The 2021 Heaven and Earth World Music Festival kicked off.
Born in Shanghai, the "Tiandi World Music Festival" is currently China's largest "World Music" as the theme of the music festival, for more than ten years, the music festival has invited hundreds of top music and art teams at home and abroad to perform, promote world music in China, and let the world hear China.
This year is the centenary of the founding of the Party, and the shanghai World Music Festival's "Re-walking the Long March, Dreaming of An Innovative Journey" will also be launched on the video platform in the near future. Liron Man, a hand disc performance artist from Israel, visited Yan'an, Luding Bridge in Sichuan, Red Boat in Jiaxing, and the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai. He uses a musical instrument originating in Europe, the hand dish, to interpret classic Chinese songs, and pays tribute to the new journey with a young voice.
With "new" as the key, this year's Tiandi World Music Festival organically connects multiple genres of culture and opens up four "new" sound units of "New Ode to Gifts", "Modern New Voice", "National New Rhyme" and "Exotic New Wind". At the press conference, the first to appear was Lu Jinhua, a descendant of the national intangible cultural heritage Suzhou Pingtan "Li Tune". "With more than a decade of experience with Pingtan, I have a firm belief in the gentle power that lies within it, and I try to tap into new forms of this ancient art," she says. ”
The 2021 Heaven and Earth World Music Festival kicked off, and singer Yang Jima came.
Born in Nyingchi Metuo County, Tibet, YangJima is the seventh generation of The Old Tune of Monpa. She has inherited the national treasures passed down from generation to generation, and has cultivated a unique singing voice and a vulgar temperament. When Yang Jima first appeared on the stage of the Heaven and Earth World Music Festival, she was still a naïve and ignorant girl, and now she is a mother. Yangjima said: "I am very sad to see that young children now are unwilling to learn or inherit ancient folk music. These voices come from nature and are going back to nature, and I feel the responsibility of recording and passing on. ”
The "Modern New Sound" unit includes music talent Li Quan, cross-border group Wang Meng, Yu Miao and many other musicians to join, integrating traditional instruments from the East and the West with modern music, and colliding with a beautiful spark. In addition, SARAH & ISMAEL, the voice of the Moroccan nation in North Africa, and the Nomadic Band of the American Bluegrass Music Group, will perform the "Exotic Fresh Air" unit, reflecting the beauty of the world's music.
A number of musicians will also appear at the festival as Creators 100 creatives, and the interpretation of traditional ethnic instruments and the joining of new sound forces in the future will enrich the artistic matrix. At the same time, following the launch of the "Little Notes Big World" parent-child music festival brand in Changning New Hongqiao Central Garden, this year's music festival will continue to expand the parent-child community, and open up a new sound world for parent-child families to play and sing together - "KIDS Global Music Tour of The World Music Festival of Tiandi", which landed in Chuangzhi Tiandi for the first time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, integrating stage performances, interactive workshops, music markets and other links.
