Art beat ... finger on the pulse

Beijing

Songs of the city

Singer-songwriter Hao Yun has made a name for himself with urban folk songs. He will perform a new concert, Daydreaming, in Beijing. With his chatty lyrics and simple guitar playing, which are inspired by his life experiences from teaching music to motorcycle racing, the 35-year-old Beijing native has won a stable fan base since his first self-titled album in 2008. His biggest break came in early 2014, when he performed at the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
