Over 120 musicians from 11 countries and regions—such as Austria, the United States, Belgium, Denmark, Indonesia, Switzerland, Norway, Japan, France, Cuba, and Taiwan—will showcase a variety of genres. Attendees can look forward to an eclectic mix, blending Chinese folk with Western music styles, including pop, rock, funk, jazz, electronic jazz, experimental music, R&B, techno, soul, and classical fusion jazz.
