... or rock music in China. During those nearly two decades of stay in this beautiful country I had the opportunity to follow development of the local rock music genre in Asia rather total stranger. As it turns out not so much again. Although in the minds of many Asians are only good at copying, rather quickly found the Chinese people own identity. Their first star was, without doubt, Cui Jian 崔健, starting in the second half of the 80s from the western alterations charts, and who later went his own way, assuming the band ADO, touring throughout China and beyond, singing, even for the demonstrators on the square Tian'an ' men. Cui Jian music was captivating, and the word is often directly showing the weak points of the political system.
Shortly thereafter several other bands - the Black Panthers and the Tang Dynasty 黑豹 唐朝, have played rock music On a lighter and heavier issue. Cui Jian band broke into the beginning of the '90s, its members went their separate ways, they started experimenting, and at the same time the music scene began to do more and more interesting. Dou Wei 窦唯 decadent played albums of garbage dump in the center of interest, Zhang Chu 张楚 involve elements of Beijing folk music into their melodies, and next to these dinosaurs appeared on the underground, secretly bands playing at small venues, often in pubs. These bands multiply like mushrooms after rain. Beijing - the capital not only political but also cultural China - has become a major magnet for angry young from all over the country. Do not count the way all those bands, the fact that the young people had the Finally something besides its ubiquitous pop from Taiwan and Hong Kong, had his music, songs about their problems and not have any religion unconvincing love braggart with aromatic Port (or Hong Kong).
to the good stuff - I like the music, not just Chinese classical and jazz but also rock, and when it turned out that on Jan. 17 in the Factory Snow (Dream Factory), the music club in Shanghai, there will be a concert of four bands of recording for the sophisticated MaybeMars Beijing, the Jur Festival, I could not forgive such an occasion. I took the camera, I got on well, and in the evening I went to the club. Frankly, from the little I did not want, because I was already late, but I forced myself.
I do not regret. The concert had
begin at 21:00, but the rock stars love to tell each other to wait. I had a little problem finding a factory, but the friendly security guard pointed my way. I bought a ticket for the whole Y80, went to the club, I was there for the first time, so not quite know where the hall. She showed usher stairs, went down, and immediately gave me this specific atmosphere waiting for a dose of adrenaline. Shook a little round room, there was a lot of foreigners, at least half of all gathered, such events usually attract non-Chinese people already. An extreme example is the Rolling Stones concert in Shanghai, where the audience, 90% were foreigners.
After a while I found a good place for filming, the barrier near position, with the decks. Where I had a working camera, no one could go before my nose, everything was on a platform, scene could be seen perfectly. Frankly, I'd rather be at the scene, the crowd, which happens most and you can always pokolebac August but remain locked threads from the filming. Was therefore at the table and wait for us to begin.
After a long wait until the completed first some electronic chatter, and then tuning instruments, the band began to play first.
Okudo AV (AV 大 久保) or the AVO Wuhanu in central China, the game fairly light rock, in which facynacje hear pop from Hong Kong, but I can see that you guys have him healthy distance, a bit like Quentin Tarantino in "Pulp Ficton" - but the specific form of content odlotowa. August kick-started the auditorium, music rhythmic, melodic, at the scene even started to "jump into the water," 跳水, that is the culprit jumped from the stage directly to the dancing crowd - always happily caught, but probably because they were in the majority of foreigners ...
