KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait, Jan 30 (NNN-KUNA) – A traditional Chinese musical performance was held in Hawally Governorate, in Kuwait, on Tuesday.
The art show, performed by an orchestra from Nanjing, China, was warmly welcomed by the Kuwaiti people.
The artistes presented the audience Chinese culture with traditional musical instruments, such as bamboo-flute, Chinese zither, lute, and erhu, a two-stringed fiddle.
Among them, the percussion music, “Tiger Grinding Teeth” and Suona and Banhu ensemble’s “Celebration” received a big applause from the audience.
Dai Yin, head of the orchestra, said, “I hope this performance will bring more Chinese culture to the Kuwaitis and further promote cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the two countries.”
Reda Alnaiqi, a local Kuwaiti resident, is a fan of Chinese culture. He is full of praise for the performance by the Chinese artistes.
“The cultural performance with Chinese characteristics is really good. We should hold more such activities, to let us better know China and its culture,” he said.
Kuwait is the last stop of the orchestra’s visit to the Middle East. It has also performed in Jordan and Turkey.– NNN-KUNA
