很久沒有敬我了你 "On the Road"

I saw an ad on the Taipei Metro this morning. Aboriginal music in the background, and the faces of award-winning aboriginal singer-song writers. A story about people from the east coast of Formosa, traveling with their music, and this time, for the first time ever, they are bringing their traditional songs and dances into the grand settings of National Concert Hall in Taipei.

The advertising promotes the show as the first aboriginal movie musical which integrates songs and tunes of the Beinan tribe with classical music. Among the performers is Kimbo (De-Fu Hu; 胡德夫), who is often credited as the Father of Taiwanese Folksong, and a pioneer in the Fromosan Aboriginal rights movements.

I was immediately hooked, and went out to buy tickets almost immediately at the local convenient store. With a few clicks, I got tickets, and was super excited.

The concert is in three hours!

這是一個圍繞在原住民古調，有關於原住民歌手音樂夢想實

現歷程，以及指揮尋找音樂記憶"
