How About Chinese Music?

[cosmiclobster]

and one other who name right now escapes me, but she succumed to Cancer this past Xmas, big HK star.

Mark: I think you're talking about Theresa Teng.

I mostly like the Tai Chi type of Chinese music, but I do like one song by the China Dolls (actually a Thai group). Their song is Wo Ai Ni. Hopefully, most of you know what that means. If you don't, say it to your sweetie affectionately. You will be handsomely rewarded!!! hehehe

Now if you want to talk about Korean or Japanese music, I.E. BoA or Utada Hikaru, thats's another story . . . .

se_lang, you are right, she just passed away last year and before her was her sister. I was there in GZ when they had her funeral in HK, and yes, I have her last 2 CD's, and Ling love them, and so do I.

 

Cosmic, one that I still like and can not get over is the 12 Girl Band. Just have to watch them, all of the old instruments

Anita Hui I think was her name

The aritist who died end of last year her name is Anita Mui

Last year is a sad year, we lost 3 of our great singers:

Roman Tam in 2002, Leslie Cheung in April of 2003(he committed suicide on the April Fool's day, at first we thought its a joke on that day.), and Anita Mui in Dec. of 2004.

sawadee, thanks for the input, I know that I have the last of the 2 CD that she made, and I do not mean the last. When I was there, it happened, and I had my wife get some of her CD's, and they are great. Thanks for correcting me. I just wish that I could read all of the CD that I hace bought there.

Leonard, you where the one that I was thinking about popping in with Kelly Chen. I remember your photo album.

Right, the only thing I hate about her music, is I cant understand a word of it...lol...lol... She has done a few English songs and most of the CD's that we get here are of very, very low standards as far as the music goes. I am quit sure that they are bootleg CD's. I have found a site called YesAsia.com that we can get all of her real CD's at. We have just ordered her newest CD from there and am waiting on pins and needles for it. This is a link to her web site if any of you guys are interested in her and her music:

http://www.kellyconcertoclub.com/

Thats easy, Kelly Chen is the best in Pop Chinese music.  If you guys get a chance, check her out, she is great.  My wife turned me on to her once she got here, and now there is no turning back.

Kelly is very pretty too and made many HK movies.

I have never seen any of her movies, I would love to see them though. The next time we go back to China, we are going to try and catch her in concert somewhere..

[hypoclear]

Here are some of my fav's

 

Some of you have already mentioned them as well.

 

Han Hung.. wonderful voice!

Faye Wong also great

 

Just heard this guy last night yang kun has a great sound with a latino flavor..

 

Eason Chan very good sound with some blues songs.

 

The 12 girl band.. heheh

 

I was watching their VCD I bought while Bea was getting ready to go out.. geeez I almost had tears in my eyes and I didn't know why, I told her.. she said that's because alot of the traditional innstruments are sad sounding.

 

I have always been impressed with them in that, concapared to others they are so well packaged! From the cloths they wear , to the sound to the footage of their concerts and other advertising, it is top level and way above alot of what you see here.

I love this song

 

Sui ran jing chang meng jian ni

Hai shi hao wu tou xu

Wai mian zheng zai xia zhe yu

Jing tian shi xing qi ji

BUT I DON'T KNOW

Ni qu na li

 

* Sui ran bu ceng huai yi ni

Hai shi tan te bu ding

Shui shi ni de na ge wei yi

Yuan liang wo huai yi zi ji

 

** Wo ming bai Wo yao de ai

Hui ba wo chong huai

Xiang yi ge xiao hai

Zhi dong zai ni huai li huai

Ni yao de ai

Bu zhi she yi lai

Yao xiang ge da nan hai

Feng chui you ri sai

Sheng huo zi you zi zai

I would like to recomment a good website that sells all kinds of Asian CDs, DVDs. YesAsia I used to buy a lot of CDs from their website, the headquarter is in HK, but they have North American free shipment service.

I like the folk song singer Albert Au. I have his 9 CD set, also bought from that website.

Mengxin: Thanks for the link! Great song! I shall have to go out in search of more music to augment my Chinese music collection.

[Jeikun]

Yeah, thanks for the link man. I'm sure that in a few months, I'm going to have all the Chinese music I could ever care to listen to and them some. Jun has a huge collection.

[tonado]

I like the Four Kings - Jacky Cheung, Leon, Aaron Kwok, and Andy Lau. I also like Twins.

That song is amazing!! Thank you so much for posting that. I think that is one of the greatest things about music, no matter what language or culture, you can enjoy it. Music has no boundary at all.
