    The Amis are one of the indigenous groups in Taiwan and speak an Austronesian language. They are traditionally classified as a matrilineal society and have many traditional rituals. Each Amis community has its own varied ritual dates and procedures. The name of the album Pakelang in the Amis language is a music and dance celebration held after a good harvest or the end of work. In Amis society, a pakelang will be held when a festival comes to an end, a house construction is completed, a member passes an important exam, or someone gets promoted. Nonetheless, if a misfortune happens, a pakelang will be held to manifest that it is over and welcomes a brand new start. The term itself is of rich cultural significance and strength.

    This album is the result of the collaboration of the “Second Generation Falangao Singing Group” and “The Chairman.” The original Falangao Singing Team is an Amis ancient tune singing group led by Difang Duana (Guo Yingnan), and its second generation team is led by his son Jiang Jinxing (Bai Lang) who inherited his legacy. The Chairman is a well-known rock band in Taiwan. They have been entitled to a fascinating career of more than 20 years with countless music awards received at home and abroad. The collaboration of the two musical giants has sparked unlimited possibilities for this album, creating a unique style of world music enriched by Taiwan’s local culture, which also transcends any musical borders.

    About Design
    Taiwan is an island nation surrounded by oceans. The designer started out with the
    images of Taiwan’s east coast in mind, using paper cutout to show the silhouettes of coastlines, mountain ranges, late Difang Duana (Guo Yingnan), and the Amis people singing in order to symbolize the idea of cultural traditions passed down from one generation to another. Exterior packaging is made of celluloid to symbolize the open and inclusive spirit of the oceans by which the people live, with the hope that it will deliver this beautiful culture to every corner in the world through music and singing voices.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Pakelang via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Ah-Lah Cha-Cha
We come to the beach to dance
We all enjoy coming to the beach to dance
Ah-Lah Cha-Cha
No need to be humble. No need to be shy
We dance and fall in love, dancing in each other’s
arms
Ah-Lah Cha-Cha
Let’s dance over there
Here’s the beach
Here’s the beach
Let’s sing and dance together
Cha-Cha-Cha, Cha-Cha-Cha
(Amis Romanization)
