The Guo Brothers and Shung Tian
62310 Real World
Music of rural China, evoking intense moods of
peace and sadness, with fresh arrangements by brothers from a musical family
dispossessed by the Cultural Revolution.
The Guo Brothers' repertoire ranges from ancient Chinese tunes to modern, popular compositions. It takes the listener on a journey from the vast plains of Mongolia to the most remote mountain villages. Music has always been a vital part of The Guo Brothers' lives and they trained from a young age under conditions of hardship and poverty in Peking. Having mastered many instruments, Yue now
specializes in Chinese flutes, while Yi plays the ancient sheng, a hand-held, mouth-blown organ. Drawing upon these ancient traditions, the album also gives space and expression to fresh arrangements and free improvisation. It represents a unique collaboration with producer Pól Brennan, Irish musician and songwriter, and former member of Clannad.
