Spring Festival gala to Chinese is kind of like Super bowl to American. The gala is arguably the grandest television event in China, with this year's show drawing one billion viewers.?
The joint performance of Chinese singer Tan Weiwei and several senior artists of Huayin Laoqiang Opera caused a sensation among viewers. Their song "Huayin Laoqiang Opera: Boastful cry" created a wide praise online. The Huayin Laoqiang opera, keeping a history of hundreds of years, earns its name for being quaint, tragic St.Louis Blues Martin Brodeur Jersey , vigorous and bold in music style. It is the earliest China rock & roll. What makes the song so unique and powerful is a fresh mix of rock & roll and the Huayin Laoqiang opera.
Cui Jian, a Chinese rock star described by his fans as the "father" of China rock, was deeply moved by Tan Weiwei's performance and noted that it is the best example of a combination of rock and Chinese folk music.
Most of netizens are surprised by its new music form and deep cultural connotation. One netizen said on Wechat, the popular Chinese mobile messenger APP boasting more than 100 million users, "Tan Weiwei amazed the audience with her resonant voice , even move people to tears."
The song starts off with vigorous and boastful cry of Zhang Ximin St.Louis Blues Marcel Goc Jersey , a senior artist of Laoqiang Opera. The song's accompaniment is definitely one of its best - featuring a great erhu (a two-stringed Chinese musical instrument) and yueqin (a banjo like instrument with four-strings) melody, a roll of thumping beat of drums and a long bench that is the unique percussion instrument for the Opera, a choir , and some cool performing.
When Tan Weiwei sings "We crave for happy life generation after generation, at last we have witnessed the awakening of Chinese dragon, " that's when the grand atmosphere really kicks in.
How is Tan Weiwei to interpret the Laoqiang opera with a different approach to today's listeners? Tan uses a different interpretation with sometimes faster tempi than the original opera but keeps quaint lyrics and wild St.Louis Blues Kyle Brodziak Jersey , high pitch voice. Thus, I believe it was the right choice and how it has been changed from its original form to fresh mix might be deemed as the innovation of folk music.
All in all, the song is special in its own way, representing a unique expression of Chinese hopes and beliefs. It's a truly groundbreaking song that will be appreciated not only by rock or folk music fans in general, but also for any music fan who might be interested in new form Chinese music.
