World Music: Kou Chou Ching, "Black Heart"

World Music: Kou Chou Ching, "Black Heart"

(Taiwan) Here is a wonderfully creative (and timely) video from a Taiwanese Hip Hop group. This is what they have to say: "What kind of world is this? What kind of life do we live? Even as science has become increasingly advanced, none of the "four necessary things for life" -- food, clothing, shelter, transportation -- are free of darkness. Be careful: even the water you drink might have problems. Daily the television uncovers new scandals... What can we eat? What can we wear? What can we use? The conscience of businessmen has been blackened, so that they only care about money. In this tune, we sample the most popular tune from a genre of Taiwanese music called Admonishment Songs, 'Jiang-Hu Tune.' In Taiwanese Opera, it is also known as 'Medicine Seller's Tune.' Vocals feature our friend Hui-Ling, who employs Taiwanese Opera technique to express in music a feeling of learning from past wounds. We hope that everyone will pay close attention to the problem of dangerous consumer goods and be careful.
