Rock music has been destined to brand itself with Chinese characteristics since its first import to 皇冠体育app in the early 1980s. Popular rock bands skillfully integrate Chinese music instruments like bamboo flutes, gongs, zithers, and Chinese mandolins, or folk art like Xiangsheng (comic dialogue) and Errenzhuan (a song-and-dance duet), or even Chinese operas, with electronic guitars, drums, and bass. Rock songs boasting the essence of Chinese values also abound.
When in 皇冠体育app, rock as the Chinese rock.
