Hohak Band (sometimes Ho-hak Band, Trad.: 好客樂隊) is a Taiwanese band composed of ex-members of the Labor Exchange Band plus Huqin performer Xiao Shiwei and guitarist Ke Zhihao. Like Labor Exchange, Hohak Band uses traditional Han-Chinese instruments extensively, alongside Western ones.
The name "Hohak" (or Ho-hak) is Hakka for "full of hospitality".
Their initial release is an EP titled Peach Blossoms Are Blooming (桃花開).
Famous quotes containing the word band:
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
