CCTV's "Avenue of Stars" was the first in the week and month, and won the championship in 2005. [Edit this paragraph] Resume The original ecological singer Abao, surnamed Zhang, comes from rural Shanxi.

At the Spring Festival party in 2006, Dai Yuqiang and a little-known singer, Po, sang The Sun Rises on the Grassland. Unexpectedly, the most brilliant is not the so-called "fourth tenor in the world" or "tough" Wu Yanze, but the folk singer with the stage name Po. Po's high-pitched voice, which broke through the sky, incorporated cadence and twists and turns into his penetrating singing.

What impressed people was a singer named Po. In fact, Po is not a newcomer to music. He has been singing for 20 years.

Po grew up in the countryside. In the words of many musicians, he was exposed to folk music since he was a child. Therefore, he is particularly interested in the folk songs of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia. Coupled with his good sense of music and free voice, he went to Datong, Shanxi Province to sing at 1986, and he specialized in singing northwest folk songs. As a singer for a long time, Po is also very popular, so I always want to test my level through competitions. However, every time he went on stage, he was always considered by the judges as "not authentic in singing" and "unscientific in voice", so he was eliminated early. However, Po is not discouraged. I usually go to the northwest to collect folk songs, consult old artists, and then ponder according to my own voice characteristics. Every time he learns a song, he likes to study the versions sung by many people and then process them. "In many original folk songs, I will add some popular elements to sing, because it will be close to the public and easy to be accepted by everyone."

With indomitable spirit, Po wants to prove his value through large-scale competitions. In June 5438 +2004 10, CCTV won the weekly champion and the monthly champion with its distinctive and unique singing voice, and also won the bronze prize in the western folk song competition. Although these awards are not enough to attract people's attention to him, Po is very satisfied and still returns to the Loess Plateau, still quietly engaged in the collection and singing of original ecological folk songs.

Po, who has never studied vocal music, made a blockbuster in this year's Spring Festival Evening. Although it is a little late for him, he still has many opportunities to broaden his development space in his prime. His first record was released last year. He also collected a large number of first-hand folk songs from the people, hoping to let more people know through his own processing. He also has a wish: "If I have money, I will go to the poor areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia where I collect folk songs to help local children who are out of school." I was moved because I was there. "

"Let's be a folk artist in An 'an."

Frank Po refused to pack.

During the rehearsal of CCTV Spring Festival Evening, Po was sought after by many people as a civilian star. The champion singer who stood out from the famous CCTV column "Avenue of Stars" sang a song "The Sun Rises on the Grassland" with two famous tenors, Wu Yanze and Dai Yuqiang, at this year's Spring Festival party. Three top China singers with bel canto, nationality and popularity sang this traditional folk song.

Po walked off the stage with a confident face and could see that he was quite satisfied with his performance. He told reporters that if Dai Yuqiang grew up listening to Wu Yanze's songs, he was a "loyal fan" of his two predecessors. "It was these artists who led me to the road of singing today."

Legend of sound

Po, a real folk artist who has experienced hardships, is creating a legend of sound. He has a metallic tone, lightning penetration and extremely rare high notes, and he has no chance to get in touch with music education. Experts believe that the vocal method is unscientific, and he is often eliminated in the first round of competition and rejected by all professional art groups. But Po stubbornly grew up in the vast soil of the people, and his heartfelt simple and natural cry touched countless hearts. Won the first weekly champion, monthly champion and annual champion in CCTV's famous column "Avenue of Stars". Is the first local folk singer to officially release an album nationwide. [Edit this paragraph] My story-tell you a real Po.

(Po wrote it himself)

Hello, I'm Po. Let me tell you the real me. My last name is Zhang, and Po was my nickname in high school. Because there was a special person named Po in a TV series who looked like me, the students stopped. I like singing since I was a child. My father is an anti-Japanese old eight road. Influenced by his father, he likes Guo's folk songs and understands them quickly. At the age of four, she sang solo with the literary propaganda team. When I was six years old, I would sing all the "Brother and Sister Land Reclamation". When I was a child, the village next to my home was called Zhoujiadian. There was an old artist named Xing Ru who drank every day, got drunk every time and sang every time he got drunk. When other children are scared away by his drunkenness, I like to listen to him quietly. This is my first experience of local music. And my home is next to the wilderness and farmland, which has become a big stage where I often enjoy singing. /kloc-when I was 0/2 years old, I was admitted to Datong Art School with excellent results, but the back door was very common there. When I was ready to go to school in high spirits, I found that I was replaced by a city dweller. A small number of middle school places makes people so despicable. For a child who regards singing as his life, how deeply it hurts. This is still a wound in my heart that will never heal. For me, flower of life has become withdrawn and introverted without giving thanks. I spent my whole childhood in gray and melancholy, and later I was rejected in the professional group of Datong. From the age of 12, my greatest wish is to stay away from Datong. 1986, I found a chance to sing in the only music teahouse in Datong, because my popularity far exceeded that of the professional actors of the city song and dance troupe on the same stage. After singing for a few days, she was excluded, and then she began to wander with various performing troupes for nearly 20 years. 1994, a professor of music department of English University was very excited after listening to my singing. After returning to China, he sent me an admission notice. I hurried back to Datong to get my passport. After running for a week, even people from relevant departments can't see it. I finally met another person. I asked for 5 thousand yuan as soon as I opened my mouth. In a rage, I transferred my account to a county town in the south, where I didn't have to pay a penny more than normal expenses. Although the passport was issued, the school started.

I have participated in countless singing competitions, almost all of which were eliminated in the first round. Experts say that my singing is unscientific and my voice is in the wrong position. So far, no formal group has accepted me. The reason is simple, because I am an amateur. I sing folk songs from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia. The language and culture of northern Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia are very close to folk songs. For example, Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi is called Qu Shan in Shanxi and climbing in Inner Mongolia. Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia folk songs are one of the most beautiful folk songs in the world. The way I learn folk songs is to visit old folk artists in three places. Now I have recorded a lot of precious sound materials, because the younger generation has long since stopped listening to these earthy things. Now that these old artists are often dead, I will sing these collected folk songs in a slightly modern music arrangement. In addition, in the process of collecting folk songs outside, the street performers are the ones who feel the deepest. Nowadays, big stars can get1200,000 by singing a few songs, while those street performers can only sing for a few dollars a day.

My singing style is different from all folk singers, and I have my own system and style. Because singing has never been taught, growing up eating a hundred meals like a wild child means treating all folk singers as teachers. Everyone is different and has something to learn. When I was singing "Flowers Bloom in Shandan", I listened to all the materials that everyone sang, stole the good ones, and sang them with my own treatment. I even added some popular elements, because the popular ones are closest to life and most easily accepted by the people. I was born in the plateau, and singing folk songs was greatly influenced by Beilu Bangzi and Errentai, so my "Shandan Flowers Bloom Red" has the high note of Beilu Bangzi, and the word "gold" in the middle was originally flat, so I tilted the word "gold" with the aria of Errentai, which was much better. I think it is more important to sing your own style than to sing like a celebrity.

I've been singing for almost 20 years, but I'm still unknown. I'm ashamed of myself and my parents! But after all, only a few people are famous, and there are many complicated factors. I am lucky enough to fill my stomach by singing. I often go to remote rural areas to collect folk songs. I know that in rural areas, there are more people who have been singing all their lives and are still unknown and even poor. I will give them the most infinite respect and respect for their spirit. That's the soul of folk songs! For thousands of years, it is precisely because of the silent inheritance of countless such losers that it is possible for you to hear Po's songs here today. After so many years of ups and downs, we have become accustomed to the coldness of the world, the contempt of the city for the countryside, and the contempt of the profession for amateurs. There can't be only one flower in the garden, and every flower is not necessarily red. It is precisely because of its colorful colors that we feel that the world is beautiful. Flowers will bloom whether someone waters them or not. Since I can't grow in the field and enter the garden, let me be a lonely lily in the valley. Wild lilies have the same spring. It may be a coincidence that the wild lily is Shandandan. Folk songs need diversity as much as society. Everyone has his own sky and stage. God gave us eyes to observe the colorful world and ears to listen to the different voices of nature. If there is only one color and one voice in the world, we would rather be blind and deaf!

My greatest wish is to make local folk songs occupy a place in China music scene through the efforts of our generation. I also have a wish: in the future, if I have money, I will go to the poor areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia where I collect folk songs to help local dropouts.
