A heartfelt celebration of the songs that shaped our parents’ and grandparents’ lives. From beloved pop hits of the ’70s and ’80s to treasured folk tunes passed down through time, this concert brings soulful performances and fresh interpretations that breathe new life into these enduring classics.
As they reconnect with their mother tongue, JMF artist Van Lefan and Jacq Teh rekindle the music their families cherished, rediscovering the Mandarin classics that quietly shaped their artistic paths.
Van Lefan, a Taiwanese-Canadian folk artist from Vancouver, and Jacq Teh, a Toronto-based jazz singer-songwriter of Vietnamese and Myanmar Chinese heritage, pay tribute to legendary artists such as Teresa Teng, Chyi Yu, and Tsai Chin, whose voices defined an era, creating a musical bridge that brings generations together. In this lovely tribute to their musical role models and mother tongues, they’re inviting some special guests: Lefan’s mom, and Jacq Teh’s dad!
當加拿大的年輕音樂人重拾母語,開始嘗試以華語創作,首先喚起的是那些父母曾哼唱、播放過的經典老歌。這些華語經典成為跨世代的共同語言,刻印父母與祖父母的生命歷程,也默默影響了新一代創作者的音樂道路。
走進華語經典歌曲的黃金年代,向鄧麗君、齊豫、蔡琴等傳奇音樂人致敬。從七〇、八〇年代廣受喜愛的流行金曲,到口耳相傳的民謠旋律,溫哥華的台裔民謠音樂人樂凡,以及多倫多出生長大、擁有越南與緬甸華人血統的爵士創作歌手鄭寶欣聯手演出、重新詮釋,拉起離散社區看似斷裂的文化隔閡。
樂凡的母親與鄭寶欣的父親也將驚喜同台!趕快邀請你的父母、祖父母和親朋好友們,共度跨世代的音樂之夜。
