We Love Hakka (Culture: 八音 Bay-in Music)

「八音」表示八種樂器材料，是客家族群的音樂。明末清初帶來臺灣，在日治時代客家八音樂師們去日本錄臺灣第一張唱片，可見得八音是臺灣代表性的音樂，文化部已經將客家八音列入國家重要的傳統表演藝術。 "Bay-in Music" is a type of celebratory music among the Hakka community, but it actually refers to the eight materials used to make musical instruments. During the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Hakka immigrants brought Bay-in Music to Taiwan. Later, during the Japanese colonial period, a group of Hakka Bay-in musicians recorded Taiwan's first album in Japan, demonstrating that Bay-in Music was a representative music of Taiwan at that time. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
