Enjoying Tibetan folk dance(2)/Carlos Pueblo
It's been more than a week that I have been enjoying Tibetan folk dace, preciously the Kangba Tibetan Kuochuang dance. Kangba Tibetan are located on West Sichuan Province, China and Eastern Tibet. Kangba Tibetan are not Chinese, some of them are taller and lighter skin than most of Chinese. The Kuochuang dance moves both feet, arms, and hands simultaneously with current day popular music along with lively charming young ladies as well as handsome boys and gentlemen is very attractive to me. This You Tube video is presented by an artist called Smart Tent lucky with at two groups discipline dancers. Since last week, I have compared other Tibetan folk dances around the U.S. and Canada and I still prefer this Smart Tent lucky programs. Let me introduce three lovely dancers and two lovely songs.
There are more than 20 charming ladies dancers whom I can locate their names in the future if I feel like it. The group perform at ground under a high way bridge at southern part of Chengdu, Sichuan usually lead by a master Yung Cheng, an attractive young girl with perfect performance both feet and arms with her beautiful and colorful uniforms. The Kuochuang dance is required complete expressing of arms and hands along with many beautiful steps to move feet both forward and backward. She raises her arms vertically on one and waves the other softly. Sometimes she would wear a cowboy hat. The other leader is La Tsaou who has a lovely moon like face also wears the dancing uniforms. Most of the time due to working hard and summer heat, she swears a lot yet is still an excellent leader. I forget to mention that Kuochuang dance is a half circled group dance moving around the ground. The number 3 girl is younger and slightly taller than the other two masters, Yuong Jen is her first name. She moves more casually than the other two and I would not category her as a master; however, her dancing is still very attractive. There are times that all three are next to each other and that is a treat we can witness the harmony of their waves and discipline. Of course, I must apology for not mentioning some other pretty girls dancers along with these three.
Two popular songs have been my favorite, one is the evening rain of Lhasa and the other is Tso Ma. Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet and ancient Tibetan Dynasty while Tso Ma is a girl's name. Videos always present songs with singer's voice and followed by just music. Popular hits are very much different from the traditional Tibetan folk music and I love the current one kind.
