Cobra - All girl Chinese alternative rock band, CD Cafe 1997

Cobra was an all girls band and one of the early rock bands in China to take the country by storm. Along with Cui Jian, they were one of the first rock bands to tour in the USA in the early 90's. This is a clip from their show in Beijing at the original CD Cafe, opened up by Liu Yuan of Cui Jian's band. I regret I don't know the song name, but it was one of there more popular songs.

You could really appreciate Cobra and the OG rockers once you realize that "alternative rock" in China really was the alternative, period. Thanks for posting this!!

I have the Cobra CD and saw an article on them in Newsweek. The CD is FANTASTIC -- I don't understand a word of the Chinese lyrics, but the music is great! Every song. I still listen to it. They could have been a MAJOR world-class band.

Great to see that there's other music genres in the motherland other than just the usual fucking conformist pop which has all the same mood, melody, emotions and tunes......

Great potential. Too bad the sound quality is zarked. I'd like to see a you-tuber out there do a reconstruction. Challenge.
