Meihua dagu 梅花大鼓 / qiyin liantan 七音联弹 music from Tianjin, China

A televised performance of instrumental ensemble music from the tradition of meihua dagu (梅花大鼓), a genre of accompanied narrative singing (shuochang, 说唱) from the Beijing and Tianjin areas of northern China. In this case, the performance does not include a singer/percussionist, but does feature several additional musicians playing chuida (吹打, wind and percussion) instruments: one suona (唢呐, shawm), two sheng (笙, mouth organs), and four percussionists playing Beijing opera percussion, making this something of a hybrid performance. The ensemble is from the Tianjin Municipal Narrative Singing Troupe (Tianjin Shi Quyi Tuan, 天津市曲艺团), and the leader/sanxian player is named Han Baoli (韩宝利, b. 1954). The names of the other musicians are as follows: ● Qiu Changle (岳长乐) ● Liu Xiaokai (刘小凯) ● Han Qing (韩晴) ● Han Xu (韩旭) ● Chen Qian (陈茜) ● Zhao Kai (赵凯) ● Yu Baoshu (于宝树) ● Yan Yongsheng (闫永生) In this performance, the six string players perform using a special method of playing called qiyin liantan (七音联弹 or 七音连弹, literally "seven sounds playing jointly"), shuang qin huan shou (双琴换手, literally "double instruments swapping hands"), huan shou liantan (换手联弹 or 换手连弹, literally "swapping hands [and] playing jointly"), or qiyin huan shou liantan (七音换手联弹 or 七音换手连弹, literally "seven sounds swapping hands playing jointly"), in which each musician uses one hand on his own instrument and the other hand on his neighbor's instrument. In this way, seven different instruments can be played by just six players (from left to right: yangqin, zhongruan, erhu, sihu, sanxian, pipa, and another yangqin). This innovation was pioneered in 1985 by the group's leader and sanxian player, Mr. Han Baoli (韩宝利, b. 1954); prior to this only four performers and five instruments were used (called wuyin liantan, 五音联弹 or 五音连弹). The names of the tunes (qupai, 曲牌) performed in this video are unknown. Probably filmed in Tianjin, northern China, c. May 1, 2014. Sometime after 2009, the tradition of meihua dagu, centering on Tianjin, northern China, was included in the Expansion Project of the First Batch of the Tianjin Municipal-Level Intangible Cultural Heritage List (天津市第一批市级非物质文化遗产扩展项目). Additionally, in 2014 the tradition of meihua dagu, centering on Tianjin, northern China, was included in the Fourth Batch of 153 traditions inscribed in the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China (第四批国家级非物质文化遗产名录) by China's Ministry of Culture (中华人民共和国文化部, known since March 2018 as the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, 中华人民共和国文化和旅游部). The sub-agencies responsible for maintaining these lists, both under the aegis of the aforementioned ministry, are the Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage (文化部非物质文化遗产司) and the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center (中国非物质文化遗产保护中心, CICHPC). 一心二用 天津三弦圣手韩宝利父女领衔《七音换手联弹》 绝技 堪称世界之最
