Back Alley Jinjiang Opera, Redux
Posted by Mark Baker under 2006 Trip to China , Anhai, Jinjiang , Fujian Province , Video PostsNo Comments
In the original “Back Alley Jinjiang Opera” post, I hinted at some video footage to follow.
Here it is.
Thing is, the camera I was using to shoot video that day doesn’t record sound.
Hmm. Bummer.
So, rather than hunt around for some Jinjiang Opera audio recording, I’ve just added a musical background that is light years away from matching, but for some reason seems to “work” for me–probably because I’ve been going through another of my periodic Kurt Weill / Bertolt Brecht / Weimarer Republik musical tangents here lately, during which nothing else sounds good.
Anyway, here it is: Jinjiang Opera on the video, “Zuhälterballade” von Die Dreigroschenoper on the audio. Go figure.
