Yellow Music
Yellow Music is a genre of popular music. The term has been used in China and Vietnam to describe types of music that have separate origins. China Yellow Music () or Yellow Songs () was a label used to describe early generations of Chinese popular music in Shanghai, China during the 1920s to 1940s; the color yellow is associated with eroticism and sex in the country, since 黄, huáng, the Mandarin character for "yellow", also means "erotic". The Communist Party of China saw pop music as sexually indecent and labeled the C-pop genre as such.Jones. Andrew F. 001(2001). Yellow Music – CL: Media Culture and Colonial Modernity in the Chinese Jazz Age. Duke University Press. These restrictions prompted many Shanghai artists to flee to Hong Kong, where it reached its height in the 1950s until the late 1960s, when it was displaced by Mandarin-languaged Taiwanese pop (and later by Cantopop). The term was used continually up to the Cultural Revolution. By the early 1980s, however, Yel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Life Phạm Duy was born Phạm Duy Cẩn, on 5 October 1921, in Hanoi. His father Phạm Duy Tốn was a progressive journalist and writer, and one of the earlie ...
