Second Hand Rose - "Second Hand Rose" {China} [2004] (folk rock)

Rock scene is quite new in China, like most of the asian countries (except a few countries like Japan, Korea, and Mongolia with names Soyol Erdene, Bayan Mongol for 70s) rock never become mainstream style on asia. Traditional folk has its full power (as a folk lover i am happy with the situation :) ) Second hand rose (band) gives a good answer to that question: "what if traditional chinese folk meet with rock form?" if you ask that kind of wierd questions to yourself, one of the answer could be Second Hand Rose..i like to listen some songs in the album over and over while drinking my red cay (tea) :) and here is some copy/paste:

Second Hand Rose, which claims to be "the most seductive" folk rock band in China, has become one of the most popular among rock fans. The band is well-known for its bold combination of traditional Chinese instruments with solid rock and roll fundamentals. The influence of traditional Chinese folk music, especially Errenzhuan, a kind of comic theatrical duet popular in northeast China, can be clearly felt in the singing. read more here
