Chinese pop music looks for modern sky in LA

It's something never seen before in San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles, the United States, even though almost every Los Angeles resident knows that there is a heavily Chinese community providing genuine Chinese food.

But more than 5,000 stylish young people showing out for Chinese rock, folk, pop and rap music here is another thing.

For "most westerners, they don't know, maybe only know basic things about other countries, including China, such as great food but most people have no idea about this amazing art and music," Michael Lojudice, General Manager of Modern Sky Music Festival USA told Xinhua, "I call it a start."

Lojudice's made these remarks at Santa Anita Park, where the leading Chinese music festival was held last Saturday, first of its kind in Los Angeles.
