About the Program
With the yueqin and the guitar, we turn all that has nurtured our growth into songs that tell the story of this land, of Taiwan.
Starting with Taiwanese folk music, we pass through the tragedies of history and the scars of each era. We sing the ever-present scenery of this land, and call out our hopes for the future. Each song takes us on a philosophical journey through Taiwan's current social landscape.
The Taiwanese language is at the forefront of this show, encompassing traditional and evolving elements of traditional Chinese opera, folk music, and rock, presenting the diversity of Taiwan's culture.
TUDI-VOICE— Sounds coming from the very roots of rural Taiwan
Since the founding of the band in 2006, TUDI-VOICE has been using music to voice concerns for the agricultural and lower social class of Taiwan. By adopting Taiwanese folk and the spirit of rock as the foundation of its composition, the band has created a Taiwanese country folk rock that is truly one of a kind.
Strong in its faith and love for the land of Taiwan, TUDI-VOICE pours its energy into creating music that shares insight on topics relating to civilization and development.
From countrysides to cities, from indigenous tribes to fishing villages, the voice of TUDI-VOICE continues to walk the roads of Taiwan, in search for its roots.
