Artists: The Hsu-nami
Formed in the fall of 2005, The Hsu-nami defines East meets West and has become the first Er-hu Rock Group in America. Their unique fusion introduces the Er-hu to new listeners. It's the definite combination of an Asian cultural icon and the tenacity of American modern rock.
In the summer or 2008, Hsu-nami's music was featured in the 2008 Bejing Summer Olympics. Their song, "Rising of the sun", was picked to be the entrance theme for the Chinese Basketball team. The song has also been played during walk-ins, timeouts, and was incorporated with a martial arts routine during half time.
The group has performed with national acts like, Yellowcard, ChthoniC, Nightmare of You, The Parlor Mob, World Leader Pretends, and Jet Lag Gemini. They have also performed many festivals, including the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans Festival, and the Passport 2 Taiwan Festival (both held in Union Square NYC). In addition to headlining many Anime Conventions like The TekkoshoCon in Pittsburg, The ArmegediCon in Columbus Ohio, and the TandokuCon and the Zenkaikon in the Philadelphia area.
