InstrumentsToday I'm excited to share about two very different instruments: the banjo and the guzheng.
Each of these instruments has been around for a long time and has a place in folk music from their specific regsions. The banjo shows up in North American music genres like country, folk, blues, jazz, and sometimes rock. The guzheng features in Asian folk, traditional, pop, and rock music. In the video below you'll see two artists, Wu Fei & Abigail Washburn, put the guzheng and banjo together and blend the styles of both into one exciting song! You'll hear them play their instruments and then sing in both English and Chinese. Watch below to see!
