Description
Between December 2021 and March 2022, acclaimed dishui nanyin master Tong Siu-yin – one of the few dishui artists performing in Hong Kong today – presents a series of three concerts of popular nanyin ballads in the traditional setting of the Xiqu Centre Tea House Theatre. Each peformance presents a different repertoire of traditional and popular songs.
Dishui nanyin is a style of Cantonese narrative ballad singing that was popular in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta at the beginning of the 20th century. Recognised as an intangible part of Hong Kong’s cultural heritage, it was often performed in restaurants and teahouses by blind musicians who sang and performed original tales with percussion and zither accompaniment. Although nanyin-style melodies have been incorporated into Cantonese opera productions, few musicians are trained in this heritage art form today. Join us for a rare heritage experience.
