... In May 2008 an earthquake devastated Sichuan province in China, killing
tens of thousands and leaving millions homeless. To commemorate the one
year anniversary of this tragedy, musicians Abigail Washburn and Dave
Liang of the Shanghai Restoration Project traveled to Sichuan to make
music with children who survived the earthquake and their parents.
Using folk songs sung by the children as well as sounds of their
parents rebuilding their houses with bricks and mortar, Abby and Dave
created a unique musical soundscape, and this video shows how the whole
process unfolded in March, 2009. Afterquake CD available on amazon and through iTunes music store.
