimed Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang said he wanted to bring Chinese music to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil as a personal gift to celebrate the sporting event.

Lang made the remarks on Friday before his Concert in Rio 2014 performance at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The concert was organized by the Brazilian government and Spanish tenor Placido Domingo.

Lang performed several works, including Tico Tico, one of the official songs of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, in front of thousands of people.
