When the musicians of The Hohak Band plant rice in the organic farms of Taitung, Taiwan, food for the soul springs forth with a mixture of diverse elements. Music, frangance, soil, plants, body, and labor combine in a way that is both organic and creative. The musical elements of this album include folk, bossa nova, mountain songs of the Hakka people, and traditional songs of the Amis tribe to present the beauty of LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) and a love of the land. Chen Guan-yu, the lead vocalist of The Hohak Band began to plant rice in the organic farms, focusing on the special considerations relevant to organic rice production, including transplanting, weeding, compost fertilizing, and harvesting. For Chen, rice planting became a full-body experience: his feet tenderly touched the softness of the soil; his hands channeled an innate wisdom of farming; and his ears perceived the unmistakable song of the rice. During this period of fertile creativity in his own musical writing, Chen invited friends, including movie directors, photographers, folk singers and musicians to experience the natural setting in Taitung, and to share their respective artistic and creative talents. They discovered ways to treat the soil considerately, to respect all living things and to care for the Earth. Their love for rice and the earth has come to fruition in their musical works. ----------------------------------------­------------------------------------------------------ 【購買CD】 ►風潮音樂:http://store.windmusic.com.tw/zh/CD/TCD-9193 ►博客來:http://www.books.com.tw/exep/cdfile.php?item=0020129542 【購買數位音樂】 ►iTunes:http://goo.gl/WmUz76 ►MuziU:http://ppt.cc/P5SM ----------------------------------------­------------------------------------------------------ 加入風潮音樂社群: 風潮音樂:https://facebook.com/windmusic Fun數位@風潮音樂:https://facebook.com/digifun.windmusic 風潮音樂G+:https://google.com/+WindmusicTw Join us at facebook: http://facebook.com/windmusic.intl Follow us at Twitter:https://twitter.com/WindMusicUS ----------------------------------------­------------------------------------------------------ 2009.01.17.女巫店演出.現場最年輕的幼稚園觀眾開心加入童聲合唱(演出:好客愛吃飯;童聲:黃箏黃笙;攝影:王佳真)
