Even though I do not understand chinese well, I like chinese music. Most chinese songs have lovely melody and splendid music arrangements . Dao Lang is one of my favourite chinese singer and composer. Click here for download his greatest hit " the first snow of the year 2002" and lyric in pinyin with english translation.
Dao Lang's popularity came from out of the blue, without any packaging or promotion. As for his origins, people only know that he hails from Sichuan in south-western China and is Han in ethnicity. His real name is Lou Lin. His hometown is Luoquan township in Zizhong County, Sichuan Province. When he was sixteen years and just had graduated from secondary school he went to the Neijiang to learn to play keyboard instruments. Two years later he toured Chengdu ( the capital of Sichuan Province) , Xian and Tibet for more than two years as a bar- hopping musician. He did not spend a single day in university.
When he arrived in Xinjiang, the music from Xinjiang inspired him so much that he decided to do something. Then he published a disc of sundry pop music in 2001. But a little copies were sold. Because of this failure he buried most of his time in library. Then he traveled to Gobi desert to meet Uygur people and study their music.
He published another disc " songs from western region in 2002." His voice is unique because of combining the bold and rough Uygur music with the high pitch Sichuan opera. The result is he had created something different. "Songs from western region" became hit instantly including " the first snow of the year 2002."
