First time listening to a hardcore rock folk music concert? Traditional Chinese culture

🎵Checked in at Shanghai Concert Hall on a workday evening for the recent performance of 'Maritime Folk Music' by Shanghai National Orchestra✅ . It was also my first time stepping into a theater to listen to a folk music concert, 60 minutes, 9 songs. Many never-seen-before instruments appeared (there were explanatory notes on the screen, which was great). . 🔖It was very different from the folk music performances in my mind, each program had something new (instruments/stage design/performance forms, etc.). . 🎏The stage design was carefully designed to match the theme of the song, showing the dedication of the staff behind the scenes❤️ In addition, the performers' traditional Chinese costumes and makeup were really floating, very immersive~ . 🫣The only shortcoming is that it was too short, not enough to enjoy this feast! . Let me talk about a few songs I liked: 1, 'Crossing'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely a cool performance that set the whole audience on fire! The 'rogue' of the musical instrument world, Suona vs rock band, traditional and modern crossover fusion, Suona overpowering! Listening to hardcore rock and psychedelic electronic music at a folk music concert, this experience is absolutely unique~ . 2, 'Silk Road'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The finale of the whole show, all the performers and instruments made their appearance. It was as if I had crossed the Hexi Corridor and embarked on the Silk Road, with the beauty of the frontier before my eyes. . 3, 'Fire Dance'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The passion of Chinese and Western drum music collided to create sparks, each side had their own battle (it reminded me of the 'Chinese and foreign war' in 'Our Shining Days', it had that flavor) A sound of Xiao music started, and the two 'sparks' seemed to merge together, giving a bit of warmth to those who were stunned by the cold wind🔥🔥 . 3, 'Drinking Song'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adapted from 'Ambush on All Sides' and 'Overlord Unarms', it tells the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji's farewell, with Pipa solo and Peking Opera solo singing, interpreting a deep love and reluctance. (I'm about to cry) . 4, 'Yu Xi'⭐️⭐️⭐️ The performance form of Peking Opera + Pipa solo was refreshing, the instrument and performance complemented each other, 'force to pull the mountain', unchanging love, perfectly conveyed the character's emotional changes. . 5, 'Fire Dance'⭐️⭐️⭐️ The moment the Chinese drum🥁 sounded, I was shocked! Coupled with the background of Chinese red, it can indeed 'dance out the majesty and grandeur of life'👀 . 6, 'Bee Flying'⭐️⭐️⭐ Adapted from 'Flight of the Bumblebee', which is originally a very fast melody, usually used to show the playing skills of instruments such as piano and violin, the performance of folk music and the performer's guidance for the whole audience to interact, the live effect is different, everyone can go to the scene to feel it. . 🎊In summary, it was a visual and auditory feast that integrated innovation! Highly recommended👍🏻 . ❤️This round, Shanghai Concert Hall's new resident performance 'Maritime Folk Music' will continue until August 5, a great place to upgrade and check in for the summer vacation.
