#suona

♠️_Il linguaggio della tenerezza,dove ogni tocco è una corda che suona la melodia della nostra passione.🖤🌹

I'm a little obsessed with how the suona (嗩吶/唢呐) comes in and proceeds to kick ass in a couple of drama themes (specifically 碧苍战歌 from Legend of Shen Li and 天外來客不悲不愁金剛之身不死不休 from I Am Nobody) and pop songs, so I made a playlist of modern tracks featuring it. The playlist includes hip-hop, rock, dance, pop, and soundtrack/score pieces.

I don't know anything about woodwinds and I don't know much about traditional Chinese musical instruments, so it's possible a couple of tracks shouldn't be here. The Cui Jian song does belong here, though! That is a suona played by a saxophonist (who happens to be the son of a suona player). I've heard that iconic song a million times but hadn't realized it was a suona until I started this playlist.

First, Hacken Lee sang a classic, "Flower Protector" 《护花使者》, that had everybody dancing (if you watch c-actor douyins or behind-the-scenes clips from dramas, you've most likely heard it!).

And Jason (from NU'EST) followed up with a cosplay performance where he did wuxia moves and played the suona!
