Flutes Around the World | The Chinese Bawu

Next up on our "flutes" around the world journey is the Chinese bawu! This is the Lusheng Dance, or the Lusheng Wu, performed by Tereasa Payne.
The bawu is a Chinese wind instrument. Although shaped like a flute, it is actually a free reed instrument, with a single metal reed. It has a pure, clarinet-like timbre and its playing technique incorporates the use of much ornamentation, particularly bending tones.
The popular Lusheng dance was either a women's dance accompanied by men playing or women and men dancing to their own music. Also Wushu activities and some extremely difficult acrobatic feats of the Miao people have been assimilated into the Lusheng dance which is especially loved by the masses. Now the Lusheng dance has become the necessary activity at the jubilant festivals of the Miao people. Find more information on Lusheng instrument and dance history here: bit.ly/3rF6y9A
