About
Wu Man
(China/USA)
‘Wu Man likes to let it rip. In her hands, the pipa goes from folksy to psychedelic, grinding to graceful.' Rootsworld.com
‘Wu Man is a player capable of moving you to spontaneous utterances of sympathy and delight.' Boston Globe
Wu Man is an internationally renowned pipa virtuoso and one of the world's greatest exponents of this ancient Chinese lute-like instrument.
