Yanzi (Swallow Song) from NCPA | SILKROAD

In this well-known Chinese folk song, the singer addresses a girl named Yanzi (swallow), praising her bright eyes, graceful neck, and long hair. "Please do not forget your promise and change your heart," he sings. "I am yours, and you are my swallow." Listen to this beautiful arrangement of "Yanzi" sung by Wu Tong and accompanied by Yo-Yo Ma, as performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing in November 2016.
