CD Review:

Biung/Biung/Wind

This is the second release by this very talented aboriginal singer from the Bunun tribe. The songs are performed in a mixture of Mandarin and the Bunun language. However, no matter whether you can understand the lyrics or not, you are sure to enjoy Biung's powerful, clean voice and the emotion and energy he puts into each of the songs. For example, "The Lonely Squirrels" relates his feelings of homesickness and fond memories of his childhood in a small village in Taitung.
