Dao Lang 刀郎 is Han Chinese singer from Sichuan, China. Dao Lang's CD, 2002 年的第一場雪 The First Snows of 2002 (2002 Niande Diyi Chang Xue) released in 2003, made him an instant star in China. He sang with Alan Tam on the debut "Can't Say Goodbye". Dao Lang claims to have toured the Chinese cities of Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi'an, as well as the autonomous region of Tibet for more than four years as a young bar-hopping musician. He has been called the "Wang Luobin of the 21st century" and has performed modern rock adaptations of several of Wang Luobin's Western China-inspired folk songs, such as "Awariguli" (supposedly a Xinjiang Uyghur folk love song), "Flowers and Youth" (pinyin: Hua'er Yu Shaonian, a Hui Muslim song), and "At a Faraway Place" (pinyin: Zai Na Yaoyuan De Difang", a song from western China's Qinghai). He has also performed modern adaptations of such renowned old Chinese folk songs as "The Grapes of Turpan are Ripe" (pinyin: Tulufan De Putao Shu Liao) and the famous revolutionary song "Nanniwan".
Dao Lang is considered by Beijing Music Society in 2002 the best pop singer/artist of the year and the only two young artist that had received this honor are Cui Jian in 1987 and Huang Yujie in 2008.
Wow! Yet another beautiful folk song superbly sung by maestro Dao Lang. The lyrics are so romantic with matching natural scenery and local folks dressed in their finest. The song simply takes my breath away. Dao Lang is truly one of China's cultural treasures!
