¡§Pop music is a cultural element that the public adores and is familiar with; it¡¦s the musical common denominator that people use to express their dreams and thoughts,¡¨ Council for Cultural Affairs Minister Emile Sheng (²±ªv¤¯) told the Taipei Times in an e-mail. ¡§We hope to convey to the world how Taiwanese people are flourishing in this democratic nation and are expressing their joy through pop music.¡¨
¡§We selected these seven acts because they are the most representative singers across the spectrum,¡¨ concert director Linda Chuang (²ø¨ØºÕ) told the Taipei Times on Tuesday. ¡§Needless to say, A-mei is the most iconic of Taiwan¡¦s pop divas; and Elva and Show represent the commercial and popular taste. Jody caters to the Hoklo [commonly known as Taiwanese] audiences, while Fei delivers the timeless classics of Mando-pop oldies. Sodagreen offers a taste for the culturati and the indie spirit.¡¨
Sheng highlighted the country¡¦s role in the region¡¦s music industry.
¡§Taiwan¡¦s music industry has been the pioneer and leader in the global Mando-pop world; pop music carries the significance of cultural evolution,¡¨ he said. ¡§With this concert, we want to use music to connect Taiwan¡¦s past, present and future to sing about the deepest voices from the different eras of Taiwan.¡¨
