"We played in Beijing and Guiyang (Guizhou province) with five shows in total during our two visits to China. Music taught us that it is a universal language and helps us create a magical bond between the artist and the audience. The connection between the audience and the band flows in such a way that, at the moment of playing, there is no language barrier. We become one," says the drummer, Pablito Maka.

"We are preparing a great show with classic songs from the band, new songs and some surprises for the Chinese public."

Machingon will also visit Peking University to perform, and meet students and teachers.
