Band blends pottery and tea in musical fusion

Nestled in the heart of Jiangxi province, Jingdezhen is known as China's "porcelain capital". For centuries, its potters have turned clay into delicate and exquisite works of art that have traveled the world, telling the story of this ancient city.

Now, an indie band has made it their mission to integrate Jingdizhen's history, culture and stories into their music.

Known as The Band From Jingdezhen, they have not only captured the essence of the past but have also redefined it, blending traditional heritage with contemporary sounds.

Their music is deeply connected to the landscapes, stories and legends that have shaped Jingdezhen for centuries. Their songs are more than just melodies; they are immersive narratives that transport listeners to the very heart of the city, where porcelain kilns smoke in the distance and the hum of history lingers in the air.

Now, they are touring the country with their latest album, Xiaoyuan Chunzhi, which combines two of Jiangxi's most distinctive local cultures: porcelain and tea. From Feb 28 to April 19, the band will perform in more than 15 cities, including Jinan in Shandong province, Beijing, Shanghai, and Changsha in Hunan province.
