In the anticipation of many music lovers, at 6:30 p.m. on April 12, the Guiyang Roadside Concert Wenchang Pavilion started as scheduled. This concert with the theme of "Guitar Night" is the first musical collision between Zheng'an, the "hometown of guitars", and Guiyang, the "City of Philharmonic", and it is also a new way to play the "collision" of Guiyang's roadside concert city.
"I can't blame you now, I just hate that I can't resist fate. Indulging in love all the time, who knows that the tragedy has long been doomed...... "As the Zheng'an ZA band sang the classic old song "Annie", the beautiful melody and affectionate singing quickly captured the hearts of the audience, and everyone couldn't help waving their arms. After that, hit songs such as "Sea and Sky" and "Sunny Day" set off a climax and continued to ignite everyone's enthusiasm.

On this night, the ZA Band and the Amino Acid Girl Band from Zheng'an County, together with the Lighter Band and the Nth Power Band from Guiyang, sang passionately, opening a musical collision between the "City of Music" and the "City of Love". Love songs such as "You Are Happy, So I Am Happy", "Spring Breeze Ten Miles", "I Really Love You" and "Annie", as well as rock songs such as "Sweet Child O' Mine", "welcome to my life" and "Courage Explosion", pushed the concert to a climax again and again, and the audience waved the light sticks in their hands and cheered loudly for the band.

The Lighter Band is a children's band with an average age of only 8 years old, and the audience is full of immature faces, but after taking the stage, they are sophisticated. The oldest of them is lead singer and bassist Guoguo, born in 2013, who gave his performance a perfect score. "It was very lively, and the audience cheered us on, which was cool. Guoguo said that the reason why music is interesting is to be able to express one's heart, and he will continue to work hard in the future, hoping to become a guitar master like Steve Vai.

Founded in May 2022, the finale of the Zheng'an Amino Acid Girl Band is composed of "7 Sisters" from different professions such as employees of state-owned enterprises, nurses, teachers and volunteers in the western region, and has performed in Guangzhou, Zhuhai and other cities many times. After passionately singing songs such as "Once You", "Rolling in the deep", "Rain Butterfly" and "Neon Sweetheart", under the plea of the audience who still cared about it, he sang Jolin Tsai's "The Sun Never Sets".
"The atmosphere is so good, the audience is too enthusiastic, more real and shocking than what I saw on the Internet, I was still nervous when I first came on stage, and when I saw the audience so enthusiastic, the tension was swept away. After the performance, the lead singer of the band, He Guanchi, said excitedly that the first time he came to the roadside concert in Guiyang, he liked this music form very much, and he interacted with the audience face-to-face and zero-distance, which was very down-to-earth, just like when he played music in college, he was very relaxed.

The wonderful concert also attracted many visitors from all over the country, and towards the end of the concert, two tourists from Guangxi were invited to the stage and performed singing. "The people of Guiyang are so enthusiastic, and the food in Guiyang is also very delicious, I didn't expect to meet such a warm concert. One of the tourists, Luo Lanyan, said that the happiest thing about coming to Guiyang was that she came across a concert on the side of the road, which was both surprising and interesting. Next, I plan to take a good look around Guiyang and deeply unlock the charm of the city.
Zheng'an County is known as the "Guitar Capital of China" and is the guitar production base with the highest degree of agglomeration and the largest production and sales scale in the country. At present, 6 of the world's top 10 guitar brands are OEM produced in Zheng'an, with an annual output of more than 200,000 guitars. At the concert, Wan Qilin, deputy director of Zheng'an County Guitar Cultural Industry Development Center, on behalf of Zheng'an County, presented the guitar produced by Zheng'an to the Guiyang Roadside Concert Wenchang Pavilion, and sang Wang Feng's song "Fireworks", showing the Zheng'an people's love for music to the citizens and tourists at the scene, and also invited everyone to Zheng'an to feel the charm of the guitar.
"I used to swipe Guiyang roadside concerts on Douyin, but after I arrived at the scene today, I felt that the atmosphere was better, which was really warm. Wan Qilin said that Zheng'an County is the capital of guitar and the city of music, and the city of music Guiyang is highly compatible in temperament. In the future, I hope that there will be more collisions between the two places, and I also hope that Zheng'an can get more help from Yunyan, the provincial capital, because of music, and because of the common development of music.
In 2023, Guizhou will give birth to the "three super IPs" that have attracted national attention and gone out of the circle on the whole network, among which the Guiyang roadside concert that originated from Wenchang Pavilion has become a super cultural IP, which has been written into the 2024 Guizhou Provincial Government Work Report and has also become a shining new business card of Guiyang.
