The TATA band is a band composed of foreign friends from Ukraine, Cuba, Nepal, Nigeria, etc. They have been in China for many years, visited different cities, and have developed deep feelings for Heze, Shandong.
Recently, in order to better understand and experience Chinese music culture, all members of the band watched and interacted with the rap performance brought by the label "AL FOUR Peony Project" in Caozhou, the old city of Heze.
The TATA band came to the Heze Civic Cultural Center to experience the Heze local drama - Zaobang. As a national intangible cultural heritage, Zaobang has retained the traditional etiquette, life and social customs of the Chinese nation, and inherited ancient performance skills and techniques.
The TATA band put on traditional costumes and learned the unique body language of opera.
Guillo, a band member from Cuba, marveled at the art form.
Gurio said that he did not expect to see traditional operas and experience new forms of performance in Heze.
Heze is both the "hometown of opera" and "hometown of martial arts". I will use music to record the stories in China, bring them back to my hometown, and bring them to the rest of the world, so that more people can understand Heze and China.
