### American Artist’s Fujian Trip: Delving into Cultural and Historical Fusion through Music
In a vibrant cultural and artistic exchange, an event orchestrated by China News Agency kicked off in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, bringing together American artist Carla DiLillo Canales (also known as “Carla”) as a representative of the U.S. Department of State’s Arts Envoy, and local artists. This marks a second visit for Carla, who is known for her deep engagement with the rich history and cultural heritage of the area.
During her trip, Carla immersed herself in the exploration of the fusion of music and culture, engaging with Zhangzhou’s intangible cultural heritage such as Xiangju and Bagua Puppets, and experiencing the essence of traditional music like the guqin. She conducted face-to-face exchanges with inheritors of traditional musical instruments, delving into the unique charm of Minnan culture and its contemporary preservation and development. Carla was deeply moved by how music, as a universal language, transcends cultural differences and allows for a profound understanding and friendship between people of the United States and China.
As she walked through the ancient city of Zhangzhou and toured Nanjing Yunshiyao, Carla performed alongside local artists, showcasing the harmony between American and Chinese cultures through music and dance. She shared her reflections in a media article, recounting her first visit to Zhangzhou and her aspirations for building a connection between American and Chinese artists.
Reconnecting with Zhangzhou teenager Huang Yichen, Carla engaged in correspondence and face-to-face meetings, further deepening their understanding and friendship. She encouraged Huang to learn English, sharing stories from China, which exemplifies the exchange and understanding between American and Chinese youth across cultures. This highlights Carla’s role and responsibility as a cultural envoy.
Carla noted that while the music cultures of the U.S. and China are distinct, music as a common language can bridge the gap between languages and cultures, fostering a deeper understanding and friendship between the two nations. She looks forward to future collaborations with Chinese artists to create more music works that blend American and Chinese cultures, using music as a bridge to promote the exchange and integration of cultural and artistic cultures between the U.S. and China.
This American artist’s trip to Fujian Province is not only a practical demonstration of cultural exchange but also a pivotal moment for enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between the people of the U.S. and China. Through the exchange of music and culture, Carla and the artists of Zhangzhou have jointly explored the fusion of culture and history, infusing new vitality into the cultural and artistic exchanges and cooperation between the two nations.
