Madonna in Jihu and China.

She is a famous Chinese female singer in British music, with hundreds of millions of loyal fans all over the world. She not only has a sexy figure and excellent dancing skills, but also sings like pearls and jade, as clear as morning dew; Her flamboyant singing style has been praised as "Madonna of China" by many foreign media such as Britain, America and France.

Ayi Jihu, a 24-year-old Yi girl from Liangshan, Sichuan, China, conquered the British music scene with her unique charm, and let people of different nationalities in the world enjoy a brand-new hip-hop listening experience. Recently, she will hold a tour in Europe and the United States, and creatively integrate the elements of Wu Tang (Wudang, China) into many Hip Hop songs she sang, so that Hip Hop in Western Europe not only has piano sound, but also has a lot of China kungfu sound. "I just want to make hip-hop popular all over the world in China!" Aunt Ji Hu said with a smile. Liangshan Prefecture is the birthplace of Ji Hu, the traditional Yi tunes and Yi folk songs in China. Yi people's music style is simple, with distinctive and rich national characteristics. Aunt Ji Hu has been influenced by the songs of her mother and elders since she was born. Over time, she not only mastered a variety of Yi folk tunes, such as climbing mountains, entering doors, welcoming guests, eating wine, marrying relatives and crying. I also blurted out folk songs and sang them with relish.

Little Ayi Ji Hu's dance is also great, not only full of life interest and national style, but also vigorous and synchronized. 1990, Ayi Ji Hu, who just turned six years old, participated in the national "big grid" dance performance, and her beautiful dance immediately attracted American reporters who were watching. The reporter took several pictures of her dancing in succession, which was soon published in the Los Angeles Times under the name of "Dancing Angel".

Ayi Ji Hu's mother is a famous local folk yueqin performer, and she is very fond of her daughter's unique artistic talent. She hopes that her daughter will inherit and carry forward the excellent national cultural traditions in the future.

One day, Ayi Ji Hu saw a bird with bright feathers and beautiful voice on the mountain. She liked it very much. Mother told her that the Yi people called this bird "Awu". That night, Ji Hu had a colorful dream, dreaming that she was standing on a colorful stage, dressed in costumes.

As beautiful as the "Ah Wu" bird, and as loud as the "Ah Wu" bird! From then on, "Awu" became the mascot in Aunt Ji Hu's heart. Unexpectedly, it wasn't long before Ayi Ji Hu met a Yi singer named "Awu" on TV, which strengthened her desire to become an excellent Yi singer in the future.

It was a large-scale literary evening hosted by CCTV. Qu Biao 'ou, a national first-class actor and young singer, sang Yi folk songs such as "Guests from afar please stay" and "Beauty of My Hometown". These folk songs with strong local flavor fascinated Aunt Ji Hu. Ayi jumped with excitement when she learned that singer Qu was born in meigu county, Liangshan Prefecture, not far from her. "Ha ha, it turns out that Aunt Qu Wu Biao is also our Yi people!" The next day, Ayi Ji Hu excitedly wrote a letter to Qu Biaoweu, the Central National Song and Dance Troupe in Beijing, saying that she must be like Aunt Qu Biaoweu in the future, be an "Aowubird flying from Daliangshan", and sing the excellent songs of this nation well and pass them on!

Ideals are like lighthouses, illuminating the road to struggle. Ayi Jihu spread her wings, and the strong national feelings in folk songs were increasingly deposited in her young mind ... When Ayi Ji Hu 10 was old, she crossed the ocean to London, England, and lived in her aunt's house. Her artistic talent was further demonstrated here, and she became a "little singer" in her school, Ashmead Primary School. Ayi Ji Hu's songs can meet the appreciation needs of teachers and students of different races, and make the audience produce strong * * * sounds. White teachers and students find that the distinctive and free rhythm and changeable and wavy melody in the songs are so similar to English folk songs; For those black teachers and students, lively, witty and passionate melody and rap rhythm are enough to win their love. In the singing, Ayi Ji Hu appropriately interpreted the connotation of the song through body movements, which made everyone enjoy it. Since then, Ayi Ji Hu's songs and dances have been indispensable in school art fairs, community benefit performances and group activities in China.

1997 During the Spring Festival, a grand Spring Festival party was held in Chinatown, London. Ayi Ji Hu sang Yi folk songs Gayo La and Big and Small Liangshan with deep affection, and many old overseas Chinese were moved to tears when listening to songs full of local accent.

In London, Ayi Ji Hu met many black classmates and friends and was exposed to different kinds of music. Ayi Ji Hu found that every time I heard the black R &；; B Music is so emotional that I can't help but want to dance. Gradually, she fell in love with this kind of music, because in R &；; B There are various elements in music, from folk songs, country songs, jazz, pop songs and rock songs, which have too many similarities with the songs and dances of our own nation.

Many friends told Aunt Ji Hu that if she sang Hip Hop, she would be very popular because she had the strength in this field. Since 2000, Ayi Jihu, who is 16 years old, has really started to March into HIPPHOP!

In the process of singing, Ayi Jihu keenly observed that to be an excellent hip-hop singer, it is necessary to have a unique and personalized spirit. Because Hip Hop is a culture, not just something. It doesn't mean to wear a big POLO shirt, an APE hat, dunk shoes and a big chain around the neck. More importantly, it can show a very personalized spirit. "Spirit and style" is the cornerstone of success! "What kind of spirit do you want and what kind of style do you need to have a place in hip-hop music?" Ayi Ji Hu is thinking hard. At this time, Ayi Ji Hu saw a concert by Madonna, and her heart was suddenly enlightened, and she finally found the "spirit and style" she needed.

However, when she told her thoughts to some good friends, they were all surprised and shouted, "Do you want to learn from Madonna and sing hip-hop with her spirit and style?" Don't you know Madonna is a porn star, who specializes in coquetry and prostitution to gain fame and fortune? Are you also a pure China girl? ! "Aunt Ji Hu has been thinking about this problem for a long time. She retorted, "In fact, Madonna is a rebellious singer. She doesn't specialize in coquetry, but boldly proves the essence of human nature. She is a strong person and a wise man in life. She has many advantages, such as attending charity performances. I think it is understandable for her to do what she wants, because it is a challenge to the inherent traditional prejudice!

Looking at his grinning friends, Ayi Jihu continued: "Hip-hop is originally a subculture with anti-cultural tendency, and its destructive and folk nature runs counter to our traditional pop culture. Rebellion and fearless publicity are the essence of Madonna. Now I want to be an excellent hip-hop singer and need to learn Madonna's spirit and style! "

Finding a good position is half the battle. Soon, the effect of Ayi Ji Hu singing hip-hop is really refreshing and beautiful.

Singer Kim Lytton even used the word "charming" to evaluate Ayi Ji Hu's hip-hop singing skills, and many local musicians also spoke highly of it. Her performances of Bridge of Troubles [original song: Elvis Presley], What a wonderful world [original song: Fat Waller louis armstrong] and Blue Sky are unforgettable. Although the singers of these songs are well-known, and the songs have already been deeply rooted in people's hearts, Ayi Ji Hu, with her extraordinary sense of music and creativity, simply makes people think that these songs are tailored for her. Secondly, in Ayi Ji Hu's music, jazz, blues, folk songs and even the atmosphere of gospel and soul songs are mixed together. This kind of music is supplemented by Ayi Ji Hu's natural wide range and clear and silky sound quality. Finally, with her unique way of punctuating sentences, every song adds infinite imagination. More importantly, in terms of expression, Ayi Ji Hu's style is open, he does not hide himself, and he shows himself boldly in the dance. "This is a dazzling new star in hip-hop music, and soon her brilliance will be dazzling!" This is how the local media reported Aunt Ji Hu. Start showing your talents.

In 2004, Ayi Ji Hu entered the world-famous Cambridge University with outstanding talent and excellent academic performance. During this period, she worked harder to improve her hip-hop singing level and prepare for entering the mainstream music market in Britain. Ayi Ji Hu knows that it is difficult for China musicians to enter the mainstream market without face of china in British mainstream music. It can be said that there is no China music model in Britain so far. It is difficult to squeeze into this mainstream music market now.

At this time, Nanette Rigg, the organizer of the British City Music Festival, who has been paying close attention to and optimistic about Ayi Ji Hu, told Jihu Ayi frankly: If you want to get ahead in the British music industry, you must first expand your influence and make your own name. So, with Rigg's help and planning, Ayi Ji Hu held a unique hip-hop concert at the famous London City Show, which was located in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Carnaby Street, the famous business districts in central London. British people and even tourists from all over the world come to watch the show. At the concert, Ayi Jihu showed her inner observation of social phenomena with warm soul music songs.

She never forgets to introduce everyone to China to watch the Olympic Games, and specially puts China-related things such as Olympic mascots on her official homepage. On May 12, 2008, I was shocked to learn that there was a major earthquake in my hometown. Ayi Ji Hu immediately called relatives in Liangshan to find out about the disaster, and decided to use all the performance expenses of the month as the fund for the Sichuan disaster area to help the victims in my hometown rebuild their homes. At the end of May, she held a party near her home and invited her neighbors and friends to donate money to the disaster-stricken areas in China. At the party, she repaid her donation by auctioning her photos and records. Among them, an American friend bought a photo of Ayi Ji Hu for 20 pounds and said nonsense to Ayi Ji: "You did a great job. I'll give it back to you now, and you can auction it again! " ! I continue to participate in bidding. "

Her lyricist added elements of China Chinese characters and China Yi people to her English songs. She hopes that more people in the world can understand China and support China!

Prospect planning

Someone asked Aunt Ji Hu: As a girl from China, what do you think of her prospects for developing music in Britain? Ayi Ji nonsense, it is difficult to make music, and it is even more difficult for a China person to make music in a foreign country. But I am willing to try, because I want to set an example for other young people in China. I hope that when they see my efforts, they will think: if she can successfully pursue her dreams in Britain, so can I.

She likes rhythm and blues and hip-hop music. She thinks her first album is just the beginning of what she calls "expressing rhythm and blues in China way". The second album (Pepper Power) is being produced and will take her further. She still has a long way to go. Generally speaking, she feels that the whole nation needs to "get out of its closet" in order to truly express itself. Her first album was about freedom. She knows that although she may be censored and misunderstood by many communities at first, she is determined to stick to her own path and take the real rhythm and blues route. "I decided to take this long road to success and keep it true," she said. Although there are many tempting proposals to make me a pop singer like others, I will stick to what I know and what I believe.
