Wu Man plays the Pipa, a Chinese lute known for its light, pastoral sound. But Wu Man plays it with a different kind of energy and she’s often found playing new music, collaborating with explorers such as the Kronos Quartet on a composition by Terry Riley. She recently released an album of children’s songs, Our World in Song with Hawaiian guitarist Daniel Ho and percussionist Luis Conte, that transforms familiar melodies from around the world into something deeper and richer. We caught up with her at the Big Ears Festival this past March where she talked about her remarkable life from the cultural revolution to music revolution.
