BEIJING (June 29, 2011) – The Opposite House in Beijing has released a third limited edition album, Oppositehouse Vol3, which includes ten eclectic tracks by some of China’s most exciting and talented musicians. The album was specially created for guests to enjoy in-house or to take away as a gift (not available for sale).

 

The ten artists featured on the album have very diverse musical backgrounds, including Hanggai, who pioneered China’s folk rock scene, mixing rock guitars with throat singing; Zhou Yunpeng, China’s most popular independent folk singer and campaigner for visually impaired children; and Shanren, who aims to promote and preserve the heritage of diverse minority groups. Oppositehouse Vol 3 provides an insightful perspective into how today’s musicians draw upon the sounds and moods of their ancestors, combining these with modern twists.
