a lovely cd. if you want to hear some thing different vocal techiques from China - more nasal than here. Gong Linna a very accomplished singer whose vocal acrobatics are a delight

Saw her in concert at the Kaustinen folk festival (Finland) more than ten years ago - great stage presence.

I've quite a few Chinese folk-song CDs and Chinese versions of western folk-songs (my wife is Taiwanese). Can't read the notes, however, but that's a small price to pay....... Nearly all with excellent dynamics. I don't know this one but will show my other third (she's quite short).
