Ma Yuan followed with a female solo called "a glass of good wine" which drew thunderous approval from the crowd that was genuinely enjoying the evening.

The female dance group was back on stage with a well choreographed dance, "the love song of Kangding."

Next on stage was the performance of Matouqin, or the "morin khuur," a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument. It produces a sound which is poetically described as expansive and unrestrained, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands.

While vigorously shaking his head as playing it with a bow on his lap, the musician's two pieces earned him wild cheers from the audience.

The "green peacock" was performed with all the pride that is bestowed to the pompous bird. They appear like the rising spring water that makes some peacocks in the green woods to be contented with their beauty.

The "happy Tibetans" is performed with the dancers hitting the ground using the soles while dancing greatly to the music, with exciting claps, applause and cheers soaring up to the sky.

By the time the last performance was coming to a close, all indications were that the two hours were well spent, if not too short.

"The female dancer appeared spineless from the way they perfected their dance styles," said Millicent Wanjiku, a student at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi after the show.

"The concert was a stark reminder of my time in Beijing during my exchange program last year when we attended several such performances. I am happy I watched something I could easily relate to."

Her classmate Pamela Masinde was all praise of the cultural event and suggested more should be organized so as to give Kenyans a feeling into China's rich and diverse culture.

"Those who have not tasted the Chinese culture do not know what they are missing. It is so addictive that once you embrace it, you can never let go of it."
