To put that more clearly, to explore another culture. As you both know, I have an enormous fascination with Asian culture, history, beliefs, and anything of the like. So much so, that I commonly listen to music in Asian dialects, watch their TV shows, and am currently learning one of their languages. Well, to be more accurate, I've delved into Japanese and Korean culture. Well, now I'm ready to delve in Chinese culture. Their history is one of the things I enjoy the most right now. I've always loved history, believe it or not. Before I got into my inner Asian [haha xD], I was really into the medieval age. It made me want to learn how to wield a sword and fight. When I became enraptured by the Japanese culture, that want turned into wanting to learn kendo, the art of Japanese sword fighting. [But then I realized how much gear you have to put on, and those shindo's must be reaaaally heavy..] Which ended up in an evolution in wanting to learn how to fence, especially because it's one of the few sports where men and woman are on entirely equal terms with each other.
I ended up babbling. XD Sorry 'bout that. I actually just wanted to make a quick entry to share a song with you, in Chinese. I don't know if it's Mandarin or Cantonese or another dialect, so that's a bit unknown. It's by Sky Wu (English) / Wu Si Kai (Chinese). I have to thank Christal for getting me into Chinese music with the Shanghai Restoration Project, who I'll also link down below. x] So you guys will get a taste of my interests in foreign music. :D
- Savana ☯
Sky Wu / Wu Si Kai - "Eighteen"
The Shanghai Restoration Project - "Diamonds"
Well, this one I have to explain. XD This is actually a remix, but it's one that I really love. It's the instrumental of "Nanjing Road" by TSRP [Heey, one initial away from being Brittany!], with vocals from Kanye West from his song "Diamond." TSRP isn't technically Chinese music. They're a Chinese electronic group. They incorporate traditional Chinese instruments into modern day hip hop beats and sing in English. What do you guys think of the songs, artists, or just the music in general? c:
I've been trying to share SRP with you guys! My favorite would probably be their album ZODIAC. Dave Liang is a lyrical genius. My favorite track on Zodiac is Rabbitual.
