This year's May Day holiday was not long and there were many people in the scenic spot, so I didn't go to the scenic spot to "see the head of the crowd". It happened that 2018 Cailu Music Festival was held in Xiamen Jimei, so I bought a ticket to participate in this music festival. After all, it was the first time to participate in a music festival, and I wanted to feel the atmosphere of the scene. From more than three o'clock in the afternoon to the evening, the overall feeling was pretty good, although I was a little tired standing all the time!
This year's Cailu Music Festival is different from the strawberry music festival and beach radio music festival held in Xiamen before. This time, the music form is more diverse, including ethnic, modern, electronic, hip hop and other diversified music forms. Although many bands are unfamiliar with their names, they are very well-known internationally, many of them are not popular, such as the original song "ONO is unique" of the dithering divine song "All Is You", and they won the "Top Ten Hot Singles of the Year" award at the Netease Cloud Music Original Ceremony by this single.
The Colourful Heron Music Festival lasted two days in total. I attended the festival the next day and listened to the works of about six or seven bands. Maybe it was a matter of personal appreciation style. Some of them were excellent but not very impressed. For example, the Saharadja band from Indonesia, one of the most famous world music bands in Asia, left without listening to all their performances. The following bands have the best atmosphere:
JungleMico Project
JUNGLEMICO PROJECT Live Electronic Orchestra was founded by famous musician Mico Liu Wei. Mico Liu Wei, the core musician of the band, played the drums very well. On the scene, we could feel the superb level brought by China's best electronic style drummers, and the charm of national elements colliding with electronic music. If you like it Electronic music style songs , then I will like it.
Liu Wei was once called the most creative drummer and music producer in China by the well-known magazine TIME OUT Beijing. Han Geng, Sa Dingding, Sila, Zhang Jie and other first-line singers acted as arrangers, producers and performers.
SISAY
SISAY is a band with a long history from Ecuador, a South American country. Founded in 1983, SISAY is composed of local aborigines. The band was created by the members' parents. It is an aboriginal band with rich music experience and professional performance group. Since its establishment, the band has won many awards around the world, served as Ecuador's cultural and music ambassador to foreign countries, and completed many cultural exchange activities.
The melodious Ronda Dole (that is, the Chinese musical instrument - the panpipe) is one of the important symbols of the band. With the percussion music with a strong sense of rhythm, it interprets the music of South American aborigines to a new height!
Favours！ (partial to the band)
This is a British psychedelic electronic band from Xiamen, formerly known as the Black Cat Band, and later renamed Favours! (partial to the band), many excellent works, recommended by the Voice of Music and other radio stations, included in the original list with Xiami Orange LIVE, saw music cover characters, Netease Cloud Music, Douban Music, etc.
The magnificent and grand arrangement, focusing on the synthetic timbre of atmosphere and the use of various arpeggios, together with the British guitar timbre, outlines their works. The stage effect and on-site atmosphere of this band at the Cailu Music Festival are quite good, of course, part of the reason is that they are local bands in Xiamen!
