The Nanjing-born Ding Sisters get together to perform a selection
of their two most recent CD releases, as well as earlier songs
that made them famous. The first is Ding Fei Fei’s 2003
CD Origin produced by Ding Fei Fei and Ding Wei including
not only the artist as a singer but also as erhu player. The
second CD is Ding Wei’s 2004 Dear Ding Wei which incorporates
world music and bossa nova, with electronic and acoustic instruments.
Both sisters have been learning different music traditions,
giving them a perspective on the convergence and contrast
between East and West, patent in their music.
