Rhythm Road US State Dept Tour to China/Mongolia 1st stop Guangzhou
We began our Rhythm Road journey in Guangzhou China - Nov 27th 2011 We had a marvelous time working with young people at the conservatory and collaborating with local Lao Shu (teachers) and participating in the American Music Festival. On our day off State Dept host Janice Englehart brought us to a street market tea ceremony. The tea gave us a lot of energy and had great detoxifying qualities.
Bamboo and fungus are favorite foods - it tasted quite good.
Here is an interesting warning we found at the hotel pool - needless to say none of US qualified for a swim with these tough standards...
!
Here is a video clip of a sweet collaboration on a traditional Chinese Poem by Li Bai - Jing Ye Si We were joined by 16 kindergarteners in this much loved song. Everywhere we went in China people knew this poem by heart. It speaks of how the moonlight coming through the window reminded a man of his home in the north.
