festival of lights West Hill Performance Part 1 - CinemAsia Film Festival 2012

Chinese hiphop performance of the band West Hill (Xi Shan) at the CinemAsia Film Festival @ De Balie, Amsterdam. The band members are the subjects of the documentary "SAY SING" made by the Taiwanese director Kuang-Chong Yu.

West Hill (Xi Shan) is a rap group coming straight out of Yunnan region. They chose the protest genre of rap/hip hop as their creative vehicle to express the harsh realities of life, measuring up cool grooves, incorporating traditional instruments into their sound pool, they laced their lyrics with humor, satire and side swipe digs at a wide range of topics; social, emotional and controversial. Most uniquely, they rap in their own Kunming dialect. They recorded several demo tracks looking for a record deal but were ignored by all the record companies due to its 'provocative' nature then Kuang Chong Yu, a well known Taiwanese song lyrist and producer discovered them in 2007. Knowing enough about the market, Yu decided to follow the boys' lives in order to bring the band's story to the attention of the world.

After 4 years of working on the film, they found a chance to introduce the true story of the Chinese hiphop band to the audiences outside China while the boys will have performances for the first time abroad. The documentary will be screened as a rough cut while the screening of the film itself as well as the band's performances will be shot and used as the ending scenes of the finally completed film.

The audience was so full enthusiasm about the rough cut of the "SAY SING" documentary, that it received the CinemAsia Audience Award of 2012.
The acknowledgement of this Award means a thumbs up and a clear sign that the audience would like to see more of this documentary (and West Hill)!
