Q: Who is your favorite artist in China? (music)

How has living in living in China changed your musical tastes?

 

I don't mean Chinese artists...I mean anyone.

Steel Panther (always had a soft spot for some 80's hair metal....this band's metal is legit, their lyrics are over the top comical though).  I get some weird looks when I queue up their "Asian Hooker" while rollin' in my BYD.

I heard Chinese music every where and if I heard a song I liked, when I asked the song name or who did it, of course I never got an answer. I like some songs that sounded more traditional. I tried downloading music, but my translator didn't usually work, no luck getting anyone to help me. I did find some, I like the 12 Girls Band

I'm glad it's not just me. Ask about a song and you get zip, nada, nunca, ling useful information.

I didn't listen to much of my own music. I wanted something different to associate with China. After sitting in a bar one night and heard The Pet Shop Boys, I D/L all their music and that was my China music.

It's hard to choose a favorite but I'll go with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. My musical tastes have not changed one bit here in China. Why would they? I do appreciate the guzheng and arhu based Chinese songs, but my taste is the same. 

Oh yea, and Motley Crue. hahahahaha

I've always liked what they call "world beat" music, which is basically a country's traditional music. I like Celtic and Eastern European, Russian, Asian, Hebrew and African, etc. But, I also listen to classical, country, rock, pop, and gospel! angry

 

However, since being in China, I really like the music of SaDingDing.

Her mix of classic and contemporary elements appeals to my eclectic taste, and I've been able to find all of her music on QQ.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
