The form of traditional Chinese percussion music has many similarities with African
percussion music forms. These similarities explain why traditional Chinese percussion music still
continues to use ancient tribal cultural forms. The more people are involved in a percussion
performance, the more sound energy can be produced. This special music language can make the
connection between the universe and living beings more direct and palpable. These traditional
rhythms have been loved by the public historically, but how to make today’s young pop music lovers
pay attention to the tradition? I hope that through my new percussion composition concert, and our
ensemble 's unique performance style, these traditional Chinese rhythms can attract the ears of
today’s young people in a new fashion.
