Hip Hoppin' To Canon!HOOTS~!

I just discovered something really cool and I can't wait to share:coolest fusion ever! This video shows two hip-hoppers dancing to Canon in D played using the guzheng!

It cleraly presented the route the world is trying to take:fusing of generations and cultures. The Canon, a classical piece is played using a traditional Asian instrument, the modern danc is staged under an "ancient" atmosphere. In reality, everyone is trying to have the best of both worlds, with the doctors combining western and eastern medicine, increasing fusion foods(east and west)on menus, traditonal costumes with a twist and etc.


However I wonder whether the world takes these things in. From my point of view, the older generations are still uncomfortable accepting these "middle paths" while the younger ones are more open to such ideas. But of course, without rejections, there will not be successes right? We owe our modern art to our obstinate elders :D
