Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Their debut collaborative release is a testament to the connective power of music across seemingly disparate cultures. Merging American old-time music and Chinese folksong, the album features gorgeous, impressionistic renditions of traditional material from the hills of Appalachia to the prairies of Xinjian Province, each tune flowing seamlessly into the next.
Sung in English and Chinese.

Wu Fei and Abigail Washburn's duo project is as unlikely, perhaps, as it was inevitable-a manifest sonic consequence of politics and vibrations commingling across continents. There is a directness in the musical duo format that makes it such a good vehicle for melodic conversations between close friends who obviously listen to each other with an athletic respect matched by their respective virtuosity.
