The Works of Yi Man-Made

"Made by Yi People I"

The call of the wild--"Made by Yi People I"

In 2000, the first "Made by Yi People I" album, which featured "The Beggar of Love", caused quite a shock in the singing world. This is a wild and with a very strong tension album. The perfect harmonies of Yi Renmade are like voices from heaven, able to penetrate one's soul and purify one's mind.

The real songs are the ones with feelings, the externalization of life's joys and sorrows, not created out of thin air. The works produced by the Yi people embody the spirituality and talent for music, they flow with the pure and simple beauty unique only to mountain songs, and have a wide range of voices; the songs are different from the pentatonic mode, and are often transposed as they wish, and there is enough emphasis on rhythm; their music follows its own mysterious laws, and allows for the emotions that can only be brewed in the Liangshan Mountains between the mountains and the waters. Of course, what is most appreciated is the melancholy and contemplative beauty of the slow songs, which refuse to be hysterical, to copy sensationalism, or to push recklessly into the main theme of the song; while the fast songs are overflowing with the most primitive joy and the worship of nature, without the slightest trace of urban chaos.

The compositions in "Made by Yi People I" are all rich in pop flavor, whether in melody, lyrics or singing, which suggests that the creator, Habu, has found an optimal creative point. Knowing There's a Tiger in the Mountain" is densely packed with electronic sounds, and the lyrics and melody are rather bizarre, utilizing a lot of proverbs and irony for a rather novel perspective, while "I Want You" is recklessly transposed, yet very smooth and highly listenable. Qubihab's chanting style of singing is intertwined and mixed with Aki's high-pitched, rock-cracking voice, with a distinctive colorful personality. Beggar for Love" is a sad and beautiful mood, structured and organized, with rich layers, and close to the ideal in terms of vocal performance. Others such as "Let Me In" is a very typical Yi flavor of fast songs; "Too Late" is also a potential pop song, with a very poignant mood; "Ancient Eagle", "Wind and Rain? Thunder and Lightning? Nuosu" is a mythological genre of work, the production of modern and avant-garde, breaking through the limitations of similar works in the past, the lyrics are very elaborate; even "Homesickness" such a piece of work in the album seems to be very common, its musical sense of the picture, the singer sings when the heart of the love of no secular pretensions, pure and simple shocking to the soul.

"Made by Yi People II"

Flying Dreams-〖Made by Yi People II〗

September, 2001, in the harvest of the golden autumn, "Made by Yi People II" showed its refreshing style in front of the world. the world. From the point of view of the Yi people's journey, their career is on the right track in this period, and they are full of beautiful visions for the future. Therefore, the main color of the whole album is full of romantic idealism.

The album's lead single, "The Mistress of the Thatched Cottage," is a story with unreal colors, filled with the desire for a pure and simple life and love. Between the mountains, in the middle of the dense forest, a simple thatched hut, a virtuous, beautiful and faithful hostess, primitive and rustic life, this is a beautiful picture of how mesmerizing! "The sky is bluer after the rainbow, into the beautiful thatched hut in the mountains." "Dream, unwilling to wake up, because it is too beautiful unwilling to wake up", if this is an ideal dream, then "Beautiful Goddess" is directly out of a strange dream of Habu, the lyrics murmured, the music is weird and beautiful, rich in psychedelic color.

The dream is a mysterious world for the Yi people. It is the tunnel that leads the Yi people across time and space to the past and the future. For thousands of years, the Yi people have used dreams to foresee the future and divine good and bad fortune. In the villages closer to the primitive, this instinct is more accurate. In the vast majority of Yi people, this almost supernormal ability is hidden. At the same time, in the city alienated by commercial materialism, dreams are often a peaceful harbor for the soul. Jumping bonfires, fragrant spirits, and melodious love songs are all elements that build up the spiritual home in dreams, and they also become the symbols of creativity.

The style of their music during this period was throbbing, with a sense of spontaneity and aesthetic sincerity. As Harb says, "Our style will continue to change as long as we can still fool around for a day. If one day people say that a certain song is in the style made by Yi people, it means that we are set in our ways, and it will be hard to make new breakthroughs and progress.

"Mom"

Infinite affection--〖Mom〗

January 2003, "Made in Yi" came out with strong affection. Up to now, Yi Ren Ren has kept the record of releasing a new album every year for three consecutive years, which is not common in the original music of the domestic singing world. What's more, the sales of all three albums are not bandits.

The title track of this album, "Mom", touched the hearts of all travelers with the warmth of motherly love. The song instantly spread all over the country, became the highest rate of the song, so far every year on Mother's Day this song is still high in the top of the list of on-demand songs. Imagine, in the busy world running around us, who do not want to be at home with their mothers *** enjoy the joy of family, but in order to distant dreams, in order not to let their mothers disappointed, must be temporarily cut off affection far away from home, and mothers will always be a wanderer in the dark night of the bright light. The eternal theme, unique expression, beautiful melody touches the most sensitive nerves of the listener and causes a wide range of ****sound.

Artistic creation, sometimes intentional but difficult to achieve the right result, sometimes inadvertent inspiration but into a monumental work. Mom" is a good work created inadvertently. At a small party, Habu picked up his guitar and hummed randomly, and his friends found it very appealing to their ears, so they recorded it and filled in the lyrics. The arrangement of "Mom" is also very light, synthesized with only three box organs, a tambourine and a sand hammer. The image of mom in "Mom" MTV music TV is played by Habu and Hari's mother, a beautiful and kind image, real and touching. "Old as we are, we are old as others", Yi Renmade has mentioned countless times that this song is dedicated to all the mothers in the world. However, the source of emotion for its creation is the infinite love and care from their mothers. Whether they succeed or fail, whether they are poor or rich, their mothers support them silently. Therefore, after success and in their leisure time, their mothers are the people they are most attached to and the home of their affection.

Seeing

Pursuing Perfection--Seeing

After two years of precipitation, the fourth album made by Yi people is finally released in the midst of people's passionate expectation. If we say that the first album made by Yi people is somewhat wild and full of country ballads; the second album is avant-garde personality and rock alternative; the third album is simple, back to basics; the fourth album is full of pictures, the style of pursuit of aesthetics, and pay more attention to the beauty of the melody. Each album has a lot to offer, and there are a few songs that are full of vitality and can be passed on many years later. Wild - avant-garde - simple - aesthetic, which not only reflects the trajectory of change in the style of Yi people's production works, but also a reflection of their journey.

In these two years of momentum, Yi Renmade's passion for music and understanding of life has been growing day by day, and they have been searching for their ideal musical state. The new album "Beautiful Girl" is a powerful answer to this. The understanding and interpretation of different people's emotions in different times has never stopped, and the art forms surrounding this subject matter are endless. The song "Beautiful Girl" is full of the most sincere feelings created by Yi people, composing a chapter full of melancholy and sadness, which is undoubtedly a beautiful flower interpreting the eternal theme from a new perspective. It is not only not vulgar, but also very listenable, which is not easy to do. We can clearly feel the sincerity and simplicity of the most sincere and primitive from the depth of our heart in the songs made by Yi people. The arrangement of the music has improved significantly, the style of the song is majestic, with the shock of the king's style, but also without losing the gentle, lyrical softness, coupled with the exotic style of the Ma Touqin, which aptly expresses the breathtakingly bleak sadness. In terms of singing, Yi Ren Ren made inherited the original harmonic advantages, and in the new song made the harmonic advantages play to the extreme.

It can be said that the fourth album is a milestone in the maturity of Yi Renmade's music creation and development. Each song in the album is a beautiful painting, which not only gives people an auditory impact, but also a visual enjoyment. For example, "Saw" paints a picture of a peaceful, harmonious and beautiful earthly landscape with doves flying and children playing freely. There is a painting in the song and a song in the painting, complementing each other beautifully. On the one hand, this is the aesthetic artistic orientation pursued by Yi people's production and a new creative realm; on the other hand, it is not unrelated to Habu's professional background in fine arts, which demonstrates the creator's feelings and mood with the help of the picture and color in the painting.

True art must pay attention to the warmth and coldness of the world, the reality of society, reflecting the main theme of the times. This is a quality that all responsible art creators must possess, and it is also the key to giving life to art. Different from the previous three albums, the new album is more close to and concerned about the existence of society, in addition to the beautiful and beautiful works such as "Beautiful Girl", "Ah Niu" and "Love Song" that interpret the emotional world with a calm mind, "Saw" in this album has a weight that cannot be underestimated, and it can be interpreted as a song of public welfare that is aimed at begging for peace and protecting a beautiful homeland; and "Children in the Mountain" reflects the aspirations and dreams of children from the poor mountainous areas. In July 2003, during the Torch Festival, the band performed at the Ninglang Yi Autonomous County in Yunnan Province and donated 130,000 RMB to set up a "Yi People's Hope Primary School", which was featured on CCTV-3's "World of Love". CCTV-3's "World of Love" program team followed the whole process. Now they are also the long-term donors of the "Unknown Scholarship", and together with their friends, they sponsor 90 students every year in the minority areas of Yunnan. If the sense of return has always been present in the Yi people's creative work, it is a return to social responsibility.

The new album has some notable highlights, one is the Yi people made added a new member - Mu Nai, he has a unique voice, tone sensibility, transparent, infectious, can easily drive the listener's emotions, coupled with the original American singing skills, can be said to be the icing on the cake for the Yi people made. Secondly, the famous musician Zheng Jun served as the producer of this album, and thus in the feeling of the new album also feel the rock passion and strong rhythm from Zheng Jun's music, and these diversified factors are bound to make the music of the Yi People's Manufacturing in this waiting for the blossoming of flowers in this season to blossom out of the gorgeous flowers.

"The Return"

Yi Renmade, after four years of meticulous craftsmanship, brings us the album titled "The Return", a veritable return of our favorite celestial music group, Yi Renmade, is back.

The elements used in the design of the album are all oil paintings reflecting the life of the Yi people, all of which were hand-painted by Yi Ren Ren's group member Habu. Four of the songs are joined by the famous folk singer and national-level actor Qu Bi Aw.

This time, Yi People Made put down their wild gestures and complicated techniques and harmonies. This time, they want to return to the bright southern sky, to the fresh and moist air of their hometown, and to the cradle of pastoral and love songs in their memories.

This is an unusual return journey. The time is wrapped up in the tide of people to the future wildly. The sensitive mind cannot follow the old fashions of the moment. To whom should the singer sing? What should be sung? Obviously, Yi people have found their own answer. They have found their own direction with simple, smooth and deep singing, which is obviously an alternative gesture in the fashionable city, and an unusual return journey.

Perhaps none of this is important, what is important is that when time forgets today's clamor and noise, Yi Renmade must have the courage to say: we squandered away our youth in these melodies.
