Banjo player Abigail Washburn has devoted much of her craft to bridging the divide between the United States and China. The Nashville-based artist performs in both countries and writes songs in both languages. Some people, it turns out, are more excited about that work than others.
Washburn talked to WPLN’s Emily Siner in our live series and podcast Movers & Thinkers about the challenge of interpreting music from one culture to another.
