relaxing sunday - the power of the Tibetan music: Sa Ding Ding
Apart from my beloved hip hop music, here in relaxing Sunday I have introduced quite a number of different songs and music: pop R & B singer in Taiwan, bossa nova band from France, fado from Portugual, the chanteuse from France, famous love song from Spain, etc.
And now, here comes the power of music from the Tibetan: Sa Ding Ding (薩頂頂).
Sa Ding Ding is a singer, musician, composer, performer and choreographer from China. This song is named “Alive” (萬物生) in Chinese and this version is in “sanskrit (梵文)”.
Sa Ding Ding’s new album, “Alive”, has attracted international attention. Her sound is unique and her music is distinctive: representing an original creative passion affected by ethnic diversity and shaped by a modern China.
The song “Alive” is a show piece from Tibetan style, with the first part of the song (male singing) in Pure Tibetan music. The lyrics is in sanskrit and the music video shows very pretty scenes in Tibet.
After appreciating this song and the music video, do let me know how you feel about this new style from the East.

relaxing sunday - Kogepan (the burnt bread)
This Sunday, I would like to introduce to you one of my favourite Japan comic characters, the Kogepan (meaning “the burnt breand”).
In contrary to the “pretty bread”, the Kogepan is burnt and could not be sold. It is an outcast from the bakery shop and it is not welcome by the customers.
The Kogepan, due to it’s outcast position, it is a bit sad, lazy, not active, don’t care, self-pity….. Yet, it is able to make fun of its own situation and it always make fun on the “pretty bread”.
When everybody is focusing on successful and self-improvement, let’s see how this “natural born failure” faces its life. Very funny and interesting piece of work indeed, which makes us think a lot.
