"Out of Tujia" is a concerto for four percussionists and a Chinese orchestra, featuring the popular Liuzi percussion ensemble drumming patterns and techniques of the Tujia people. In 2006, the practice of playing the Liuzi was approved by the State Council of China and included in the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage lists. Liuzi is the most widely circulated form of the ancient folk instrumental ensemble in the Tujia areas. It has a long history, numerous musical pieces, exquisite techniques, and rich expressiveness, making it a unique art form of the Tujia people. The Liuzi ensemble, composed of the Liuzi gong, leading cymbals, secondary cymbals, and Ma gong, integrates the techniques of various instruments, fully showcasing the performance skills of each. Typically, it is performed by 3 to 4 people, hence the terms "three-person Liuzi" and "four-person Liuzi." The "five-person Liuzi," which includes the introduction of the Han Chinese wind instrument suona, combines wind and percussion instruments, adding a festive and joyous atmosphere.

These are unusual times.. teaches us plethora of lessons about our true selves, Life, Love, society and beyond... we need to be more human and united than ever before. Unmute your inner voice.. allow yourself to feel so deep like in those moments of a truly transcendent meditation. Try to (re-)engage in meaningful connections.. We are one. And be sure you are loved. More than you could ever imagine. Let music help to re-build all those *magic* we've lost during the 'modern era'. I do hope this channel could help with regaining that was systematically destroyed within and around us..

Music gives the means to open up our souls and sync..✨🫶🏻
