Husband and wife duo Lucky Diaz and Alisha Gaddis, one of the two performing bands, are Latin Grammy and Emmy award winners, who also star their own PBS program, "Lishy Lou and Lucky Too", a color-filled, children's TV show.

"Our music is written for children, from a very early age, and we believe that music helps children grow," Gaddis said.

"Sharing our music with the Chinese people is a gift that we hope keeps giving. The audiences are more warm and generous than we could have ever imagined. Parents here adore their children and love dancing, singing and being joyful together! They are just fabulous!" she said.

Hippe Gasten puts on an amazingly interactive show with lots of audience participation as they show kids and adults how to be their own rock stars. Their vigorous songs embrace individuality and highlight the significance of being true to oneself.

"If you feel the power of music, it doesn't matter what country you are from, what age you are or how different you think, you can always feel and dance at our concerts. We want everybody to have fun together," keyboardist Maurice Cramer of Hippe Gasten said.
