Pale Ink and Guqin, Zebrafish and Chinese Music

NAGA presentation 1aug04, Union City Library, San Francisco

Yaji event at NAGA

Very interesting event, among the remarkable people are:

a jazz guitarist who lives in South Pole, uses Guqin techniques to play his improvisations / a monk who spks Chinese and dresses in his yellow monk robe / a very fluent yg man who moves in and out of Chinese>American culture without any slips / a Japanese singer with his bf he jokes in Japanese / a yg man who helped me film our presentation using very gd low angles / youthful audiences who appreciate our work / older audience questions our authenticity and the purpose of our work / George Shen lets me know that it is important to explain our "raison d'etre" to not have misunderstandings... / a man who was there in Beijing when the first YaJi was in place / conclusion: every event is a rich assembly of people /  Last but not least: the PiPa master player had fingers and sounds - wah... a truly precious display of virtuoisity, its yaji nature, informal, enthusiastic generates so much aura.  Wang Fei invites a special group to her home to continue with the concert - I appreciated this gathering very much and would like to meet them again when I get to San Fran sometime.

Pale Ink and Guqin, Zebrafish and Chinese Music presentations

We did it, infront of expert guqin players!  the  young ones really enjoyed it, the older ones either pooh-poohed it, dont know why we are doing this, or indifferent.  It was nice meeting everybody.  We were invited to participate in later yajis but alast, we live too too far!
