Dulong is one of the ethnic minorities with a small population in China, which is distributed in the valley of Dulong River Basin in Gongshan Dulong Nu Autonomous County, southwest China, with a population of about 7,400 as of 2065,438+02. And Apsasa is a real minority man here.
Walking on the road of 20 12 China Red Song Festival, Apsasa doesn't need any reason, but dreams for a beautiful music stage. In Apsasa's view, music is a ray of sunshine shining into the heart, and red songs are also the most beautiful flowers in the world, and they will never look back on the road of music.
After the game, Upsasa told the China News Service reporter, "Although I won this honor, I am especially grateful to those who have helped me, so that my efforts over the years have not been in vain." As the only professional musician of Dulong, he has the responsibility and obligation to carry forward the music culture of this nation, and he will go along this road.

Open the door.
On July 6th, 20 15, in the third CCTV program "Open the Door", Apsasa from Evergrande Music took the stage and sang "Eighteen Bends of Mountain Road" for the second contestant, Mongolian Meng He He Xige from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
A leap on the road of music.
In 2007, Apsasa was selected by Yunnan Province to study in Shanghai Conservatory of Music for one year. The teacher from Yunnan was moved by Upp Welissa Gonzaga's simplicity and personally took him to the door of the famous singer Chang's house to worship. In order to protect and inherit the national music of Lisu and Dulong, Upu Welissa Gonzaga studied in Shanghai for another year.
The hard-won two-year study has made Apsasa's road to music a qualitative leap. While inheriting his own folk songs, he began to try to integrate folk singing with modern scientific singing. While letting countless audiences appreciate the charm of traditional music of ethnic minorities, his harvest also followed: 20 10 1 1 won the gold medal in the first local song contest in Yunnan.
After winning the Red Song Club championship, Upp Welissa Gonzaga said frankly, "It is with the help and support of so many people that I can get to where I am today. I thank you all! " Knowing how to be grateful and calm, I believe this is an important reason why Apsasa won the top spot of 20 12 red songs.
Inherit national music
It is understood that Upsasa means "the boss" in English, and Welissa Gonzaga means "the best" in Dulong. Apsasa needs not only courage, but also the inheritance and responsibility of these two ethnic music cultures. This big boy is shy when he meets strangers, and his voice is completely different when he shows it. He conquered the audience many times with his rich voice and emotion, free and easy singing and mellow and clear timbre. Previously, Upp Welissa Gonzaga won the bronze medal in the 4th Yunnan Young Singers Competition with a song "Celebrating Harvest by Sacrificing Mountains".
Compared with the life track of most people, Apsasa's road to red songs is not accidental. With his sensitivity and fanatical love for music, he was determined to engage in music since he was a child. As the only professional musician of Dulong, Apsasa shoulders the responsibility and obligation to carry forward the national music culture on the stage of the Red Song Festival. On the red stage, Apsasa, as the name suggests, presents himself to the world with the "best" posture of a lone dragon, interpreting his own legend.
Apsasa told reporters, "Li Su's father is also an excellent singer. Although I have not received professional training, I am proficient in playing, playing and singing. Especially some Lisu musical instruments, as long as you fiddle with your father's hand, all kinds of emotional voices will flow out. " Apsa worshipped his father since he was a child. In daily life, they often speak with songs instead of answers, thus forming a tradition of liking folk songs. Under the influence of this harmonious Lisu family, Apsasa can also sing casually.
culture
In the music world, it is not easy for Apsasa to walk. In the 4th Young Singer Competition in Yunnan Province, he had to turn to his family for several thousand yuan to accompany his newly created music. Young people in the city have long since stopped being obsessed with guitar or piano, because it is really a hopeless career, and it is harder to become a master than to win the lottery. Apsasa seems to give people a glimmer of hope. He stuck to his musical dream with his meager income and spent a lot of time writing new songs. The lyrics of the newly created song "Sacrificing the Mountain to Celebrate the Harvest" on the cabinet are all Ma Shanyu, the pig, cattle and sheep closest to nature. ...
He still remembers the first time 1999 accompanied his mother back to Dulongjiang. At that time, there was no road. He followed his mother with dozens of pounds of gifts and set off happily for his grandmother's house. It was a small closed village adjacent to Myanmar, and the married mother was regarded as the imperial concubine who returned home.
After a full meal, the whole village began to listen to songs and dance, and the drunken grandmother took Apsasa's hand and sang all night. Because of his shy mother, Apsasa heard such wonderful Dulong music for the first time. He described her singing with "the voice of nature". This scene has now become Upp Welissa Gonzaga's most regrettable thing, because he had not studied music systematically at that time, and he didn't know how to record his grandmother's inspiration.
Apsasa believes that the closed and conservative Dulong people are really the darlings of nature. They have their own primitive language, music, dance and even religion.
Nowadays, the popular falsetto and incongruous superficial music are no longer the true colors of music. Dulong people are closer to the gods because of their long-term closure, and they can better understand the melody and harmony of nature. For them, music is one of the most effective ways to communicate with heaven.
However, for thousands of Dulong people with a population of over one billion in China, their culture will be destroyed by today's times sooner or later. How to protect and inherit the unique national music culture of Dulong is in front of Apsasa, the only professional musician of Dulong. The title of 25-year-old Dulong and Secretary-General of Nujiang Music Association seems a bit incongruous, but this reputation is actually more of a responsibility, and this responsibility will uphold the power of his life and let him sing forward.
Feel honored for the Spring Festival Gala.
After stepping on the road of "Through Spring Festival Gala", in 20 13, Upp Welissa Gonzaga stepped onto the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang the 23rd program "Through Spring Festival Gala" with Ping An and Xu Yina. Upsasa first appeared, singing a song "Eighteen Bends of Mountain Road", which was powerful and stirring, and sang the patriotic song "I Love You China" with Xu Yina for the third time.
The National Library holds lectures.
2065438+July, 2005 12, Apsasa gave a public lecture on the theme of "Exploration and Development of Lisu Music" in Wenjinya Collection of National Library.
At the event site, Apsasa showed the natural features and unique ethnic culture of her hometown, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, in many ways in the form of video and text. Apsasa said that his father is Lisu and his mother is Dulong, so he grew up in the unique music ocean of ethnic minorities. Later, when he was engaged in the music industry, he would also collect songs and arrange music all over Yunnan all the year round, because he realized that the music left by his ancestors through life is the most precious spiritual wealth, and it is also the thing that young people lack most now. He wants to bring these unique things to everyone through his continuous study, collection, arrangement, creation and singing.
Later, Apsasa introduced the origin of Dulong music, explained the singing and appreciation methods of folk songs to the audience from the perspective of minority singers, and demonstrated the Lisu people's four-string and flute performances on the spot. The audience applauded Apsasa's performance again and again, shouting "I can't get enough of it, one more!" "
On the same day, guests from all walks of life, such as music, culture and ethnic groups, visited the site for exchanges and discussions. Including Ou Guangming, director of the Chinese editorial office of the National Ethnic Publishing House, Liu Xiujun, executive deputy director of the Lisu Professional Committee in China, former director of the Military Supplies Department of the Air Force Logistics Department, famous composer Lu Cheng, the main force of the Chinese music charts, Zhou Lizhen, a famous singer of the Avenue of Stars and CCTV Spring Festival Evening, the original ecological music group Muge School in Yunnan, and Tao Jian Acheng, a young tenor of the Central National Song and Dance Troupe. Everyone fully affirmed Apsasa's efforts to promote national music from beginning to end and expressed strong support. At the end of the lecture, Zhou Lizhen and Mugepa, both national singers, took to the stage, singing and dancing with Upu Welissa Gonzaga, and singing ethnic minority songs. The scene presented a harmonious scene of "one nation and one family".
