Title: Good News from Beijing Reaches the Border Villages (or Good News Delivered to the Remote Villages) 北京喜訊傳邊寨 北京喜讯传边寨 Composer: Zheng, Lu; Ma, Hongye (郑路、马洪业) Arranger: Zhang, Dasen (张大森) Conductor: Zhang, Lie (张列) Performer: China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra (中国广播民族乐团)
This is my favorite music. The tune is actually borrowed from folk songs of Miao(Hmong) and Yi people. It is very amazing to see that this music is actually performed by musical instruments of many different ethnic groups in China. And the harmony is still not affected. Maybe the composer and the arranger want to express the idea that all ethnic groups in China should live peacefully together and be nice to each other.
I can recognize some of the ethnic musical instruments. Mangtong (time 0:03-0:07, 2:32-2:34) is a typical musical instrument used by Miao(Hmong), Dong, Shui and Yao(Mien) people. Lusheng (time 0:43-0:48, 0:57-0:59, 1:48-1:51, 1:53-1:56) is a typical musical instrument used by Miao(Hmong), Yi, Dong, Shui, Yao(Mien) and Gelao people. The performer generally dances while playing this instrument. The well-known folk "Lusheng love song" is accompanied with beautiful tunes performed by lusheng. Yangqin (time 1:16-1:17), known as the Chinese piano, is a typical musical instrument of Shui, Jing(Kinh), Uigur and Kazakstan people. Among all Chinese classical musical instruments, yangqin is a unique instrument that widely used in other regions outside China. Pipa (time 0:36-0:37): musicial instrument of the Han people and ethnic minority groups in Xin Jiang Province, China. Shougu/Hand Drum(time 3:17-3:18): musicial instrument of ethnic minority groups in Xin Jiang Province, China.
Other musical instruments include Suona (used by Korean, Han, Miao(Hmong), Bai, and Yi people), Big Drum of Shui ethnic people (used by Shui People), Zhuangdi (used by Zhuang people), Zhongruan, Yueqin, and many others that I do not recognize...

AWESOME. I love how the lu sheng player dances! The whole ensemble is wonderfully enthusiastic. I wish I could've heard more of those erhu, but I guess that's fine.
After all, this is a whole bunch on instruments all playing together in one big jubilant mash of joy!!

You mean the guy at 0:44? This is deliberate, according to this video's summary: "Lusheng (time 0:43-0:48, 0:57-0:59, 1:48-1:51, 1:53-1:56) is a typical musical instrument used by Miao(Hmong), Yi, Dong, Shui, Yao(Mien) and Gelao people. The performer generally dances while playing this instrument."

樂團演的速度好像有點太趕了,
稍微從容點會比較好。
