Jia Peng Fang - Mirage of the Fall

Leemos desde la web de Pacific Moon Records que habla de este disco:

Erhu has a history of about a thousand years. It is said that the instrument originated in the northern part of China. A bow, made with fibers from the horseÕs tail, is characteristically placed over the two steel chords and then the bow is rubbed against the chords to produce sounds. Instruments that produce sounds by rubbing the bow against chords, known as "rubbed string instruments," are found world-wide. And just as the violin is its representative instrument in Europe, Erhu is its representative in the East. Erhu is known as the "violin of the Orient."

Probablemente a nuestros oidos occidentales, el sonido del Erhu se nos antoje algo dificil de escuchar; lo que sí es seguro es que le da características regionales, achinando a cualquier melodía que se interprete con él.
Sin embargo el resultado es muy agradable, como podés comprobar hoy con esta excelente canción, que toma una base muy occidental de guitarra y ensemble (que es buenísima, por otra parte!) dejando la voz principal en el violín .
Desde el álbum Erhu. Que la disfrutes!
