Jah Wobble's latest project - Chinese Dub, will be a fusion of dub music and Chinese melodies and instrumentation. The instrumentation will be: bass, drums, Guzheng, bamboo flute, the gourd pipe of Yunnan province. Jah Wobble will also utilise the voice of Wang Jingqi, , a singer from the Mao ethnic minority of China (part of Yunnan province) and Gu YingJi, a Tibetan singer (her father is Tibetan, and her mother is Mongolian). During the performance, we will feature various Chinese arts forms, such as Tang Dyasty dance and Sichuan opera’s specialty- the mysterious 'Mask Change'. The ‘Face Mask Change’ is a unique Chinese art form. Its origin lays in the Sichuan opera. The Mask Change began 300 years ago and as time goes by, the technique is constantly worked upon and improved. This art form is now considered as one of the top folk skills in China and is on top of their list of protected arts.
For hundred of years, this secret arts form was only passed down by family and was forbidden to female performers. However, female performers can now be seen on stage as mask change masters. All performers who are chosen to learn this art form have to swear to secrecy before they allow to learn even its basics. It takes them many years of hard practise to master the skill.
In China, there are less than 200 artists who are able to perform ‘the mask change’
