「世界音樂」作為一種風格流派，總是在定義上相當模糊、卻在現實裡塑造了特定的刻板印象：它一定是過時又老套的。但是下面四位藝人可不同意。他們的音樂，更像是鑽取了「傳統音樂」極富價值的精華部分，再擊碎原有的框架限制，做成與當下息息相關的全新聲響。
混凝草陣容深扒系列第二期：打破套路的世界音樂。
The second in our series of deep dives into the Concrete & Grass 2016 lineup. In this edition, how to break 'World Music'.
The term 'World Music' is one that’s always confused us…it’s always struck us as a little pointless. All music is of this world (except maybe Ben UFO, who aspires to the extra-terrestrial), and the term is often used to bundle together sounds that fit old stereotypes and outdated images of what certain places and people supposedly sound like.
These four artists below have a different view. They take what we might call 'traditional' sounds only to drag them in to the contemporary world. These artists both draw on storied folk traditions and break with them – often with spectacular results.
Let’s meet them.

韓國傳統民族樂器與現代搖滾的碰撞
What 『world music』 should sound like. A searing blend of drone, metal and traditional Korean instruments
Jambinai
「人們總覺得亞洲傳統音樂是舒緩的、令人平靜的，適合做瑜伽和冥想。
[Most] people expect Asian traditional music to make something smooth」, say Jambinai.
"我們想要打破所有套路。」
「[Something] for yoga or meditation. We want to break all of that."
他們無疑是做到了。
And break it they do.
Jambinai三位成員Ilwoo，Eun Youg和Bomi，用玄琴（一種像bass的箏）、奚琴（舊時的弓弦樂器）和篳篥（竹製管樂器），將韓國民族傳統之聲融入到了激情穩健的現代搖滾樂之中，製造著推力十足的沉思之音。這種聲響厚重深邃，在代表曲目《They Keep Silence》的七分鐘裡，體現為從鬼聲囈語到狂躁金屬般吉他riff的急速轉變。
而在舞臺上，Ilwoo將篳篥換成黑色的Ibanez吉他，玄琴聲積蓄起能量，持續低音形成巨大的漩渦，爆發出激烈的能量。「這一切感覺非常自然，他們嫻熟地做出了和他們一樣獨特、壯觀的音樂。」(Sputnik Music)
「瑜伽」成了「武術」。
Ilwoo, Eun Youg and Bomi take the traditional sounds of a geomungo (a bass-like zither), a heagum (an old-school fiddle) and a piri (a Korean oboe), only to twist them to the service of propulsive, meditative rock.
It’s 「massive, visceral.」 (Consequence of Sound). 「Thrilling, unexpected and perfectly controlled.」 (The Guardian). Their signature song, 'They Keep Silence' moves from pained ghost whisper to explosive metal riff in under seven minutes.
On stage, Ilwoo switches his piri for a black Ibanez guitar. The geomungo rattles with coiled-up energy. An even drone keeps time above the maelstrom. Acoustic noodling gives away to bursts of furious energy.
The "yoga" session becomes martial arts.
Jambinai的首張專輯《Différance》發行於2012年，在世界範圍內獲得盛譽，並奪得了韓國「最佳跨界專輯」獎項。備受期待的第二張專輯《A Hermitage》在今年6月剛剛發行。他們將自己獨樹一幟的音樂帶到了多個國際音樂節舞臺，從Glastonbury、Primavera Sound到Roskilde、SxSW，現在，他們來到了混凝草音樂節。
期待周五落日餘暉下強勁有力的沉思之聲。拒絕常規的勇士會愛上他們。
Jambinai’s debut album, Différance, was released in 2012. It’s won them universal acclaim, and a Korean Music Award for 『best crossover album』. Their long-awaited follow up, A Hermitage, was released in June 2016. They』ve taken their sounds to some of the top festivals in the world, from Glastonbury and Primavera to Roskilde and SxSW. And now Concrete & Grass.
Highly recommended for adventurous music listeners. Bringing in the sunset on Friday.
神秘邪典舞曲——深邃靈性下隱藏的流行樂陷阱
Enigmatic dance noir – warped pop mantras rooted in deep spirituality
Aïsha Devi熱衷於營造黑暗王國。她的作品致力探索舞曲邊緣，帶給聽者音樂中常常被忽視的原始感和儀式感。奇特、冥想、精神力極強——她的音樂擁有獵奇者喜愛的所有元素。
她的首張個人EP《Aura 4 Everyone》在實驗廠牌Danse Noire下發行。她的音樂完全模糊了Techno和舞曲的界限，並加入了獨特的尼泊爾和西藏音樂元素，用手中的樂器讓人瞬間進入冥想狀態。首張全長專輯《Of Matter And Spirit》已於2015年10月發布，而她在混凝草音樂節上的表演一定會比錄音室版本更加神秘邪典。
周六晚，帳篷舞臺見。
Aïsha Devi prefers dark realms.
Her work exists on the fringes of dance music, channeling its oft-sidelined primordial, ritual function.
Strange, meditative, deeply spiritual – these are club bangers that walk the path of weirdness.
Here’s her debut EP, Aura 4 Everyone, released via her experimental label Danse Noire. It’s full of boundary-blurring, abstracted techno/club structures and Devi’s exploration of her Nepalese-Tibetan heritage, using her machines to transmute deep meditation.
Her debut LP, Of Matter and Spirit, was released October 2015. Her live set at Concrete & Grass will transcend both.
Keeping it weird in the Yurt, late Saturday.
將強勁的Dubstep與引人起舞的寶萊塢電影配樂共治一爐
Epic Big Bass Bollywood, mixed with style and swagger.
Nucleya
Nucleya是印度首批支持Dubstep的音樂人之一，他擅長將強勁的Dubstep與引人起舞的寶萊塢電影配樂共治一爐，在過去五年間已逐漸成長為印度最深入民心、最具實驗性的電子音樂製作人之一。他的最新專輯《BASS Rani》亦頗具印度民族特色，不但鞏固了「世界低音舞曲」浪潮中印度領軍人物的位置，還在作品中不斷地發掘著全新的聲音。
作為電子樂壇的大熱人物，Nucleya在印度、甚至在英國的Glastonbury等國際流行音樂節上風靡了萬千樂迷，並與Major Lazer、Skrillex、Diplo、Benga和Flux Pavilion等一線音樂人同臺表演。
9月16日周五，跟Nucleya來場異域風情的午後共舞吧~
Concrete & Grass』 very own Bollywood dance party.
Nucleya is India’s biggest DJ. He mixes big-bass South Asian folk with wrecking ball percussion and classic film soundtracks. 『Disco Dancer』 for the 21st century.
Nucleya is Udyan Sagar. As one half of 『The Bandish Projeckt』, he led the vanguard for a new, confident generation of Indian beatmakers. To his raucous re-workings of classic Hindi and Tamil film songs he’s added fragments of Hindustani classical music, and tunes sourced from advertisements and nursey rhymes.
Bass Rani is his explosive new EP, which moves from chaotic bhangra breakdowns to spasmodic South Indian street-folk. He’s played at Glastonbury, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (UK), France’s Lille 3000 and the Electron Festival in Switzerland. He’s opened for Major Lazer, Skrillex, Diplo, Benga and Flux Pavilion.

寧靜悠遠、帶有濃厚門巴民族特色的音符與現代電子節拍的結合
Sparse, delicate traditional folk that rings with the songs and stories of the Menba people
央吉瑪 Yunggie Ma
在《中國夢之聲》獲得亞軍而名字傳遍中國的央吉瑪， 是出生於西藏的門巴族人。從小受到家鄉濃厚音樂氛圍的耳濡目染的她，來到中國傳媒大學念書後，除了參加各種話劇、舞劇的表演之外，還與多位國內知名民謠歌手展開合作，其中就包括了以融合民謠和世界音樂為特色的組合大忘槓等。
而私底下，央吉瑪又極其偏愛像Portishead、Sainkho Namtchylak、Massive Attack以及PJ Harvey這樣的歐美藝人，並將他們的個性氣質與對音樂的執著，融入到自己的作品之中。所以在她的創作裡，你既會被寧靜悠遠、帶有濃厚門巴民族特色的音符所陶醉，也會被律動的現代電子節拍所感染。而央吉瑪那與生俱來，宛如天籟的空靈嗓音從來都是那麼的撫慰人心。
周五傍晚的主舞臺，準備迎接最柔軟動聽的細膩歌聲。
Music that sweeps through time and history, and the stories of an ancient people.
Yunggie Ma is a singer from the Menba minority, who emigrated from Bhutan to the Southeast region of Tibet over 300 years ago. Her music is the tale of her people, passed down through generations. It’s an elegy for a lost way of life, and a defiant faith that another world is possible.
Hers is a rare talent; her extraordinary voice possesses a distinct, striking purity. "The mountain woods listen to her sing and answer with gentle quivering wind," wrote one Chinese reviewer about her debut album, 2016’s Lament for the World of Suffering: The Sacred Land of the Lotus.
Her performances evoke another world; vocal melodies ring with the sound of the distant chants of Tibetan temples, and conjure images of the restless Menba roaming through bustling modern streets.
Yunnggie Ma first shot to fame through her participation in 「Chinese Idol」 2013. Her songs went viral online, rapturously received, and quickly established her as a household name. Along with her folk roots, one can hear an unspoken affection for Tuvan avant-folk singer Sainkho Namtchylak, Portishead, Massive Attack and PJ Harvey in her music.
Yunggie Ma's repertoire features both sparse, traditional arrangements and modern beats. Live, her songs sound strikingly contemporary, yet resonant with the intimate tales of the elders of the Menba clans.
Nice and mellow on the main stage. Friday afternoon.
