You don’t often get to see horses galloping near the Hong Kong waterfront, but for several weeks now, one area not so far from the Star Ferry in Central has been home to 40 stallions, and the humans that train and perform with them.
We often hear the expression “The Hong Kong Story” but this is a city of not one but uncountable stories. A new exhibition “Made in Hong Kong: Our City. Our Stories” is one the most recent attempt to tell just a few more of them.
A devout Buddhist, Taiwanese rapper Dwagie takes as his subject issues ranging from man’s relationship with animals to Tibetan freedom. People with whom he has collaborated range from fellow rapper Nas to the Dalai Lama. He raps mostly in his native Hokkien language. While Dwagie was in Hong Kong three years ago during the anti-national education protests he wrote the song “Brainwashing Education”. Two weeks ago he was back again for a one-night concert. The Works caught up with him then.
Music has no real boundaries for pianist Stefano Bollani, who performs classical music, smooth and more avant-garde jazz, Brazilian jazz, and pop rock. Collaboration, he says, bring him inspiration, whether in classical, jazz or pop music field. This week, he’s in Hong Kong for a concert, and he’s here right now with Ben Pelletier.
