Re: African girl performance Suzhou
noo Bella: first of all is the language, Suzhou dialect is very difficult, for example, there is a word "do not know save a few people", the "know" here in Suzhou dialect pronunciation is very difficult, I am not very accurate. Another example is the first four words of "5000 years ago". It took me two weeks to learn. Sometimes I have not enough time to see Mr. Zhou, so I send my voice WeChat to my teacher. After listening to it, voice tells me how to change it. The harp is not easy, because it can only use index fingers and thumbs. Sometimes I accidentally use other fingers. But I think Suzhou dialect is beautiful, melody is different from our singing, it feels more three-dimensional, and the mouth needs more force.
Beiqing Bao: what are your impressive things about learning Pingtan?
Nobela: I sing the song of Shennong, that is, the story of Shennong. I remember Shennong tasting a hundred grass, and finally eating the weeds. I didn't care about myself before dying, but reminded others not to eat this kind of grass. I was very moved by the spirit of "sacrifice yourself for people" in Chinese culture.
I told my dad before that I learned new musical instruments and Pingtan in China. He liked music and taught me musical instruments from an early age. When he heard this, he was very happy. He said that when I returned to China, I would teach him three string harp and Pingtan.
Beiqing Bao: what are the plans for the Pingtan performance in the future?
Nobela: prepare for the first 28 days of the game, I want to win, but win or lose, I will stick to it. I have told the teacher that I want to continue to learn Pingtan, which is an interest for me.
