junebee Posted January 27, 2005 at 01:30 AM Report Posted January 27, 2005 at 01:30 AM Has anyone heard this group? They are completely awesome! You can get their CDs locally at Best Buy or on yesasia.com. Anyone know anything about them - what part of China they're from, etc? Quote
liuzhou Posted January 27, 2005 at 02:00 AM Report Posted January 27, 2005 at 02:00 AM 女子十二乐坊 I picked up a DVD of one of their concerts last week, mainly because of what I had read on various websites. Personally, I wasn't impressed. They play both Chinese and Western Music on traditional Chinese instruments - something they do very competently. However, in the end, everything is reduced to a bland similarity. High class, gimmicky supermarket music. They DO look good though. How successful would they have been otherwise? There is an informative article here. Quote
Bob Dylan Thomas Posted January 27, 2005 at 03:19 PM Report Posted January 27, 2005 at 03:19 PM i agree with liuzhou. i'm a big fan of classical chinese music (erhu, guqin etc), and on a friend's advice i bought a 女子十二乐坊 CD, and it's shite. Bland pop bullshit. Avoid like the plague. Quote
