Manhu from China

Friday, October 5, 2018 || 7:30 p.m.

Manhu from China (700x125)

Hailing from the Stone Forest of Yunnan Province in southwestern China, Manhu brings to life the traditions of the Yi people, an ethnic minority group with a rich musical history. Playing the hulusheng, a mouth organ made from dried gourds, and even an ordinary leaf used as a reed, Manhu shares instruments and songs that are well-known in their homeland, but rarely seen on an international stage.

Free 30-minute special lecture precedes the performance at 6:30 p.m. in Babka Theatre.
