Nandu News Reporter Ding Huifeng Intern Liang Xiaoxuan It coincides with the 50th anniversary of Hong Kong Cantonese pop music, and there are also new works in Guangzhou. On April 27, there will be a concert "Sing My Country" at the Grand Theater. The singing king Mai Zijie, the leader of the new generation Wang Chenrui, and the singer-songwriter Deng Zhishun will join forces with the Grand Formation Cantonese Choir to present a concert that only sings local original music. People wrote about the Cantonese singing concert in Guangzhou.
Just past April 21st, local Guangzhou singer-songwriter Deng Zhishun joined forces with the Cantonese Choir, Nightingale Rose Women's Band and other musicians to hold a music pop-up event at Tianhe vlab Creative Park, singing including "Tianhe" There were many original Cantonese songs including "Mr. Goose Pond Boating" and "The Banyan Tree Head Is Still Here", which received endless applause from the audience.

This pop-up event is the prelude to "Sing the Song of My Place" hosted by the emerging music label "Moon and Song". On the night of April 27, there will not only be veteran singers from Guangdong like Mai Zijie, but also Wang Chenrui, a powerful singer of the new generation, and Deng Zhishun, a male singer-songwriter who has been active in the Guangzhou music scene in recent years. The theme "Singing Songs from My Place" has a strong sense of locality. In a climate where Cantonese covers of all sizes are blooming, and Cantonese songs and "Hong Kong music" are making a comeback in various domestic variety shows, "local originality" seems to have not yet taken advantage of it. This spring breeze has attracted the attention of fans who like Cantonese songs.

singer Deng Chi-shun described the survival of original singers in Guangzhou as being caught between the cracks. The mainland market is relatively tolerant of the works of Mandarin singers, while the works of local Cantonese singers cannot avoid being compared with popular songs in the Hong Kong music scene. In addition, Hong Kong The music scene itself is highly protective, making it difficult for Cantonese songs created by local singers in Guangzhou to be disseminated in the mainland market and also unable to penetrate the Hong Kong market.

Promoting local original Cantonese songs in Guangzhou is a difficult road, but Deng Zhishun is not so discouraged. He spared no effort to promote the "Sing My Song" concert on April 27 to the audience at the pop-up concert. I hope fans will come and listen to local songs written by original Guangdong musicians and singers such as "The Source", "Sanyuanli", and "Under the Cage Forest".
