Shaanxi Folk Culture Symphon Orchestra is a high-level professional team whose members are mainly young artists.

Shanren
Shanren is one of China’s largest indie folk bands of the moment. Shanren mixes indigenous music with modern styles, and bring this with a variety of traditional instruments such as the Xianzi, Qinqin and Dabiya (four-stringed plucked instruments) and Xianggu and Sun drum (percussion).
AM444
AM444 sounds like the Chinese cousin of Björk who meets the Dutch half brother of J Dilla, or Grace Jones makes a boat trip with Little Dragon from England to Shanghai. Diverse and increasingly difficult to put in one genre, but always soulful, dreamy vocals in Chinese and hip-hop, funk and electro driven dubby beats as a thread.
Listen to the interviews with Shanren and AM444!
