Musician

SIU2, a locally bred band, presents you a novel experience of Hong Kong music with their original and unique style. Their works challenge people’s inherent concept about Chinese music and create a new genre fusing modern and traditional, Chinese and western elements.

The traumatic Cultural Revolution, under Mao Zedong, shunned all things western, ...
