Review

This traditional Chinese musical form, also known as Hakka music, focuses on the sustained, sliding drone of stringed instruments combined with high-pitched reeds. After a time, it is clear that the spaces between sounds are as important as the notes themselves. The effect is haunting. ~ Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
