A companheira do TED Abigail Washburn gostaria de ser uma advogada a melhorar as relações entre os Estados Unidos e a China -- até ter segurado num banjo. Ela conta uma história comovente sobre as ligações notáveis que ela formou em visita aos Estados Unidos e China enquanto tocava esse banjo e cantava em Chinês.

Abigail Washburn pairs venerable folk elements with far-flung sounds, creating results that feel both strangely familiar and unlike anything anybody's ever heard before. Full bio »
