Shanren US Tour December 31, 1969

Through original compositions and reworkings of traditional songs, Chinese folk-fusion band Shanren present a rich facet of Chinese culture that historically has been known largely through myth. Hailing from three different ethnic groups in the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces of China—the area thought to have inspired the Shangri-La of James Hilton's classic novel, Lost Horizon—the four musicians in Shanren update the indigenous music of their home provinces adding a dose of rock and influences from across the globe.

In March, Shanren embark on their first North American tour. While funding will help offset the cost of visas fees, plane tickets, and lodging for the musicians, this crowdfunding campaign is not just about making their tour a success, but also creating a genuinely interactive cultural experience. Along with bringing their infectious live shows to the east coast of the US and to Toronto for Canadian Music Week, Shanren are offering unique opportunities for fans to experience southwestern China’s culture and music through Fuel options such as private music lessons and handmade instruments.
