I Memorized This Old Man All the same Our Young Era
Light music , used to be a sort of countrymen’s steps , a sort of lightly free steps .Beyond the sacred classics, it still need security guarantee to open an unorthodox path at that age.
In China, Paul Mauriat used to inspire our enthusiasm in the 1980s, which was romantic and simple. But what’s more , he shouldered the role of social transformation , “avoiding the impotant points and dwelling on the trivial ” .He died in some moment in the long path of history. But I believe he will be regarded as a gift of our lives and frequently taken out and looked at.
Light music , an occident spearhead sweeping in continents .The word “light music” , in 1980s mainland , was not merely musically open , but stood for progress of ideology .
Sanyo radio, “loving hometown”, Teresa Teng, social dance, world’s three major light music orchestras and Oriental Dance and Song Group… These popular terms the musical and social dynamics of an era.
Even though the “light music” is the word today has been covered with dust,Even the magazine “light music” has long had a better-sounded alternative to cater the child’s , we still regard its popular as a popular culture perspective.
This has two implications, first, awareness and understanding of pop music is always from shallow to deep, world-particularly for the three light music Paul Mauriat is a very appropriate level;Second, the “light” of “light music” abstruse deep, it almost has exposed some of those years of popular music bias.
For instance , Jazz , in that year , bore the notoriety “voice of decadence” , partly out of the mistranslation on The Beat Generation closely related with Jazz(Beat is positive in its acceptation).
