Taiwanese aboriginal music 老人飲酒歌

Elders Drinking Song by Difang Duana, with a modern twist. Listen to him sing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uROdVAV1zQo

Lyrics:

Friends, we need this hard work. We the people of the land.
Let us not despise it!
Friends, we will undertake this difficult task with joy,
So that we may live off of the fruit of our labour
Friends, have no fear of the difficulties, nor the burning sun,
For we are only doing our duty!

The song was plagiarised by Enigma in "Return to Innocence".

Beautiful music with mixed traditional and modern elements. Do they have CD out?

[mrsbudak]

Sorry, I do not know what group this is. Thus I do not know if they have a CD out.

Enigma has a song called Return to Innocence, which has this piece in it. It is great music but he did not make the music. He took this piece and incorporated it into his music.

[BAIYUE1]

Taiwanese culture so good!

@DMortician Nope.. stole. They took this one part without asking for permission or anything. It was recorded somewhere from some show and the ppl from enigma or virgin records just put it on their CD. There even was a negotiation (?) about this. Difang won because he was right. He received an unknown amount of money as a

compensation (kind of).

[DMortician]

Enigma borrowed this piece of music, not stolen. They're genre is world beat, world music , not some hip-hop crap.

[Yangsen]

@CQuerro Return to Innocence borrow this original piece without giving it credit.

@jfl5124 from the voice, i think that the singer is Leo Chen. You could look for cds of the group / publisher "wildfire"

[jfl5124]

@Jessica930724 I live in Taiwan, and I am of Pingpu descent. I would like to buy two copies of this CD. Please tell me how to contact your family.

[Jessica930724]

@jfl5124 I don't know if you got my last answer but it doesn't matter anyway. xD

So we have some CD's at home. Do you live in Taiwan?

I don't... so yeah.

Maybe you could find some of those CD in several recordshops in Taiwan.

Maybe in Taitung :)

That's whrer I am from and that's our tribe's music :)
