Basic introduction

Brother long, his friends call him "brother long", an AMI people in Taitung. This unfamiliar name in the mainstream music circle is another legend of Taitung's backhill introduced by Jiaotou music after Chen Jiannian and Ji Xiaojun. When he is interested, he plays guitar in his friend's yard and roadside stall, improvises songs and hummes. His witty lyrics often make others laugh. When he doesn't sing, he is a betel nut shadowless player and a lottery fan. He was born into a political family. When he was young, he wandered around selling toilet paper, working as a substitute, engaged in construction, and sang folk songs in Western restaurants. Having experienced the ups and downs of life, he has his own free and easy philosophy - life is too hard, so try to be happy.

Longge has never received any music training. He has a unique guitar stringing method. There is rhythm in the blues melody. There are bursts of percussion strength in the soft melody. Even if he plays and sings alone, he has strong grass-roots smell and rich emotion. Chen Jiannian, the king of the golden melody, has been a guitar teacher for a long time. He composed the rainbow. Included in Ji Xiaojun's second album, wild fire and spring breeze, the sentimental rainbow impressed many people at that time, and was also included in the top ten excellent singles of the Chinese musicians Exchange Association in 2001. Huang Xiaohu was also deeply moved after listening to it, and sang the song in her album "the voice full record of live singing".

Along with Chen Jiannian and banai, bat cave, a famous folk song restaurant, used to be a place where good singers from Taitung gathered to sing. In those days, in addition to the regular resident singers, Jiannian, who used to hum and sing two hours before going to work late at night, banai, who released the clay doll album, Yonglong, Jiajia, haoen and Yuqin, who are members of the AM band, are all the "irregular singers" in the shop. Even "A-Mei" Zhang Huimei, once came to the shop late one night in order to hear Jiannian He was very excited when he came to the stage in 1949. Huiqin, who is also one of the resident singers and owners of bat cave, said, "at that time, singers were forbidden to drink on stage. Only brother long could put a cup under his seat. As soon as Longge drinks, the feeling of playing the piano and the pleasure of singing all come. Longge says, "at that time, he insisted on drinking Daoxiang, then playing, composing and singing. It's not called writing songs. It's not the same every time. Only in this way can people "find no evidence.". 」

Impromptu random Blues folk songs, singing, just mood

Brother long thinks that singing is for the sake of mood. "Sometimes I'm in a good mood, sometimes I'm in a bad mood, sometimes I'm on and sometimes I'm off. With the help of music, I can find my true mood today and how to sing it. Singing is just a mood. 」

Longge is a musical legend, a betel nut expert, a lottery fan, a roadside political critic and a philosopher of life. As for today's chaotic world, he pointed out: "it's right to think of ways to do everything! No matter what the situation is, there is only one way: find a way! The real way is, how can it be good? How are you? I can do whatever I want! 」

Longge is talking about his real experience. No matter his life or his music, he tries to make himself happy and others happy!
