  • Cantopop Songs of All Time!
    THE GREATEST CANTOPOP SONGS OF ALL TIME! Forty years ago, Hong Kong saw the birth of Cantopop, a style of music which would become one of the city’s most iconic cultural offerings. To mark its 40th anniversary, Arthur Tam looks back over the history of the equally loved and derided genre – and explores its evolution and importance through its most beloved songs, one year at a time… 30 timeout.com.hk The early years The Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>> Sandra Lang (仙杜拉) In 1974, during the boom of HK media, 1975 a theme song to a popular drama, << The Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>>, would change everything. It became a massive hit, arguably becoming the 獅 first ever Cantopop song, and starting 子 the procession of not only theme tunes 山 1974 to every TV drama, but a new music 下 genre itself. It retains a resemblance >> to traditional Chinese harmonies and melodies, but enters a new world of pop. bit.ly/fatalirony1974 The first Cantopop songstress Sandra Lang The Chinese-American singer of arguably the first ever Cantopop hit, Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>>, reflects on that song, four decades on… “It was great to have had Cantopop then or else the Cantonese language would have died. I was very Sam Hui (許冠傑) lucky to have Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>>. It was a The Genius and the Idiot Featuring in the titular movie, which was gift from God. No one had ever done a song like this popularised due to its slapstick humour, before and it became popular because people are good listeners. I never claimed that Fatal Irony was the first Cantopop song, but that’s this song features a strong British rock just what people keep telling me.

Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies. Globalisation has multiplied and accelerated inter-cultural, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious encounters, intentionally or not. In a world where time and place are increasingly compressed and interaction between East and West grows in density, numbers, and spread, East-West studies has gained a renewed mandate. LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature.

  • Tatming, Umbrellas, and the Postcolonial Ruins of Hong Kong
    Situations 10.1 (2017): 119–145 ISSN: 2288–7822 From Handover to Leftover: Tatming, Umbrellas, and the Postcolonial Ruins of Hong Kong Leonie Schmidt (University of Amsterdam) Chow Yiu Fai (Hong Kong Baptist University) Jeroen de Kloet (University of Amsterdam) Abstract In September 2014, thousands of people started occupying different areas of Hong Kong, demanding “true democracy,” ushering in what was known as the “Umbrella Movement.” Two years earlier, Tatming Pair, an influential electronic formation, in a series of concerts, vented their worries, frustrations, and anger over the future of the city, giving voice to a deafening sense of disquiet. This article reads this performance as foreboding these upcoming political protests, attesting to the close alliance between the cultural and the political. It shows how popular music, in word, sound and image, both reflects, as well as impacts on, the city of Hong Kong. Keywords: Hong Kong, popular music, postcolonial, politics, Umbrella movement, handover, Tatming 120 Leonie Schmidt, Chow Yiu Fai, and Jeroen de Kloet Introduction “We must vacate the here and now for a then and there. Individual transports are insufficient. We need to engage in a collective temporal distortion.” - José Esteban Muñoz1 In September 2014, thousands of people started occupying different areas of Hong Kong, demanding “true democracy,” ushering in what was known as the “Umbrella Movement.”2 The popular protest might have taken the world by surprise; for us, it presents a logical outcome of a much longer process of postcolonial anxiety. Prior to the Umbrella Movement, Hong Kong’s anxiety was marked by another tumultuous occasion: the rainy Tuesday of 1 July 1997, when Hong Kong was handed over from London to Beijing.
