Ye Bei is the first female singer among the leading figures of mainland folk music and also the only female voice most representative of the campus folk music era. Born into a musical family, she began learning piano at the age of seven. Ye Bei has shown extremely high musical talent since childhood. Graduated from the China Conservatory of Music with a master’s degree. From a resident singer to a folk diva, Ye Bei has become a unique female voice in that era of fluttering white clothes, lighting up a beam of light for the Chinese music scene at that time. Ye Bei and Lao Lang are a divine combination in the folk music circle in the hearts of many people and also the ceiling of campus folk music! Speaking of campus folk music, the two of them are definitely iconic figures that cannot be bypassed. Back then, it was precisely they and a group of excellent folk singers such as Pu Shu who created a splendid era belonging to campus folk music in the history of mainland pop music. Those classic melodies such as ‘No Regrets for Youth’, ‘You on the Same Desk’, ‘Doomed’, ‘Pisces’, ‘Want to Sing You My Song’, ‘Winter in Beijing’ are an enlightenment poem for countless people on folk music. You can clearly capture a hint of sadness that has not yet faded in Ye Bei’s songs, that kind of sadness belonging to folk music. Of course, in recent years, she has gradually expanded her vision from campus to a broader space and added many fresh and lively elements, making those delicate and clean melodies no longer seem delicate and fragile. Instead, they have some meaning of flexibility, firmness and tenacity, and can withstand the repeated nitpicking of the most boring ears. Her songs belong to the kind of works that are obtained by chance and unforgettable once heard, perfectly shaping the character of a record. These decades have not dulled Ye Bei’s’sharp and vivid’ sense of music, good natural talent and understanding. This time, it will live up to expectations. At the 10th Beijing International Pop Music Week, Ye Bei’s ‘Listening and Writing Alone’ concert in Beijing. In addition to Ye Bei’s passionate singing, there will also be the strong support of heavyweight guests Lao Lang and Chen Li. They will bring their classic works and cooperate with Ye Bei for a new interpretation. I believe it will also bring double reveries about emotions and music to the audience.
The full text will be open on Friday, November 22. The performance starts at 19:30. The specific performance duration is subject to the site.
