Step High and Higher - Guangdong (Cantonese) Music Series (2 CD)
In modern times, the Chinese province of Guangdong has become known for Guangdong music (later Guangdong folk tunes), a synthesis of a number of local folk music styles (like Kun opera), intended as an accompaniment for the region's folk operas when it arose along the Pearl River delta in the 1920s. It gradually evolved into a string ensemble format by the 1960s, led by the gaohu with ruan, qinqin, yangqin, sanxian and various woodwind and percussion.
