I agree with fibitiffen--this was my favorite dance in the performance. Fantastic! But i'd be happy to see the entire show again. Thanks for posting it--I've been searching for it!
Dynamic Yunnan on tour in Hong Kong yesterday night. I went to the show. They are all gorgeous. I was fascinated by their dancing and music. they sang full of merry and lively. I wish I could go to kunming and see again.

I saw the show a year ago, saw it twice because it was just so excellent and one of the best I've ever seen. This dance was my very favorite, thanks for posting it!!!
This kind of song they sang is named as "HAI CAI QIANG". It's a technique of singing. "Hai Cai" is a kind of plant live is water. There is a lake full of it in the eara where this kind of minority live. They always sing the songs when they working on the lake, so it got the name of "Hai Cai Qiang"
Hi, I'm doing research on the music of Yunnan. Are you sure this is a haicai qiang? Just because I hear Haicai Qiang is a highly polyphonic song (in other words it has many different melodic lines at the same time) & indeed it originates from Lugu Lake in Shiping County. However this seems to be homophonic (all the singers are singing the same melodic line)? If it is called "Flower Waist Dance Song," perhaps it is a different thing altogether? Though it is still Yi music but a different branch.
dynamic yunnan was by far the most beautiful performance i have ever seen. the atmosphere and drama and music are phenomenal and nothing i have ever seen (or will see) can match the profound impact it has had on me. i feel blessed to have witnessed such a masterpiece. it has been over a year now that i have been in china (beijing and kunming) everyday i wish for nothing more than to be back. it's videos like these that freshen my memories and keep me striving to fulfill my dream of going back.
I watched the performance in Kunming last Dec. Superb performance. Farmers or professional, it gets a standing ovation from me. I won't have it on MP3, does not do it justice cos the visuals are stunning - the costumes are wonderful.
Also, I don't think they're farmers. I mean that show goes on like every night. They have to rehearse and get ready and stuff, so they don't really have the time to farm. They're just a bunch of teenagers and adults looking to make a buck.
They were just chosen from farmers who were never trained professionally. I mean they were famer before, but now, they are the dancers of the team of "Dynamic Yunnan"
I'd love to see the entire show, wish they were still touring!
