Afterquake: A Music Video from Wenchuan
Posted on May 12, 2009 by Kaiser Kuo | Filed under: Music Videos, Society, Video News
We posted earlier today about Afterquake, a music relief project to commemorate last year’s devastating earthquake in Sichuan. Here’s a terrific music video that Luke Mines just sent us. This is what he has to say about it:
The song is called “Sala”. It is a traditional Qiang minority song, but all the kids in Wenchuan seem to know it be they Han or other minorities. The kids called it a guo zhuang song (锅庄) which apparently means you dance it around a fire. The main girl is named Luo Shuang (罗霜), a 14 year old first year middle school student from Wenchuan County. She is Han zu. Her mother appears at the end of the video. Produced by Abigail Washburn and Dave Liang. Shot and edited by Luke Mines.
Luke tells us that you can download the Afterquake tracks from China Mobile Music here.
