About The Guo Brothers

The Guo Brothers' repertoire ranges from ancient Chinese tunes to modern, popular compositions. It takes the listener on a journey from the vast plains of Mongolia to the most remote mountain villages. Music has always been a vital part of The Guo Brothers' lives and they trained from a young age under conditions of hardship and poverty in Peking. Having mastered many instruments, Guo Yue (郭跃) now specializes in Chinese flutes, while Guo Yi (郭艺) plays the ancient sheng, a hand-held, mouth-blown organ. Drawing upon these ancient traditions, the album also gives space and expression to fresh arrangements and free improvisation. It represents a unique collaboration with producer Pól Brennan, Irish musician and songwriter, and former member of Clannad .
