about
Yom and Wang Li. From Yom's website: One of them is from China, a self-taught Jew's harp player who plays exclusively solo. The other, a clarinettist, was born in Paris where he studied at the Conservatoire; his group plays Jewish music from the East, but not only that. Having tamed such different Orients, Yom and Wang Li have created their own music-lexicon, neither Sino-Jewish nor Judeo-Chinese, but resolutely traditional, definitely contemporary, and definitively respectful. Their confrontation – and also their complicity – occupies terrain which, in these troubled, disturbing times, is also filled with mutual concern regarding the excesses of intense nationalism and the havoc which Man has created in his natural environment. Their album Green Apocalypse is their musical and ecological manifesto. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
