Harmonica, a South Korean classical music band, has been winning hearts in Shanghai with their moving performances.
But one would not be able to find their album at record stores. This group of musicians can't be found in conventional theaters either they ply their trade in public, along the streets of Shanghai, as buskers.
"I still remember that a beggar cried during our band's first performance, and the little girl who sells flowers along the Bund gave us a flower as a gift," said Han Jong-su, the violinist of the band. "Within 20 minutes, we received about 400 yuan ($58.7) from the audience. Everyone was applauding us."
