Phønix feat. the Chinese Guzhengplayer Sangka
– A Chinese/Danish Music Adventure -
One of the leading Danish Folk bands Phønix meets the talented young Chinese guzhengplayer Sangka.
The Chinese guzheng has a dreamy pentatonic sound, which in a beautiful way plays up against Phønix’s energetic groovy sound.
The repertoire is a mixture of Danish folk ballads, traditional Chinese tunes, new compositions and improvisations played with virtuosity, humor, empathy and joy.
It is a cultural meeting between two very diferent musical traditions and together they create a special and unique new sound universe.
Phønix and Sangka played together for the first time in October 2014 in Beijing during the opening of the new Danish Cultural Institute. In 2015 they played at SPOT festival and a 14 days tour in Denmark.
