(Central News Agency reporter Xiao Boyang, Nantou County, 9th) The Nantou County Government will hold the Indigenous Music Festival on June 20 and 21 in Puli Township. Today, it promoted the event, which includes concerts, a singing competition, and dance performances by five tribes, combining pop music, original compositions, and traditional dance to help the public understand Indigenous culture.
The County Government's Indigenous Peoples Administration will host the "Nantou Hui Alang Indigenous Music Festival" at the Fuxing Hot Spring Area. The event's theme is "Hui Alang," symbolizing a return to the tribe and cultural roots. Through concerts, a singing competition, and dance performances by five tribes, it will showcase the musical energy and cultural heritage of Nantou's Indigenous peoples.
County Government Secretary-General Li Liangzhu attended and stated, "The county government continues to promote the preservation and inheritance of Indigenous culture and the cultivation of distinctive industries. The music festival combines pop music, original compositions, and traditional dance, allowing the public to understand Indigenous culture and providing a stage for the great voices of the tribes. The event coincides with the 'Nantou Chocolate Coffee Festival,' so we welcome everyone to come for coffee, chocolate, and Indigenous music."
The Indigenous Peoples Administration stated that the evening concert on the 20th, "Indigenous Night," will feature performances by娄峻硕, Fan Yichen, Xu Huaiyu, Black Whirlwind, and Abao. On the afternoon of the 21st, the finals of the "Touhao Golden Voice" Nantou Original Voice Star Singing Competition will be held. After nearly two months, finalists were selected from nearly 170 applicants. The competition aims to encourage Indigenous youth to record tribal life through song. The evening performance on the 21st, "Five Tribes Dance Performance," will transform tribal ballads, body movements, and culture into a performance.
Lin Tingyu, Director of the Indigenous Peoples Administration, said, "Alang means 'going home' in the Seediq language. Nantou is the birthplace of many ethnic groups. Through this event, we invite everyone to return to the tribe, learn about Indigenous culture through music, competition, cultural inheritance, and tourism exchange, and further practice bringing culture back to life and voices back to the tribe."
