Sing A Song: Taiwan in Sound opens at National Museum of Taiwan History
Tainan, Taiwan, April 6, 2016
Sing A Song: Taiwan in Sound, a Taiwan music history exhibition, co-organized by Min-Nan Culture Studies Center at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) and National Museum of Taiwan History, now opens at National Museum of Taiwan History in Taipei.
The exhibition features Taiwan’s early recording will run through November 27
A collection of albums was selected for its significance to mark a epoch and represent a different generation, while featuring the most splendid stars in the history of Taiwan's musical development.
The quantity of historical sound recordings is enormous, and the range is boundless. Music is certainly the main subject.
Beautiful voices have been recorded, distributed as commodities, then passed on as cultural heritage.
From the 1920s, anthropologists, musicologists and linguists entered the mountains of Taiwan with recording equipment to record the sounds of Taiwan.
In keeping with scholarly research, these recordings are diverse and meticulously annotated. They deserve attentive listening, as through them we can smell the air of the wilderness, 50 or 80 years ago.
