Chinese Music (with Video links)

I have talked about how I discovered Chinese Music.  It was due to our second adoption.  Our daughter was 7 and I wanted to get music she could listen to.  When I started listening to it, I discovered that I liked it.  Even without knowing all the lyrics.  On the third adoption, I found Jay Chou.  I really liked his music.  Try some of these out.  I like the melody and the words.  Angie even sings to them, not just the English words.

Janice Vidal is an artist that the person at the music store suggested.  My kids liked some of her songs.  Cookie Can was a favorite.

Another artist I found on Youtube is Janice Tsai.  Shuo Ai Ne has a really catchy beat.

In Florida, we were lucky to get a program through our library that allowed us to get downloads through Sony.  Here I found other artists.

Fiona Fung is like a Chinese Sarah Mclachlan and I really like her voice.  She sings in English in some of her songs.  A Little Love is a good one.

Goodbye Master.  This song comes from Infernal Affairs, remade into The Departed in America.

On the third adoption, I bought some music videos by Jay Chou.  This was before I heard his music.  When I was going home, I listened to the airline music.  They had a song by him.  This song has a country fell to it.

The song I listened to was Cowboy on the Run.

Check back and I will add more music.  Also, there is a toolbar at the top of the page from Amazon.  If you like some of the things I mention and want to buy it, you can check the bar.  It is programmed  to pick out things that I mention, like Jay Chou.  I checked the bar and his album Opus is listed.  It is a good album.  Plus, we receive a percentage if people go through that link.  All proceeds will help with our adoption.
