[Coverage] Taiwan X
Malaysia Musician Exchange Media Taiwan Beats Showcase
Kuala Lumpur, September
2018 - Taiwan X Malaysia Musician Exchange, Music Showcase was in the Kuala
Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) on 3rd September 2018. It was a great musical night with a
variety of singing performances from Taiwan
Musicians!
Kick
starting the night, Reza Salleh took
the stage, backed by a trio consisting of bass guitar, violin and percussion.
Although for many in that hall, it was their encounter with Reza (myself
included), many fell under his spell even before the first song ended. Reza’s
music is easily relatable, based upon the most common things/scenarios around
us daily.
Next
up was Kowen 柯智棠, who was performing for
the first time in Malaysia. His unique voice, husky and full of emotion
captivated the audience from the first note itself. Kowen was backed by his
band, whom stood by him through the production of his latest album 《吟游》.
Fang Wu 吳汶芳 ’s performance
started off with an interesting opening, featuring sounds from recyclable
items. The band collected unwanted items like cardboard boxes, plastic bottles,
chips container, etc. from around KL; and made them into instruments and
incorporating into the first song. Fang’s set was ocean and nature-preservation
themed. During her performance, Fang also shared with the audience that she is
incorporating environmental preservation into her daily life. For example,
bringing own eating utensils instead of using the disposable ones; and bringing
along a water bottle instead of just buying a disposable drinking water bottle.
During
Paudull 陳建年’s performance, he was
slightly nervous that even his hands were trembling. He was worried whether his
music will be accepted here. However, the crowd was instantly mesmerized by his
voice and music. Throughout the performance, Paudull’s sincerity and pleasant
attitude made him a crowd favourite. Paudull also prepared a surprise for the
audience when he suddenly added the local favorite “Rasa Sayang” into his
performance. After his 40mins performance, the crowd were still eager for more,
and he went back on stage for a last encore song.
