Schokora http://56minus1.com/?p=6332 :: the acoustic guitars, harmonicas, and this retro Hohner Melodica came out recently while I was picnicking in Shanghai with friends. One of those friends was Zhang Feng (张峰, aka Bono), the frontman for the well-known Shanghai-based indie rock band Banana Monkey. See below for a short video catching Zhang Feng play a few crowd-pleasers, namely (and in order) Qi Qin’s The World Outside, Wang Fei’s One Little Wish, Luo Dayou’s Childhood, Qi Qin’s Sometime Around Winter, and Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight.
