The Dashanzi International Art Festival is in progress, and this week and this month there are three music events that look very interesting.
This Friday (2005-05-13), Yan Jun has organized a night of electronic and experimental music.
ORGANIZER: Xiao He, Lao Yang, Li Jianhong, Sun Lei (718)
ARTISTS: Marqido (Japan), Zhang Jian, Wu Quan, Wang Fan, Yan Jun, 718, Li Jianhong, Lanzhou Noise Society, Wang Changchun, Jackson Garland (USA), Eugene Martynec (Canada)
I'm really excited about this.
The show is at the White Theatre, which I assume is somewhere in Dashanzi, although I don't know where.
The following night (Saturday, 2005-05-14) features Sichuan electronic musician Wang Lei with, oddly enough, Cui Jian playing trumpet.
Wang Lei, the Sichuan electronic music star who is gaining more and more appreciation, will perform with Cui Jian on the trumpet. The duo worked so well in Beijing last autumn that both stars want to go on working together, this time for DIAF 2005. DJ Girls will give a little international feel to the whole
Ooh! DJ Girls!
This one's at the Yan Club, also in Dashanzi.
And the following Saturday (2005-05-21), Xiao He has organized a night with what seems to be every single folk musician in Beijing:
ORGANIZER: Xiao He
ARTISTS: IZ, Hu Mangge, Zuo Mingliang, Zhong Lifeng, Zhu Fangqiong, Wan Xiaoli, Yelang, Wang Juan, Zhou Yunpeng, Du Kun and Xiao He.
At the White Theatre.
No excuses, folks. In the span of a week and a day you'll be able to see the people behind Beijing's new music scene and the folk scene, and Cui Jian will play trumpet.
