Shirly Sung China (Yunnan) Folk Song--044: Long & Deep Friendship

LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG

  Do you know something about the Long March in ChinaThat is a great work that was created by China Red Army in Chinese modern history in 1934 to 1936, about 70 years ago.

So, many artists and musicians have created many great arts and music works to make a memory about Long March..

The song "Long and Deep Friendship"s just one of the songs to admire the Long March.

My teacher thought that I did a good work to sing it, especially I kept the position in my head part very well, so, she said ok just we made the record second time. :-)

Both of us were smiling for I was in fact to sing with a headache last night. Maybe just the headache was helping me to make the breath entered my head cavity and be attached on a right point?   :-)

Just hope that my effort with my music will a little bit help to your Chinese learning and to know something more about Chinese culture. :-)
