Musou Band (Taiwan)

Taiwan’s up-and-coming all-female Musou Band breaks a lot of rules with a new sound that incorporates modern elements with classical Chinese music. Wearing sexy outfits that defy the conservative Chinese orchestral traditions, the band is currently promoting its debut top-selling album, “Musou.”
