jambalaya-Chinese bluegrass band Erhu and banjo

bluegrass music banjo flatpicking guitar fiddle chinese instrument country music
This is first time I try the Erhu to instead of fiddle in the bluegrass band

[@user-uv9fz5rw4z]

A talented Chinese group playing Appalachian style music about life in south Louisiana. What a world we live in.

[@grumpygrumpgrump136]

Only thing is they need to do some grinning along with that fine picking. I love this stuff.

[@GeneRogers-di6cl]

Here again! 😊 They play great music!

[@kiolabear]

This version by a Chinese band just brings a smile to my face.

[@pezzhysa]

What if the perfomers could show us some smiling ? It would be a 100 % better ;)

[@napoleoncava9805]

Talentous musicians. To be chinise , excelent! and yet, they soun american!

[@jewishchristian4308]

I never thought in a million years that I'd find a Chinese band playing jambalaya by hank williams. This is so cool, thank you so much!!!

[@MichaelLasotaTW]

Music crosses boundaries.

[@bigredracingdog466]

I can die in peace now knowing that I've officially seen everything.

[@gotmilk91]

I've seen an all-Chinese band from Beijing called 'The Timely Band' do this song in 1988-89 and did very well and very animated with strong rhythm section including drums worthy of a country dance hall.

[@compashinpei]

They are actually Taiwanese. The musical instrument is Chinese.

[@markpavlowski7223]

Their speciality…create nothing...copy…copy...stunningly note perfect 'n' deadly dull...you also see it in their classical pianists/violinists

[@dillinpicklesworth5698]

As an appalachia native, I absolutely enjoy and appreciate other cultures enjoying our music and culture, and y'all done a fine job 💯👍👍😁❤

[@danor6812]

Such a sweet voice. That Erhu sounds great in Bluegrass.

[@peopleofonefire9643]

I love them! I live in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains. They can come over tomorrow afternoon for some barbecue, Brunswick stew, green beans and sweet Ice Tea!

[@bobbyhathorn8847]

The Erhu worked out great!!! Keep on with your Music-the sky's the limit!!!

[@KhoiNguyen-lc1vi]

Who said that East could not meet West? Splendid rendition especially of the erhu. Never thought the erhu could fit into a western orchestra!

[@williamaustin1]

Outstanding performance of a great song. As a lifelong Hank Williams fan, I am blown away.

[@iamhe999]

Wow.. very very good..

[@madroschannel]

It’s probably AI. 😂

[@Blackdog222]

As someone who has lived a significant portion of my life in Louisiana, I wholeheartedly approve. Well done.

[@woodyturgid]

The Erhu should become a required bluegrass instrument from now on. Fantastic rendition!

[@eventtrading]

Yes!

[@nomaddave6555]

Bravo!

[@weswolever7477]

Agreed!

After listening a few times i finally appreciate the stunning beauty of this music: the soft, yet passionate, singing and the understated playing. China has many beautiful things.

[@StephenWitharose]

Beautiful propaganda.

[@johntung789]

This is not an easy song to sing, but the singer did a great job! And the musicians are so talented! Great job everyone!

[@GaryAa56]

That was a great rendition! Such a soft beautiful voice!

[@loreman7267]

Excellent but please smile.

[@Calcouk]

Amazing erhu part and cool laid back banjo. That soothing lyric and immaculate bass completes the song. Very nice indeed! :)

[@elderhiker7787]

Well that was fun. I really enjoyed their version of this Hank Williams classic. I didn't know what an erhu is until now, but I liked its sound and the talent it takes to play this instrument. Everything was just great. Double-thumbs up to this group.

[@ericshi2472]

Thanks ！🤝

[@MsNickie1001]

As a long time hank Williams and bluegrass fan, I agree. They’re darn good!

[@sheilabennett8953]

I loved it but wish I could have seen some smiles knowing they were enjoying making the music as much as I was enjoying listening to it. Did love the erhu too! Added a really nice touch.

[@robertpowell4802]

I agree with a few other commenters. First excellent job,very talented. And definitely smile! You are beautiful people,so have fun and show it!❤👍

[@rogerlemagnifique7415]

@@ericshi2472 Too solemn, a little smile from time to time, feel the music, feel what you sing and it will be perfect, good job, sorry for my constructive criticism.

[@jamesgraff6259]

Betsy has the voice of an angel. She has a blend of EmmyLou H and Alisonn K. She needs to be heard much more

[@22knightx]

Emmylou crossed my mind too as I listened. Silky smooth vocals

[@mellissadalby1402]

These kids are awesome! Very nicely done. Their stage presence is rather subdued, but that could be a cultural thing. It's all good.

[@johntait491]

Excellent musicianship. Well done. 👍

[@julianhermanubis6800]

I love these guys and what they're doing. It's a cultural mash-up that works.

That is one of the most beautiful versions of this song I have ever heard. Keep jamming all of you.

[@seanjohnson4039]

Absolutely adorable! Wonderful, but you might try smiling a little more as part of the group stage presence.😃😀😄😇😄😆

[@dianaacademia9493]

Excellent and the singer has a very good voice... and fitted this song...

[@user-ey7jo8cz1o]

Hank would be mighty proud !!!

[@samuelernestberg4032]

How 'bout that? Blue grass music from China. That was a beautiful performance by the singer and blue grass band. Singer has a nice calm soft voice. You all make Hank Williams proud. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@StephenWitharose]

Meanwhile ol Hank is turning in his grave.

[@williamstyers4264]

Completely blown away. I grew up on Bluegrass and old school country. You folks are terrific. Wonderful blending of traditional bluegrass instruments with ethnic instruments. Loved every note and lyric!!

[@fredrohdes2620]

The girl on the "fiddle" tore it up!

[@loquat44-40]

@@fredrohdes2620 I was wondering what kind of fiddle that was lol.

[@lseger62]

Nice!

[@A_Bit_of_Thought]

@@fredrohdes2620 I believe the instrument is called an "erhu". Totally agree - the erhu does an excellent job filling in for the fiddle.

[@martyham10]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! You kids are so talented!!!

[@francislarv3012]

The banjo player, Eric, is about 60 years old. Seems young and fit,though

[@martyham10]

I had no idea he was that old. It sure would be nice if they would have at least cracked a smile...@@francislarv3012

A wonderful version of Jambalaya! The singer has very good English diction, actually she is a lot more understandable than John Fogerty in the CCR version. Great job by all the musicians, I hope they continue to follow their dreams!

[@dekelanson5280]

Very nice. What a beautiful voice. Hank would be proud I'm sure.

[@sylviogiraldes]

The voice of an angel. Banjo well played. Violin(?) tuned and original. Vibrant bass. Congratulations guys.

🌹 1st ever hearing a Chinese Blue Grass Band. Fantastic, freedom is not far behind 🤠🌻

[@StephenWitharose]

China has been injecting capitialism into it's communism and big surprise... becoming more free and successful. Meanwhile America has been injecting socialism into it's democracy and becoming a hell hole.

[@juwonpark6318]

With Chinese fiddle added, still beautiful and enjoyable. Thanks for the performance ^^

[@-RobHunter-]

The Erhu is now one of my favorite instruments. So much sound from just two strings. I live in the Ozarks where bluegrass music is more popular than any other music genre and this group does some of the best. I hope they do more. Keep up the good work, Eric!

[@sicana55]

Suuper!!!Bravo China!!! Bravos Bandmusik!!

[@rick262]

Nicely done, guys. I loved the banjo breaks blending in some melodic picking. I also enjoyed the erhu being used in place of a traditional fiddle. Creative and excellent!

[@peterandrews7434]

No emotion shown. Smile 😊

[@StephenWitharose]

Yeah this CCP version of fun-stripped asian perfection just doesn't vibe with a style of music that's supposed to be raw and untamed which is a shame because they played it well and I dig the Erhu twist. Feels like communist propaganda or something. Nothing less American.

[@GoldenEmperor5Manifest]

Erhu works incredibly well in this setting.

[@babathegoodmansamba8533]

Sweet. Nice playing of them all. Good banjo and my favourite Chinese fiddle.

[@doowoppapa]

Great to see another traditional instrument playing traditional bluegrass with great players and a singer

[@robertsilva-zf7cm]

BETSY is so sweet in her humble personality when performing, but not to confuse her singing that is actually very nice because of her melodic voice that comes with a gentle mellow tremolo that can easily be accepted to anyone's hearing... BETSY, don't stop your singing for you bring pleasure to people...

[@theprocess63]

I love the expression of joy and happiness on their faces during the song, especially Jung Ding.
