Yang Ying is a multi-talented musician that has tested the musical boundaries of several musical genres with astounding success. A master of the Erhu, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, she traveled the world for 18 years as the featured solo instrumentalist with the former Central Song & Dance Ensemble, the premiere traditional music and dance troupe in China. Then she dramatically changed courses to become the founder, bass, player, and singer for Cobra, ChinaÕs first all female rock band gaining international success. Arriving in the U.S. in the late 90Õs, she began fusing Chinese styles with Western classical, jazz, funk, rock and Nashville influences producing groundbreaking CDs. YingÕs improvisational skills and commanding stage presence make her live performances truly unforgettable. Yang Ying with her band is an obvious Òmust seeÓ.
