野火樂集
Beautiful Haiyan~~ 他們從 山上 海邊 平原來...一路跟著歌聲,蜿蜒的路徑,找到一些唱歌長大的人,他們的聲音真是「野火燒不盡,春風吹又生」啊!他們將山裏的歌聲帶到平原,聚集在野火部落,唱著自己的歌。
唱給在這片土地上落腳生根的人聽;他們又漂洋過海,將聲音吟唱到更遠的遠方...
Wild Fire Music, Taiwan
Accompanying a group of people who grew up singing folk songs was a journey along the path of culture and music. They've brought their robust voices from the mountains to the plains, singing for the people who have come to inhabit this land. They've brought their music with them across the ocean to sing in an even more distant place, using their musical voices to tell people of different cultures and ethnicities:
“I'm an aborigine from Taiwan, and I'm singing my own music. We have a rich, multi-faceted culture, and we come from aboriginal tribes with beautiful, resonant voices. The ocean is our background music, and we are a group of people that simply loves to sing.”
The music of Taiwan's aborigines is an important starting point in the realm of World Music. In fact, there are already large numbers of people on the world music stage who are raving about these forms of music from Taiwan. The purpose of the Ignite Fire Concert Series was to create a true form of World Music that is uniquely Taiwanese. Through the music that they have created, Taiwan's aborigines can realize their own cultural ideals. Together they sing the songs, thereby planting new seeds which grow into plants that spread even more seeds. Through this process, the entire world can hear the music and voices of Taiwan's aborigines.
