CCTV "Avenue of Stars" the first weekly champion and monthly champion, the 2005 overall champion. [
The first weekly winner and monthly winner of the "Avenue of Stars" on CCTV, the champion of 2005.
In the 2006 Spring Festival Gala, Wu Yanze, Dai Yuqiang and a little-known singer A Bao appeared together to sing "The Sun Rises on the Grassland". Unexpectedly, the most colorful is not the so-called "world's fourth tenor", nor is it "old and strong" Wu Yanze, but the stage name of the folk singer called A Bao. A Bao's soprano voice pierced through the clouds and sky, and in his penetrating singing, he combined a staccato treatment with twists and turns that were close to the feelings of the appreciators.
People are impressed by a singer named Po. In fact, Po is not a newcomer to the world of singing; he has been on the road for 20 years.
Abao grew up in the countryside, in the words of many musicians, that is, from a young age on the folk music, so he was particularly interested in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia folk songs, coupled with a good sense of music, the voice leaps high and walks low to come and go freely, so, in 1986 on the breakthrough to sing in Datong, Shanxi Province, and, specializing in singing folk songs in the Northwest. As a singer for a long time, Po is also quite popular, so, always want to test their level through the competition. However, every time on the field, he was always considered by the judges "singing style is not authentic", "vocal method is not scientific", therefore, early eliminated. However, Po was not discouraged, usually, he went to the northwest to collect folk songs, consulting the old artists, and then according to his own voice characteristics for refinement. Every time he learns a song, he likes to study the versions sung by many people, and then process them, "In quite a few original folk songs, I will add some popular components to sing, because this will be close to the public, and easy to be accepted by everyone."
With a tenacious spirit, Bao wanted to prove his worth through large-scale competitions. Finally, in October 2004, in CCTV's "Avenue of Stars" program, he won the weekly and monthly championships with his distinctive and unique singing voice, as well as the bronze medal in the Western Folk Song Competition. Although these awards were not enough to draw attention to him, A Bao is very content, but still returned to the Loess Plateau, still quietly engaged in the collection of original folk songs and singing.
Bo, who has never studied vocal music, made a splash at the Spring Festival Gala, and although it was a little late for him, he still has plenty of opportunities to broaden his development in the prime of his life. His first album was released last year. He also has a large collection of first-hand folk song materials from the folk, and wants to continue to let more people know through his own processing. He also has a wish: "If I have money, I will go to the poor areas of Jin, Shaanxi and Mongolia, where I collect folk songs, to subsidize local children who are out of school. Because I was there and it was so touching."
"I'd rather be a folk artist in peace"
Refreshingly honest, Bao politely refused to be packaged
At the rehearsal site of CCTV's Spring Festival gala, Bao was courted by many as a civilian star. This champion singer from CCTV's famous brand program "Avenue of Stars", in this year's Spring Festival Gala with Wu Yanze, Dai Yuqiang, two famous tenor singers together chorus a song "the grassland rises on the Sun", the three American, ethnic and popular China's highest voice to the traditional folk song to the breathtaking.
Bo, who walked off the stage, was full of confidence and could tell he was quite happy with his performance. He told reporters, if Dai Yuqiang is listening to the songs of Mr. Wu Yanze grew up, then he is the two predecessors of the "loyal fans", "is that these artists led me on the road of singing today."
A voice legend
Arbaugh, an artist who has worked hard to become a true folk artist, is creating a voice legend. He has a metallic tone, lightning penetration and extremely rare treble, he did not have access to music education, experts believe that the vocal method is unscientific, to participate in the competition is often eliminated in the first round, and was rejected by all the professional art troupes, but A Bao in the folk of the vast soil of the tenacious growth of his simple and natural from the bottom of the heart of the cry touched the hearts of countless people. He was the first weekly, monthly and yearly champion in CCTV's famous program "Avenue of Stars". He is the first local folk singer to officially release a record album in the country. [edit paragraph] My story -- tell you a real Po
(Po personally penned)
Hello, I'm Po, the following tell you a most real me. My name is Zhang, Po was my nickname in high school, because there was a TV show in which there was a man named Po who looked like me, and my classmates called me that. I grew up loving to sing, my father was a participant in the anti-Japanese old eight-road, by my father's influence like GuoLanYing kind of soil folk songs, the folk song comprehension is relatively fast, I was four years old with the literary propaganda team on stage solo, six years old can be "brother and sister to open up the land" all sung down. At the age of six, I could sing "Brother and Sister Open the Land" in its entirety. The village next to my home was called Zhoujiadian, and there was an old entertainer named Xingru, who drank every day, got drunk every time he drank, and sang every time he got drunk. When other children were scared away by his drunkenness, I liked to listen to him quietly, and that was my first experience of vernacular music. The wilderness and farmland next to my house became a big stage for me to sing alone and often to my heart's content. When I was 12 years old, I was admitted to the Datong Art School with particularly good results, but the back door was very common there, and when I was happily preparing to go to school, I realized that I had been replaced by someone in the city, and that a small place in a junior college would make human nature so despicable and shameless, and for a child who regarded singing as his life, that was such a deep kind of mutilation, and this is still a wound deep inside of my heart that I can never heal. This is still a deep wound in my heart that can never be healed. The flower of my life withered before it bloomed, and I became withdrawn and introverted. My entire childhood was spent in gray and melancholy, and I was rejected by all the professional groups in Tatung. From the age of 12, my greatest wish was to be far away from Datong. By eighty-six years in Datong, the only music cafe to find a singing opportunity, is far more popular than the same stage of the city singing and dancing troupe of professional actors, did not sing a few days to be squeezed out of the raw, and then followed a variety of performances of the troupe to go to the troupe, began nearly 20 years of wandering around the wandering days. 1994, a professor of the Department of Music of the University of the United Kingdom was very excited to listen to me sing, and returned to his country to send me the admission notice, I rushed back to Datong, I was very excited, and I was very excited, and then returned to the city to sing, but I was very excited. I rushed back to Datong to do passport, ran a week, even the relevant departments can not be seen, it is difficult to come across, the other side of an opening to five thousand dollars, a gas I transferred the account to a county in the south, where in addition to the normal costs do not have to pay a penny more, the passport, although done, but the date of commencement of the school year is over the eventual schooling is delayed.
I have participated in countless singing competitions, almost always in the first round of the elimination, the experts said that my singing method is not scientific vocal position is not right, so far there is no official organization to accept me, the reason is very simple, because I am an amateur. I sing the Jin-Shaanxi-Mongolia folk songs, Jinbei, Shaanxi and western Inner Mongolia language and culture and folk songs are very close, such as Shaanxi's Xin Tian You to the Shanxi side of the mountain called the song, to Inner Mongolia is called climbing the mountain tune. Jin, Shaanxi and Mongolia folk songs are one of the most beautiful folk songs in the world. The way I learn folk songs is to visit the old folk artists in the three places, now I have recorded a lot of very precious sound materials, because the younger generation has long stopped listening to these earthy things, and now these old artists are often dead and out of business, and I will sing these collected folk songs in a slightly modern musical arrangement. In addition, in the process of collecting folk songs outside the deepest feelings are those street performers, nowadays the stars can get one or two hundred thousand dollars for singing a few songs, but those street performers sing a day to earn only a few dollars.
My style of singing is different from that of all the folk singers, and I have my own system and style. Because singing has never been taught, like a wild child to eat a hundred meals grew up, is to do all the folk singers as a teacher, everyone is different, there are places worth learning, I sing "Shandan flowers bloom red colorful" when I sang all the people sang the information are listened to, the good will be stolen, and then add their own processing to sing, and even join some of the popular ingredients, because the popularity of the song is not the same. Even add some popular ingredients, because the popular is the most close to life is the easiest for the people to accept. I was born in the Plateau on the Plateau, singing folk songs by the North Road Bonzi and Er Rantai influence, so my "Shandan flowers bloom red" in the North Road Bonzi's high accent, and then in the middle of the "fast to welcome our loved ones into the" "into the" word was very flat, and the "into the" word was originally very flat. The word "in" turned out to be very flat, I used the two-people stage of the warble cavity of the word "in" upward warble a bit, so that there is a lot of flavor. I think it's more important to sing in your own style than to sound like a famous person.
Singing for almost twenty years is still unknown, the heart is very ashamed, ashamed of themselves ashamed of everyone more ashamed of parents! But after all, only a very small number of people become famous, there are a lot of complicated factors in the middle. I'm still lucky to be able to sing to fill my belly, I often go to the remote countryside picking, I know that in the countryside, there are more people singing their whole life is still obscure or even poor, I will give them the most unlimited respect, respect for their spirit, that is the soul of the folk song! It is precisely because of the silent legacy of countless such untalented people over the centuries that you can hear Po's songs here today. So many years of floating, accustomed to seeing the world's cool, accustomed to seeing the city look down on the countryside, the professional look down on the amateur, the garden can not be only one kind of flowers, each flower is not necessarily red, it is because of the colorful we will feel that the world is very beautiful. Whether or not there is no one to water, the flowers have to open, since it did not grow in the field, and can not enter the garden, let me do in the valley of the lonesome lilies, wild lilies like spring, maybe it is a coincidence, the original wild lilies is Shandandandan. Folk songs and society as much as the need for diversity, everyone has their own sky and stage, God gave us eyes is to want us to observe, to observe this colorful world, to give us ears is to want us to listen to, listen to the natural world of different voices, if the world is only a color a voice, then we would rather be blind and deaf!
My biggest wish is that through the efforts of our generation, we can make local folk songs have a place in the Chinese singing world. I also have another wish: when I have money in the future, I will go to the poor areas of Jin, Shaanxi and Mongolia, where I collect folk songs, to subsidize local children who are out of school.
