On this week's 51%, we hear from pipa virtuoso Wu Man about her work with the famous Silkroad ensemble, and the group’s latest tour of "American Railroad," recognizing the immigrant communities that built the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad.

Guests: Wu Man, founding member of the Silkroad ensemble; Kendra McKinley, singer-songwriter
