聽見沖繩：沖繩音樂的過去與現在（檳城站）Hearing Okinawa: Okinawan Music Past and Present (Penang stop)

聽見沖繩：沖繩音樂的過去與現在

沖繩（琉球群島）擁有極其豐富且獨特的音樂傳統，從古老的宮廷音樂、流傳於民間的島唄（Shima-uta），到當代反映社會現實的抗爭歌曲與流行樂。每一段旋律背後，都深刻嵌合著琉球王朝的興衰與處置、二戰的創傷，以及戰後美軍佔領下的生存韌性。

本場分享會邀請到了來自台灣的主講人鮑沛蘭與來自馬來西亞的樂手廖聖捷。他們共同經營的臉書專業「音樂學夫婦的筆記」。沛蘭將與觀眾分享她這些年來在琉球群島各處採集、拜師學藝所得的音樂脈絡。透過現場演奏，她們將展現琉球音樂特有的音階與質地，並探討諸如「命どぅ宝」（nuchi du takara，生命是寶貴的）等琉球核心價值如何透過歌謠在代際間傳遞。

從南方島嶼出發，在檳城舊工廠的空間裡，透過台灣的視角，探尋那些在靜默中依然傳唱不輟的沖繩前世今生。

Hearing Okinawa: Okinawan Music Past and Present

The Ryukyu Islands possess an incredibly rich and distinct musical heritage. From the refined court music of the Ryukyu Kingdom and traditional folk Shima-uta to contemporary songs born from social resistance and base politics. Every melody is deeply intertwined with the rise and fall of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the collective trauma of World War II, and the resilience of a people living under post-war U.S. military occupation.

This sharing session features speaker PAO Pei Lan from Taiwan and musician Sanjay Liou from Malaysia, the duo behind the popular Facebook page "Notes from a Musicology Couple." Pei Lan will share her extensive musical map, drawn from years of field collecting and learning traditional music across the Ryukyu archipelago. Through live performances, they will showcase the unique scales and textures of Ryukyuan music and explore how core values such as "nuchi du takara" (life is a treasure) are preserved and transmitted through song as a form of cultural resistance.

Begin with the southern islands, hosted within the former factory building in Penang, offering a unique perspective to explore the past and present of Okinawan sounds that continue to sing through the silences of history.
