Jon Gomm - Wukan Motorcycle Kid (live)

in music •  7 years ago 

Remarkable Fingerstyle Guitarist Jon Gomm performs one of his instrumental pieces at the Thomas Leeb Guitar Workshop on Turracher Höhe.

"The next tune is an instrumental. It's a political piece about a small town in China called "Wukan" in the countryside. It's about one particular boy in that little town, that I saw on the news. He was riding around the town on his little motorbike and when he saw secret police guys waiting in the darkness to arrest people,this boy was shouting a warning to the town's people. Then he would speed off on his little bike with bullets whizzling past his ears. It's a sad piece, a eulogy for a town and in the end the piece changes pace and you can hear the motorbike and the shots fired." (Jon Gomm)
