Since the mid-1990s, Taiwan’s unique brand of Mandopop (華語流行音樂; Huá Yǔ Liú Xíng Yīn Yuè) has dictated the musical tastes of the mainland and the rest of Chinese-speaking Asia. This title explores Mandopop’s surprisingly complex cultural implications in Taiwan and the PRC, where it has established new gender roles and created a vocabulary to express individualism.
Mandopop singers:
Jolin Tsai 蔡依林:愈慢愈美麗 see her Live
Theresa Teng 鄧麗君: 月亮代表我的心
Wang Leehom王力宏: 你不知道的事see him Live
Jay Chou 周杰倫: 爺爺泡的茶
Richie Ren 任賢齊: 對面的女孩看過來
A Mei 張惠妹: 如果你也{聽說}
Zhang Liangying 张靓颖: 我们说好的
Stefanie Sun 孫燕姿: 遇見
David Tao 陶喆: 飛機場的10:30 see him Live
Power Station 動力火車: 那就這樣吧
