"Twelve Girls Band ... is a music women artists group who started with twelve members but later become thirteen, that use traditional Chinese instruments to play both traditional Chinese and Western songs. Formed on June 18, 2001, the women were selected by audition from more than 4,000 contestants. Each woman is classically-trained, and the band members come from various conservatories in the People's Republic of China (PRC), including the China Academy of Music, the Chinese National Orchestra, and the Central Conservatory of Music.

Chinese numerology gave Wang Xiao-Jing the idea for the Twelve Girls Band. When the "father of Chinese rock music" decided he wanted to create a woman ensemble, he knew it needed 12 members. Per Chinese mythology it is the twelve jinchai (12 hairpins) representing womanhood. The twelve women that Xiao-Jing assembled were experienced musicians from the People's Republic of China's orchestras, played ancient Chinese instruments, and all were in their twenties. For the new project, the women were inspired by the art of the Yue Fang, the ensembles who played in the Tang Dynasty courts during the years A.D. 618 to 907."

Chubby Checker - Let's Twist Again

This is the original 1960 video of Chubby Checker doing the twist. It's a pretty stark video with no other dancers or musicians in sight. Chubby's pretty laid back, but he can really twist!

Congo - Fally Ipupa - Mabele

This is a great tune, with a mesmerizing dance oriented video treatment. The dancing is pretty cool and understated. The art direction and costumes are beautifully coordinated in luscious coffee colored shades of brown, featuring a multitude of textures and patterns. The camera seems to be moving around the stage along with the dancers, and the kaleidascopic special effects add a nice touch as well. Idamawatu uploaded this video and has over 1300 other videos posted on Youtube. (LINK)
