The Soul of Jazz: Freedom, Reliance is closely related to the stories that happened in the long history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. The familiar relationship between folk music and jazz is always inadvertently revealed. Adding traditional musical instruments and timbres to the duet not only enriches modern music, but also stimulates the listener’s sensory nerves. Create a different sound map together. ChuChuVibes x new national style is a bold initiative, hoping to inherit and carry forward the Chinese national art, and at the same time integrate and combine more attempts with the new music elements of the 21st century

About “ChuChuVibes x New Country Style”
The music is like the breeze in the evening, bringing a sense of comfort and a little bit of agility, accompanied by the warm riverside breeze; the air reverberates with the softness left by the music. With the hammers moving fast, we can hear Rong Chenchu duet ChuChuVibes. This is the most commonly used band form in Rongchenchu, a tribute to vibraphone player Gary Burton and pianist Chick Corea. Use the simplest stage decoration to reflect the most different musical tension and content. The multiple creativity and 10,000 possibilities between the duo are very similar to ChuChuVibes’ voice, the notes are intertwined, and it is more of a connection between the music and a story. This performance tried the ”New Country Style” series, which skillfully integrated elements of national music with jazz, modern music and percussion. Bold attempts and a series of works. Rong Chenchu has a solid foundation in national music, and also has a sense of reverence and awe for traditional music. While learning Western music, being able to create Chinese elements in it is also the original intention of Rong Chenchu’s works.

Vibraphone, marimba, combined percussion, etc. will appear on the stage as the main instruments of the band. Apart from traditional jazz and percussion, the orchestra uses jazz techniques to integrate jazz vocabulary into percussion. In addition, it has its unique timbre and touch. With the speed of the vibraphone motor, it brings out a little soft melody, which is a little more quiet and natural than traditional jazz wind music. The texture of harmony and melody formed by the performance of different percussion instruments can also be integrated into more musical arts and performing arts, and at the same time, it can be used as a way to show performance skills, and there will be many different performance methods. shuttle

This change will bring more relaxed and pleasant music, but also to continue the development of “music without borders”, each time integrating a musical instrument other than traditional jazz, it is also a touch, increase A new timbre, the main line of music when there is an alternative collision between timbre and music, but still retains the harmony and rhythm of traditional jazz and contemporary jazz in terms of audibility.
