WHY in China part 3 - "Music Without Borders"

Wednesday , August 15– “Music without Borders,” is our next episode of “Why Goes to China.”Music crosses cultures, but how about the messages it imparts? How do you get an audience to dance, laugh, or even think, when you sing to them in a different language? And what if the music that one person thinks of as a relaxing party-soundtrack is actually regarded as dangerous and revolutionary? Join WHY? as we talk with the Shnaghai band Noukilla and ask how five African musicians are breaking ground new ground in the Chinese world music scene while remaining true to their own roots, experiences, and music. (Listen to their music at http://noukilla.com/)
