Band Bio:
Formed in the fall of 2005, The Hsu-nami is an Progressive rock instrumental band from the United States. The Hsu-nami defines East meets West and has become the first Er-hu Rock Group in America. Their music features a rare contribution fusion of different genres, incorporating the use of an erhu, a two-string bowed instrument that is often used in Chinese classical music and folk ensembles.
Entering the Mandala album review:
With its hypnotic er-hu, wailing guitars and tight breakdowns, Entering The Mandala represents one of the finest attempts at fusing traditional Asian sounds with modern rock forms. "Rising Of The Sun" opens the album with a crescendoing mix of progressive rock and metal; once the er-hu casts its spell, the waves of THE HSU-NAMI break the day. Bright with tropical overtones, "Mimosa" is characterized by alternations between driving hard rock and plaintive violin. THE HSU-NAMI boldly takes the listener to the Old World on their rendition of "The Godfather Theme" where Jack replaces the classical violin with the er-hu. "Rogue Wave" begins with a more mysterious Far East quality and gives way to intense guitar solos playing alongside Jack's lead riff, then is propelled by metal rhythms. Setting the mood for a funky night of dancing is "Beautiful Night" while "Entering The Mandala" leads the album out with a mystical vibe leaving you breathless at the innovative album you had just experienced. The bonus live tracks offer a glimpse at the intensity of their live performance; a phenomenon that shouldn't be passed up. For those seeking instrumental music that transcends the ordinary genre conforming trends of today, let the waves of THE HSU-NAMI crash from your speakers!
