Chapter 257: I Call to the World

At the Christmas party in the City of Angels in the United States, after the lights in the center of the stage suddenly turned on, three tall and straight figures appeared.

The one in the middle, wearing a black T-shirt with a black and white pattern printed on the front of the T-shirt, is a roaring avatar.

A costume with a very rock 'n' roll style.

He holds the guitar in his arms.

On both sides of him, the clothes of his teammates also have a lot of meaning.

A T-shirt is printed with the representative of the American Civil War, who unified the United States.

On the other T-shirt is a leader who fought for equality and freedom for black Americans.

The one in the middle is naturally Wang Zi'an, a yellow race.

On the left is a Caucasian man holding a bass.

On the right is a black man, holding an electric guitar.

The audience cheered.

"Tes!"

"King!"

"Wilson!"

Wang Zian is not famous in the United States, but the two people next to him are among the best rock singers in the United States and are very famous.

is so famous that Ivanka, a rookie, is not an opponent of these two at all.

There weren't many people in the audience shouting Wang Zi'an's name off-stage, at least much less than Tess and Wilson.

But Wang Zi'an didn't care.

The white Tess and the black Wilson probably felt that this was not hospitality, and they all stretched out their thumbs to Wang Zi'an, looked at the audience, and signaled everyone to give Wang Zi'an a warmer voice.

Some viewers wondered, Wang Zi'an is a Daewoo native, and he has preferential treatment in the United States, but he is not so preferential that big names like Tess and Wilson are so favored, right?

It seems that Tess and Wilson are willing to be foils and green leaves, and they don't feel out of place at all.

Why?

Although I don't know why, the audience in the audience gave the idol a lot of face.

"King!"

"King!"

The crowd chanted and shouted Wang Zi'an's name.

But they probably couldn't remember Wang Zi'an's full name for a while, and could only shout one word - Wang Zi'an's surname.

Tess and Wilson immediately gave the audience a thumbs up and said that everyone was great.

At that time, Wang Zian wanted to laugh and felt that a group of people were "Wang".

Then he was silent, does that mean are you a dog, or am I a dog?

didn't have time to think about it, anyway, Wang Zi'an waved warmly and responded: "everybody, Good evening, Nice to be in Los Angeles......"

Seeing him speak English, although he was not very fluent and standard, the audience was very excited.

Daewoo people can speak English.

For them, this is a great honor and pride.

Amid the cheers of the audience, musical accompaniment sounded.

The audience didn't know what song Wang Zi'an was going to sing tonight.

But from Ivanka, they guessed that it was probably the same as Ivanka, either a love song with a sense of the times, or a love song of the new era.

Daewoo audiences are also a little looking forward to it, counting it, Wang Zi'an hasn't released a new song for a long time.

More than four months.

He is no longer making trouble on Weibo, and many people are about to forget him.

After all, there are too many newcomers in the entertainment industry, and there are many active old people.

Artists who have no exposure are quickly forgotten.

Wang Zi'an and the other three on the stage looked at each other in a friendly manner, playing musical instruments, and their bodies swayed with the music.

“AMANI

NAKUPENDA

NAKUPENDA WE WE

......”

As soon as the singing begins, the chorus is partial, and a light is lit on the side of the center of the stage.

There was a group of children standing there, there were yellows, there were whites, there were blacks, there were boys, there were girls.

A group of children started singing, and the music video was played on the big screen.

It was a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and the battlefield spread to residential areas, and among the ruins, there were civilians and children covered in dust and bleeding......

"AMANI, NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE, TUNA TAKA WE WE" IS THE SWAHILI WORD FOR KENYA, AFRICA, WHERE "AMANI" MEANS PEACE, "NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WEWE" MEANS "WE LOVE YOU", AND "TUNA TAKA WE WE" MEANS "WE NEED YOU".

The MV picture is accompanied by music, and the group of children on the stage are shocking.

It's a ......

Anti-war songs!

It's not a song of love, love.

Fans think that Wang Zi'an's songs are inspirational at most, and most of them can only be love songs written for commercial purposes.

Unexpectedly, he could also write about real life, real society, child survival, social issues, and war.

Writing what you want to express and create is the true meaning of a musician.

The chorus part of the children's chorus passed, and Wang Zi'an opened his mouth to sing:

"It rules everything in the world

It sings of love

Its truth is all over the earth

How it never returns

Can it be felt

Beacon smoke obscures the sky and the future

Helpless with frozen eyes

Tears and look at the sky with grief and indignation

It is an indictment of war to the end

Hurt is children

I call to the world

......”

After the shout, it's another chorus.

Prince Ann and Tes, Wilson, and the Children's Ensemble sang.

“AMANI

NAKUPENDA

NAKUPENDA WE WE

......”

The second time I sang the chorus, the scene was more shocking and the impact was more intense.

Countless viewers burst into tears.

By the time of the third chorus, someone on the scene had learned to sing along.

After Wang Zi'an shouted "I call to the world" for the fourth time, the whole audience sang a chorus, and many people were so excited that they cried.

Many viewers in front of the TV set were infected and their blood boiled.

In the whole world, peace is indeed the theme.

But local wars continued.

In order to become stronger, some countries can only plunder the resources of other countries.

In the MV, the children who bleed and even died tragically on the ground, what is wrong with them?

They don't understand the world yet, they don't know what the world is like, and they fall in pools of blood.

The onlookers who watched the war, who were indifferent to the death of life, heard this song and saw this MV, and they were all silent.

It turns out that war is so cruel.

It should be more brutal than they now imagined.

The song sung by Wang Zi'an is called "Amani".

In its previous life, it was one of the musical works of the Hong Kong rock band Beyond, and there were two versions: Cantonese and Chinese.

The Cantonese version is written and composed by Huang Jiaju, and the Chinese version is written by Lin Xi and composed by Huang Jiaju.

Peace and love have always been the theme of Beyond, and "Amani" is a song written in response to the support of refugee children in Africa and a call for peace, which is included in the album "Hesitation".

Huang Jiaju wrote this song at a time when the Gulf War had just ended.

He wrote the song by witnessing the brutality of war from various articles and video sources, and also traveled to Papua New Guinea to witness the suffering of the local people due to war and famine.

It wasn't written after the band Beyond went to Africa, as rumored on the Internet.

Papua New Guinea belongs to Oceania, from the perspective of land area, it is by no means a small country, its whole territory is composed of more than 600 large and small islands, the overall area has reached 462,840 square kilometers, equivalent to 12 bay islands, is the second largest country in Oceania after Australia.

Jiaju wrote this poem "Amani" to remind people that peace must also be earned on their own.

The impact of the song was so profound that every time the Beyond band performed live, the chorus was a spectacular one.
