Year Of The Funky

Year Of The Funky is the second album from Bei Bei (荷蓓蓓) & Shawn Lee. After their debut collaborative album Into The Wind (Ubiquity Records, 2010), the Chinese guzheng virtuoso / composer and the prolific multi-instrumentalist / producer join forces again on 12 new tracks. Year Of The Funky marries a unique blend of ancient tradition with studio trickery. Eschewing all notions of superficial Asian/Fusion, this uplifting, genre-bending, and sophisticated sound brings together both East & West with musical aplomb. The new album continues as a logical progression from "Into The Wind". It ventures into both new tempos & moods while deftly connecting the past, the future and what lies beyond.
