Silk Road Music’s highly crafted repertoire provides a close look at the relationship between Chinese and non-Chinese music of today. Audiences will journey with these well equipped cultural ambassadors and be mesmerized by Chinese melodies, thrilled by foot-tapping reels, romanced with a passionate Rumba while dancing to a Lakota love song. The world becomes one!
