The charm of Zhoujiaban

Throughout the seven generations of Zhou family, as a family band, it is rare all over the world. It is a miracle that so many people are engaged in the drum music industry, making a living by playing folk music and taking it as their family's ideal and belief. Since the fifth generation, Zhou Jiaban has broken the lock that drum music classes can't inherit children, and began to select female descendants with excellent qualifications in the family to teach them, adding colorful colors to Zhou Jiaban musicians. The fifth generation of female successors, Zhou Benhua, Zhou and Zhou Xiangcao are known as "four flowers of drum music", and together with the fifth generation of female musicians such as Zhou Jun, Zhou, Zhou Daning, Zhou Xue and Xuan Nannan, they have become the main force of Zhou Jiaban's female band.

In addition to the Zhou family, the members of the Zhou family musicians also attracted like-minded in-laws, such as the fifth generation and Jiang, and Zhou Qiang and Jiang, who often performed on the same stage, were affectionately called Suona Yuanyang.

Since the second generation of Zhou Jiaban, that is, with an open mind, people with foreign surnames have come to learn from their teachers, which is very friendly. After that, Zhou, Zhou, Zhou, Zhou, Zhou attracted many disciples with superb skills, especially the old man he taught, the disciples outside the door, and the disciples who started classes at Huangmei Opera Academy. Add it up, no, Zhou Jiaban has formed its own unique style of play after seven generations of inheritance:

First of all, he has rich experience in stage performance. With almost uninterrupted stage experience in the past hundred years, Zhou Jiaban is good at performing in various life, production and application occasions such as weddings, funerals, blessings, temple fairs and sacrifices. He can not only play corresponding classics or lost tracks according to the needs of the occasion, but also create various interactive and comprehensive live instrumental performances to adjust the atmosphere. The whole team is more tacit and innovative.

Second, he is good at developing China folk culture. During the performance, Zhou Jiaban paid attention to the study of China folk traditions and combined them with specific performances.

Thirdly, from the initial solo technique to today's various playing techniques, such as vocalization (single, double and triple tones), abdominal vibrato, tooth vibrato, sliding sound, pad sound, tongue playing and so on. Music is open and closed, static and dynamic, full of changes, with strong local characteristics in northern Anhui.

Fourth, some local operas (such as dulcimer, drum, shadow play, Sizhou opera, etc. ), folk tunes, and even classical music, pop songs, rock songs, foreign music and other forms have been integrated into the traditional qupai.
