Music of Sichuan

There is deeply religious music in Sichuan, played by Daoist priests in their temples. Married lay priests have their own kinds of music, performed at various rituals.

Folk ensembles may include instruments like the bamboo flute, pan and cymbals, gong and horn.

One more recently famous Sichuan group is the Higher Brothers.

The band Hiperson, which comes from the region, blends traditional music from the region with modern rock genres such as post-punk and post-rock.
