Chapter 576: Folk or Folk Song?

Kaceline's amazing words made the scene quiet for a few seconds.

Cough cough cough.

Drink bath water or something.

It's not good to talk about it on TV.

Foreign friends are more bold and enthusiastic, and they really dare to talk about anything.

"Then your fans are really enthusiastic." Ye Weiyang twitched the corners of his mouth and caught the words.

After spending a few months abroad, he can still match the brain waves of foreign friends.

Just so happened that Xiangjun's "Qianbaidu" also came to an end.

With everyone's applause and thank you, Xu Can said without leaving any traces of the topic: "Kaceline, what music are you going to share with you this time? I can't wait."

When it comes to singing, Kaceline's vitality comes up immediately.

When chatting with everyone, some of hers couldn't talk together. After all, she had never been in the Chinese music scene and had no friendship with other guests.

But when it comes to music, Kaceline still feels that she has a say.

"Hey, you're right about this."

"I have also prepared a very special song today and I want to share it with you."

"It is a classic country ballad "Crying In The Rain" by Rolando, the most famous American folk singer in the last century!"

"I grew up listening to this song, and it was because of this song that I embarked on the path of a singer."

"I know that friends in China may be unfamiliar with this song, so I want to share this good music with you."

"Crying In The Rain", this is a very, very well-known country ballad song in the United States in the 1990s.

In terms of influence, it is probably similar to Ye Weiyang's "Childhood" in his previous life?

Anyway, it was a song that several generations have heard since childhood.

But like "Childhood", in a foreign country, the song became very famous.

Most Chinese people in this world probably have never heard of the song "Crying In The Rain".

So Kaceline hopes to bring this excellent pop music work that has influenced several generations of North America to Chinese audiences.

"Then let's listen carefully, this excellent work from the other side of the ocean."

Xu Can nodded with a smile and invited Kaceline to start her performance.

Kaceline didn't feel any pressure at all. She walked to the center of the courtyard with a smile. When the music accompaniment sounded, she sang this nice American folk song easily and casually.

“I'll never let you see”

(I will never let you see it)

“The way my broken heart is hurting me”

(The expression of my broken heart hurting me)

Warm and gentle, with some lingering singing, flowed out of Keselin's mouth.

As for rural folk songs, most of them walk in a gentle way, like the melodious feeling of the breeze.

It's like a good friend holding a guitar and singing his story softly beside you.

The relaxed and comfortable feeling immediately infected the guests on the scene.

Xiang Jun, who had just finished singing, leaned lazily on the sofa and said with some sigh: "You have to be an American when playing folk songs."

"The so-called folk singers in China nowadays have actually learned the American folk songs."

"And what I learned is only the level of a three-legged cat. If you want to say, it is better to be our own Chinese popular folk style."

"Where is this kind of folk songs in China?"

Yuan Ying was a little confused and asked curiously: "Teacher Xiang, aren't domestic folk singers singing local folk songs?"

"Then what is our own folk song in China?"

Xiangjun glanced at him and said with a smile: "We are in Xingcheng now."

"There is a very famous folk song in Xingcheng, "Black Hair Cutting Woodcutter", do you know?"

"The duet in the flower drum play "Liu Hai Cuts the Woodcutter" is actually a kind of local folk song."

"There are also folk songs for the southern Yunnan region, which are also our own folk songs of the Chinese."

"It's just that we call it folk songs!"

"In fact, this is the same as American folk songs. The popular folk songs in the United States also developed from the earliest local folk songs."

"It's just one called folk songs and the other called folk songs."

"We Chinese can also try to incorporate popular elements from this Chinese folk song to create local popular folk songs."

"Actually, I have been studying this style in the past few years. If it goes well, within two or three years, my first real Chinese folk album will be released."

Ye Weiyang did not agree with Xiang Jun's statement.

Although the folk style that is popular in the Chinese music scene is influenced by early American folk songs and Japanese rock.

However, the current independent folk songs have long taken a new path. They are local folk songs belonging to China, and are very different from the popular folk songs in the United States.

It cannot be discussed in the same way.

Folk songs are another style system, which are completely different from campus folk songs, and should not even be viewed as a whole.

If Xiangjun wants to make a pop music album that combines Chinese local folk songs, it should also create a new music style, rather than being generally divided into folk songs.

However, he frowned and still did not express his thoughts.

No matter how Xiangjun is talking about it, he is not good for him to refute him in front of the camera. This will easily give people the impression that he is popular and arrogant, and no one will give face.

"Teacher Xiang is not old yet, and he wants to create a new pop music system and style for the Chinese music scene. He is really a role model for us."

Ye Weiyang smiled and said, "I hope Teacher Xiang can succeed, so that I can also touch you to cross the river, haha."

Xiangjun laughed and said complacently: "It's easy to say, wait until I find the way first, and Teacher Ye can help me expand the route!"

“It’s just like the popular Chinese style.”

"You and I will once again open up a new path for the Chinese music scene!"

Ye Weiyang nodded in agreement, with a look that you were right at the senior.

But in fact, he was not interested in it at all in his heart.

Integrate folk songs into pop music?

Whoever loves to do this will do it!

Anyway, he doesn't do it.

Two music systems with completely different styles must be integrated together to create a stitching monster.

Why bother?

Popular Chinese-style music is just a shell of Chinese-style. Although it is composed using the pentagonal scale, the composition method is completely in the form of pop music.

The classical Chinese House Music has long been lost.

The current popular Chinese style can be said to be a new modern musical form, just a more retro lyrics.

However, folk songs have their own complete system. Now the people in southern Yunnan still have folk song festivals and sing folk songs every day.

Those folk songs Ye Weiyang has heard, from singing to music, are completely an independent form of music.

Do you have to put it in pop music?

It's like stewing Chinese and Western food together.

If it tastes delicious, there will be something wrong.

I don’t know how Xiangjun came up with this idea?

Perhaps it was because the popular Chinese style was perfected by Ye Weiyang, which made him feel that he was really awesome?

So I want to further transform Chinese folk music?

Well, let the brave Xiangjun do this by himself.
Chapter completed!
