Music festival live.
The Motorcycle Boys Band of Fudan University brought original songs such as "You on the Other Side of the City" and "Lucid Sleepwalkers". At a time when the pace of urban life is getting faster and faster, and "lying flat" and "inner volume" have become popular words in society, they who are good at rhythmic style come to the music festival, "hoping to let more people pick up musical instruments, and music can enliven the life atmosphere of this city." Musician He Ziwei said.
The RENE band of Shanghai Overseas Chinese University presented the original "Chasing Light Teenager" specially provided by the organizers, "There is a sunny teenager atmosphere, we were originally rock style, so slightly changed the singing style." Musician Wang Kaiyu sighed that the North Bund, where the music festival is located, has a great feeling, "All the young people who come here are young people, and the prosperous city scene here is very suitable for young people to fight, and young people also like to punch here to take souvenirs." ”
"The North Bund is a relatively changeable place in Shanghai, with mottled walls that record traces of history, in stark contrast to modern buildings such as the Oriental Pearl. This is where young people's dreams begin. Wu Runqing, a first-year student at Shanghai Overseas Chinese University, sang "Never Lose Love" and "Mercury", looking forward to the future, saying, "Shanghai is an international city, I am studying business, and I want to stay in Shanghai in the future and contribute my part to development." ”
Cao Zijian, a master's student in the Architecture Department of Tongji University, is a regular visitor to major music festivals, but he has a regret that he has never participated in a music festival with college students as the main group. For the music festival, he specially selected "Young China Says" and "Goofy", "Young people are the driving force for Shanghai's future development, "Young China Says" expresses our declaration of vitality and responsibility, and "Goofy" also hopes to fly to the top of the sky with the North Bund and Shanghai. ”
The festival attracted the participation of many university student fans. Wu Wei, a first-year student at Shanghai University, came to Cai Chengyu, "The first time I listened to him singing on the spot, I was very happy!" "She is most familiar with and most touching is "The Road," Cai Chengyu's voice is very fit, powerful, and very transparent. Walking on the road of youth, as long as there is faith, you can smile and fearlessly persevere. Teenagers should be full of spirits, full of enthusiasm, and chase their dreams! ”
A group of sophomores from Tongji University gave a warm cheer when Cao Zijian and Li Li appeared, "These two are the champions and runners of our top ten singers on campus, and they are very popular in school." In their view, this music festival is very much like a singing event on campus, "not as crazy as a commercial concert, everyone is very rational, very restrained, closer to the college student group." ”
The festival also attracted onlookers from the surrounding residents. The two old aunts have been sitting on the seats along the riverside since the afternoon to watch rehearsals, and aunt Wang's home in her 80s is nearby, which was originally their leisure place, "The landscape here is very good, and it also attracts many young people to take selfies." We know that after hosting a music festival for young people here, we also want to see it for a while, they are full of energy, watching them perform, feeling that they are not so old. ”
The first Youth Shanghai North Bund Student Music Festival was jointly created by Youth Daily and Shanghai North Bund Group.
"HI Youth, YE Life" market.
In addition to the carnival on the music, the music festival is also accompanied by the youth life festival - "HI Youth, YE Life" market, bringing young friends a shopping experience of "tide, explosion, type, fan", "from Shikumen to Tiananmen" century badge set, retro version of the porcelain cup and other cultural and creative products, which are sought after.
The music festival of the evening was just a prelude. The organizers said that in the future, the University Student Music Festival will continue to meet on the North Bund, and at the same time, the North Bund Dream Strong Sound Program was officially launched, which will build a professional stage for Shanghai's outstanding college students and college music talents.
