Singers Wang Jingqi from China and Tibetan Gu Yingji will be performing with the legendary Jah Wobble.
Jah Wobble was part of a late-1970s trio of art school mates who changed the face of popular music in Britain. The other two were Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious.
Commissioned by the Liverpool Culture Company for the city's European Capital of Culture celebrations, Jah Wobble has produced a remarkable performance of "Chinese dub."
It will feature bass, drums, Guxheng, bamboo flute, and the gourd pipe. Wang Jingqi is from the Mao ethnic minority population of the Yunnan province in China, and Gu Yingji is from Tibet – her father is Tibetan, and her mother is Mongolian. The performance will be a fusion of dub music and Chinese melodies and instrumentation. The performance will feature various Chinese arts forms, such as Tang Dynasty dance and Sichuan opera's specialty – the mysterious "Mask Change."
The event starts at 9.30 pm. Entrance £12 and £8.
