[mogges1]

She playing that tune with one string.I know of another famous man who play a one string cigar box guitar.cant remember his name though

[lumalive]

My question is why so many talented men and women are on the street platform

[YourStreetPerformer]

@lumalive They have no connections with the right people! I myself have helped several street performers to work at several events in the place where i reside. I'm now trying to do this globally instead of nationally. These talented artists deserve to be seen and performing in a more organized arena. Wish me and all the performers Luck !

[lumalive]

@YourStreetPerformer THANKS! it is very encouraging to hear such a worthy course by you. Of course, those talented performers deserve more recognition and rewards for a happy life. They are special because what they can perform many of us cannot. I would like to know how you are going to organize if not all of them, many of them in a global arena. I am prepared to support you wholeheartedly in my small way. Good Luck to those performers and you!

[YourStreetPerformer]

@lumalive thanks for your words. I have actually received dozens of offers of people who want to help in this cause. I'm currently working on recording performances and posting them on youtube. I have been offered by Someone to create us our own website and someone else will donate server space. I'm an advertiser and marketer by trade so what i do is contact restaurants, bars, nightclubs, concert halls, theaters etc.. to try to help them find employment.

[YourStreetPerformer]

@lumalive to help people on a global scale i will be asking people to record such street performances and upload them on our future website we will then try to find recruiters or contact restaurants, bars, etc... in those areas to try to see if they will be willing to hire them for their performances. Financially were very capable and no need of financial help. but we would love to receive videos from all around the globe. keep in touch Hopefully we will have our website up and running soon.

[lumalive]

Really great! She is cute, pretty and with high dexterity, and she is a symbol of art.

[Slipsnob]

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU

[rysiskailepai]

one of the saddest things about the advancement of modern day is the eventual death of the arts and i dont mean music or drawing not even theatre cause those live on in tv and cartoons but the death of archane talents such as this

[eebeebeeb]

@rysiskailepai you're insane. the arts aren't going anywhere and modern day technology only helps arcane talents such as this reach a wider audience. case in point: this video

[rysiskailepai]

@rysiskailepai only to those interested enough to look it up i promise you in like 100 years these will only be videos and museums

[loveunderlaw]

@rysiskailepai Well said, AGREED!

[MasterAsra]

@rysiskailepai Yeah but without the modern day's advancements you never would have heard about her or this piece. It's not all bad, since it exposes a diverse range of traditions to people and keeps some from dying out completely.

[M11ty2]

what's the instrument called?

[lovscienceandfantasy]

o man,this is awsome! she rocks!!<3

[amusicalnightmare]

[hkmattuk001]

Er hu (two words) or Huqin. evolved from a tenth century Mongolian instrument. there is one playing outside my flat every morning. great though it is i wish he would stop.

[hkmattuk001]

Its a Chinese violin and no she isn't faking it.

[TasLon7]

Wow! She really is amazing! Her song sounds like a cross-between 'Flight of the Bumblebee' & 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' (On the erhu!)!!! lol!

[xbassassinsx]

[FortitudoCroatorum]

I have been in Edinburgh 2 years ago, such a beautiful city! There is so much talented performers on the streets... this girl has an amazing playing technique!!! Is this the place near the Edinburgh castle? Greets from Croatia...

[Silvercrystal77]

Erhu is my favorite eastern instrument! I got the chance to play it when I went to China a few years ago. It was difficult.

[Katami83]

[CherryTripping]

[abbster200]

talented

[papela]

Es la china que se lleva to el jurdó pa ella sola

[tailoredvid]

Why would she pretend? Some people are actually this talented... that's how they make money doing this kind of stuff...

[VarykGerai]

@tailoredvid or ar that talented but have to do something else to actualy make money

[odnenans]

those pretending movements are quite good if she would be pretending lol,

dont se why she should pretend that is just stupid...

[amartini51]

Agreed -- the only way anyone could pretend to play that well would be if they could *actually* play that well.

[dayiiv]

@amartini51 agreed. anybody who can play an instrument can tell immediately if somebody is faking it even on an instrument they dont play themselves.

[swankrecords]

If she is sitting on a speaker the bass tones would tickle her too much.

[serfox1]

As I know her, her name is Yan Shi, may I say that she actually is playing, and the speaker is merely the backing track along with a quiet guide Erhu. I can even prove this to you if need be.

[cktor]

callate wuasho! que sabe bo eh
