KAADA - SMIGER

[cefran1]

The music doesn't come even close to either the story, or more importantly, the choreography. This is stupid.

[VyleKyle]

This is how upper-middle class college kids everywhere interpret communism. I'm not a conservative or a liberal, but I WOULD like to tattoo a picture of Che Guevara on each of their asses and send them (via time machine) to communist Russia at its worst.

[wayupn]

looks like one of the three legal operas during the culture revolution.

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Only two operas were legal during the cultural Revolution.

This was not one of those.

[Weihushan]

The pictures are from "prairie children" a revolutionary dance drama from the chinese cultural revolution, first staged 1971.

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Really? I was certain this was 'Lily's Smell Sweeter Than Gunpowder, And Other Capitalist Propaganda', the only opera ever written by the Chairman himself.

[Weihushan]

Politics aside, Mao is considered one of modern China's most influential literary figures, and was an avid poet, mainly in the classical ci and shi forms. His poems are all in the traditional Chinese verse style.

[BlahBlahYouWho]

And may he receive all the good due him.

I'm a Man of the West, myself. Biased, perhaps, certainly limiting, but I find its study easily embraced by a contemporary mindset.

[ardistic]

i find this video pretty creepy. the music is nice, but combined with the video gives me an eerie feeling.

[Rupertsonionloving]

You're supposed to embrace the eerie feeling, not think its eerie, if that makes sense...(does)

[kloten]

exactly. Like a tiger is more than pretty stripes, it needs teeth and claws.

[kyle784]

I think it's a beautiful combination of music and other forms of art

[blakohli8ios]

Although I found very smart the matching between the video and the music, I believe that it wasn't necessary ... Such song are here to create pictures in our minds ... Such is their beauty ...

[gharju]

yes well so what? you won't loose that ability!

[llenadelagrimaz2]

justin karpel

[richtier]

i want the song they made for the game "coil" with justin karpel, where can i find that song?

[DanPMK]

To others looking for that song, it's YT video "UW18idL8X_o"

I told richtier a while ago but just incase anyone else wants to know, I posted it here too.

[iGaloshes]

yeah, me too.

[richtier]

@iGaloshes the song is called "from here on it got rough", it is in the related videos

[iGaloshes]

@richtier thank you : D

[KistaKeke77]

this is like hypnotising

[WHOKILLEDTHESMURFS]

Kadda is a musical genius

[hugodiogo]

I got all the albuns and i think "Care" is the best music he ever created! And also the album "Tank you for giving me your..." i think is the best!! I cannot found any video for "care". Is there one?

[moggha]

simply beautiful

[IvanIllyn]

Thanks for sharing!

Kaada - is great, but do you have other parts or, maybe, the whole recording of ballet?

[themockingbird1986]

Smiger is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard in a long time.

[srtaninfadelica]

I love this song, I love Kaada. He is such a genius.

[looooggggi]

amazing

[bnpjr]

This was not made for the song, i found something :

search "prairie children" in youtube...

but i can't find any information about it...

i would really enjoy to see the whole movie, please someone help me !

[mrratigan]

One of the best albums of 2006. Period.

It is a soundtrack for the film you only see in dreams.

[JapeUK]

I've loved this video for a long time but was it made for the song or did Kaada just use (what looks like) Mongolian Communist Propaganda?

[peacespotting]

wow

[Tborvik]

very nice

[kagelost]

Amazing music.One of his greatest songs.Thanx for the clip.
