Title: The Countryside Ballad (Tian ge 田歌)
Orchestra: China Traditional Orchestra of Zhejiang
Soloist: Hou Yanqiu 侯彦秋
Venue: Moscow International Hall of Music
The hulusi 葫芦丝
The hulusi (which means "gourd silk", referring to the instrument's silky tone) or huluxiao 葫芦箫 ("gourd vertical flute") is an end-blown free reed pipe with gourd wind-chest. Single pipe specimens are rare, most hulusi have a melody pipe and one to two drone pipes. Each pipe has a triangular free reed made of brass. The hulusi is most commonly associated with the Dai minority (who call it bilangdao 筚朗叨), but it is also found under other names amongst other minority groups of Southern China such as the De'ang, Wa and others. The drone pipe has a finger hole, which allows it to be stopped.
Advanced configurations have keyed finger holes similar to a clarinet or oboe, which can greatly extend the range of the hulusi to several octaves, and a slide-whistle like mechanism that can tune the hulusi to a desired pitch.
The sound of the hulusi is hauntingly beautiful, but fairly soft, and as a result is seldom played in ensembles. The Dai men would play it to express their love to women, while other minorities often played the hulusi in the fields when taking a break from planting or harvesting.

I've had this video saved for 7 years. Such an amazing song and performance. Every once in a while I go back and watch. Make's me so sad. All of this beauty and creativity in the world but still so much darkness. I wish we could figure it out before its too late.

[@Turbotrend]

the darkness is related to religion. everyone living in denial and demanding to be respected for their dillusion

[@tigersun9851]

Difference in development is not called darkness, also most of your so-called darkness is the western lies.

[@josequins9099]

Traditional Chinese instruments are just amazing. They all sound so good. They convey such emotion.

Came here looking for a performance of the Hulusi not expecting this captivating performance

[@Ntsevlis]

[@mariasurovova396]

What about 2Ö21 Jack? Where r u now? 😳

[@Emir_Teacher]

Hey u there ? Can I ask you a few things?

[@davidsimons5944]

Wow this has a unique tone & seems very expressive .It may even have value in a modern Western symphony orchestra. It's also multitimbral / slightly polyphonic, whereas most wind instruments are monotimbral. I might even buy one.

[@landengoin3032]

When the video ended i got up and realized that i was crying

[@chihuahuadog9996]

Is taiwanese music quite similar to chinese traditional music?

[@captebbtide]

@@laurant4282 I would say that it is, both Taiwan and the Mainland often use Mandarin for lyrics, the instruments usually the same, but I did note the presence of Aboriginal influences native to Taiwan, such as the Hakka in Taiwanese folk music.

[@RyoAshikara]

The Dai people call it “Bilangdao” or “Boū Nàm Dao” which means “Blow Water Gourd.” It is from Yunan province but the Hulusi is most common in areas near the region capital of Xishuangbanna, or “Sip Song Panna” which means “12 thousand rice fields.” Just a little more about this wonderful instrument. It is also free reeded, just like the “Khean” or “Khaen” which is the cousin to the Chinese equivalent called the “Sheng”.
