\nTaiwu Ancient Ballads Troupe: Pre-WOMAD Concert
\nThe songs of Mt. Taiwu at the world's biggest festival!
\n\n
\n\n
WOMAD is an annual celebration of art that is watched by the world. Since the first WOMAD in 1980, it has become highly developed and symbolic.
\n\nThe Taiwu Ancient Ballads Troupe has been invited to perform at WOMADelaide and WOMAD New Zealand in March, and before they set off, they will give a pre-departure concert for indigenous folk music lovers in Taiwan.
\n
The first half of the concert, “Ancient Ballads in Acapella,” will allow listeners an immersion into the beauty of pure vocals; during the second half, “Crossover Dynamics,” the guitar, cello, keyboard, and percussion will be incorporated into all-new rearrangements. Elements of light electronic music will also be added, creating a relaxing atmosphere of joy for all who attend regardless of their age.
\n
Diversity in age will also be seen in the performers themselves. The voices of elderly singers, resonating with a sense of ritual solemnity, will be accompanied by younger singers in a heightened display of the richness and refinement of Paiwan-tribe choral singing.

The Taiwu Ancient Ballads Troupe
\n\nThe Taiwu Ancient Ballads Troupe was formed at the Taiwu Elementary School in Taiwan. In 2002, Camake VALAULE began teaching at the school and led his students in taking part in traditional singing competitions, in part to work toward passing down the legacy of Paiwan tribal singing. VALAULE began documenting ancient Paiwan songs through oral accounts and speeches from tribal elders.
\n\nThe Taiwu Ancient Ballads has performed at venues in the US, Germany, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia, Switzerland, China, and Japan. The troupe has been invited to perform at WOMADelaide and WOMAD New Zealand in March, 2019. They're the first Taiwanese group to perform on the main stage of WOMAD. They have also been involved in collaborations with pipa master Wu Man and Grammy Award-winning ukulele guru Daniel Ho. Their work has been described as “heavenly music that allows one to see the mountains and hear the breeze.”
