In chinese,Buyi is meaning Common People,the original mean is the people who wearing cotton cloth.Started in 1995 in Yinchuan, Ningxia(银川市), Buyi Band(布衣乐队) make refreshing and natural music, expressing the original disposition of the people of north-west China. Listening to their music is like wandering around the boundless wilderness of Ningxia, surrounded by beauty that will make your head spin. Buyi Band are critically acclaimed by main stream media as the most outstanding popular rock band.
Since Buyi’s inception ten years ago, their fundamental sound has barely changed. While dipping into the occasional reggae beat, they stick to classic rock augmented by traditional instruments and vocals. Their lead guitarist also plays the guzheng, a Chinese string instrument with over 2,000 years of history. The guzheng is laid flat and played by plucking horizontal strings while simultaneously vibrating them, creating a quivering sound that resembles flowing water. The hulusi, a gourd flute, the electric cello, and the western trumpet all add sounds that juxtapose the sound of modern instruments in Buyi. Zhang Wei, the guitar/guzheng player suggests that using such contrasting elements creates a version of rock that is uniquely Chinese.
“We have to take western rock and roll and make it our own by adding elements of our own culture.” “That’s why we use instruments like the guzheng,” says Zhang Wei. “I’ve been playing the guzheng since I was seven, long before I ever touched a guitar. So it is with this background that I approach the electric guitar. I always experiment with the guitar, at times pushing its sound toward that natural feel that you can get with the guzheng.”
It is surprising that after so many years of producing quality music, the band has yet to gain a similar popularity felt by mainstream bands. They have performed on Chinese national television, and have four self-released albums, but still struggle to pay the rent, turning to family, girlfriends and the occasional part-time job for money.
The band has been running for forteen years,and their albums include "That Long(那么久)", live album and DVD "Endless Wine(喝不完的酒)", their new EP "That Place of Buyi Band(布衣的那儿,maybe it should be translate to The Buyi's Naier,because Naier also the name of the Bass)"and many more unofficially released records which are enjoyed by their fans. The second album from the recording studio will be released on CD in the middle of 2009. Buyi Band's song "Wo Ai Ni Qinai de Guniang" is widely known to be on the soundtrack of the film "Crazy Stone(疯狂的石头)". The song "Sing for You(为你唱)" was included on the CD collection "Gift(礼物)" in remembrance of Ju Zhang(张矩)---the ex-bass of Tang Dynasty(唐朝乐队),he was died on 1995 because of a car crush accident.
But for me,the best album of Buyi is their first product named Buyi,the same of their band name.some of the great songs all including this unlease CD,Autumn(秋天),Sanfeng(三峰),It's hard to imagine of the wolrd(世事难料)...ets.
3 years ago,the first time i met a CD named Baddead3--Hua yuan chun(Garden village,Badhead3 花园村) which is published by Badhead(a folk music brand of the Modernsky company,摩登天空旗下民谣厂牌),I know i love it.really love it.In this album,the last song is happend Buyi's Autumn(秋天).since that,when i didn't know what can i do or where i want to go,i just missing this song,Autumn.yes,Autumn,every sadness autumn.
A part lyrics of Autumn:
It's lifeless when the flowers dying away
Falling leaves look likes your face
I don't want to see your depression
I'm looking for the restiveness in your eyes.
The wild migratory goose is flying
They're busy to south
I know they always have their path to follow
But where i should go(be) tomorrow?
Befor the Autumn coming,get ready a good feel for you life.
