If I’m not mistaken, I’ve been listening to Daiqing Tana (黛青塔娜 / Дайчин Тана) for quite a few months, so total surprised to find out that they’ll be performing in the latest season of I Am A Singer (我是歌手). Strange on its own, because we all know that Chinese people’s music taste is all sorts of conventional love ballad. And I love LOVE LaLa with all my bobo heart, but come one~ COME ON!
Now THAT’s a fuckin’ performance!
Also~ the mysterious Guan Zhe (关喆), who performed that catchy Beijing, Beijing, Wo Ai Beijing (北京，北京，我爱北京) number, will also be participating. Both he and HAYA Band (HAYA乐团) placed last.
If you’re interested, the performances (sans interruptions) are available on Xiami. Including the clean version of HAYA Band.
Also check out HAYA Band’s albums Migration (迁徙) and Crazy Horse (疯马), which are available on Xiami and iTunes. Apparently, you can also buy Migration on CDBaby, and there seems to be an up-to-date-ish Facebook page. However, the best place -always- is Weibo + DaiQing Tana’s.
Wow, I know this group only since 2014, discovering them randomly on YouTube, but at the first second of hearing Daiqing Tana’s voice I was under the spell.
Yet this performance managed to surprise me. It’s a bit different from all the other songs I’ve heard from them. And Daiqing Tana vocal prowess is simply amazing.
They ought to be more known in the rest of the world.
