Strings and songs

China's popular guitarist and singer Kerman (pictured) will hold a concert in Beijing titled Legend of Loulan. A Uygur musician from Xinjiang, Kerman has released a number of CDs and performed at music festivals both at home and abroad. He also composed music for a number of films, including Hong Kong director Tsui Hark's Missing the Movie. Kerman has blended local musical idioms with flamenco techniques. Most of the songs on the program of his concert will be his own compositions. Violinist Zhang Shaobo and singer Xu Qianya will join the concert as special guests.
