台裔澳洲音乐家杨予菁 (Kim Yang) 在谈到她的歌曲「Fantasy(幻想)」的音乐影片时,有一个令人惊艳的故事。由她和 Sean O’Gorman 共同执导,影片一开始,予菁站在一片森林中,鸟叫声响起。当她开始唱歌时,画面在这个空灵的场景和一个室内工作室之间切换,随着充满渴望的深情歌词,她跳舞摇摆着。

Van Lefan, DJ CHIP$, Sophie Yung, and Iris Lee will all perform in the Granville Island Public Market Courtyard on Saturday afternoon.

温哥华音乐家兼环保人士乐凡(Van Lefan)对自小而来一直持有的内核价值观作出了调整。在台湾出生的她于11岁的时候与家人移民至枫树岭。她透过Zoom视频会议向Pancouver说:「我整辈子都觉得自己是来自台湾。」然而,她于去年到访该岛国的时候,由衷地觉得原住民才是台湾真正的首批居民。她是于排湾族传统领地的台东县产生这种觉悟。

溫哥華音樂家兼環保人士樂凡(Van Lefan)對自小而來一直持有的核心價值觀作出了調整。在台灣出生的她於11歲的時候與家人移民至楓樹嶺。她透過Zoom視訊會議向Pancouver說:「我整輩子都覺得自己是來自台灣。」然而,她於去年到訪該島國的時候,由衷地覺得原住民才是台灣真正的首批居民。她是於排灣族傳統領地的台東縣產生這種覺悟。

Lefan, who’s based in Vancouver, created a lush music video for “The Lesson” in traditional Paiwan territory in Taitung County in Taiwan.

All the pieces are already in place in Vancouver, but it will also take considerable effort from governments and media to make this happen.

Bova was invited to a music-writing camp in Taiwan, where the lyricist knew Tsai and ensured that their song was passed along to her.

The Jade Music Festival includes a visual component in the 700 block of Granville Street, which has been inspired by popular songs in Asia.

Magnetic Asia co-founder Justin Sweeting told Jade Music Festival delegates that his company’s ticketing arm now has an office in Ottawa.
