Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer with Chao Tian - Nan Ni Wan

10. Nan Ni Wan (Traditional, Arrangement Cathy, Marcy, Chao, 2 Spoons Music, ASCAP) Nan Ni Wan 南泥湾 is a classic Chinese folk song that embodies the spirit and resilience of the people during a pivotal period in China's history. Originating during the era of the Yan'an Revolutionary Base, this song reflects the transformative efforts in the Nan Ni Wan area, where barren land was turned into productive fields, symbolizing growth and renewal amidst adversity. In our rendition of Nan Ni Wan, we have chosen to focus on the first verse of the lyric to capture the core emotion and message of the song. Cathy and Marcy have taken an exciting step by singing in Mandarin with Chao, bringing them closer to the authentic feel and melody of the song. Vocals, Yangqin (Dulcimer), Five-String Banjo, Percussion
