About two decades ago, Ye Yunchuan traveled to China's western Gansu province to see the famous Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.
The Chengdu-born and Beijing-based music producer returned home with more than just a camera full of photos - he also gained an inspiration to create a Dunhuang-themed album.
Featuring seven young Chinese female folk musicians - Zhao Xiaoxia (guqin), Yang Xue (erhu), Su Chang (guzheng), Yu Yuanchun (pipa), Li Juan (flute and xiao), Di Lin (ruan) and Ma Rui (percussion) - this album will finally be released on June 6.
