太巴朗民謠 Tai-Ba-Lang Folksong



From the musical, On the Road (Haven't toasted me for a long time, you!)! Tai-ba-lang (meaning "crab", because of the abundance of crabs in the nearby creek) is a mountain region on the eastern part of Hualian, rumoured to be the birthplace of the Amis tribe.

"Hohaiyan" means "roar, ocean" in the Amis language. You can almost feel the majesty of the mountains and the sea, and the purity of the aboriginals singing and dancing in the plains of their homeland...
