What happens when 2,500-year-old folk traditions collide with modern synth beats? Director Jiaozi and composer Yang Rui just dropped the answer—and it’s 🔥. Their latest project reboots cultural DNA for the digital age, transforming a UNESCO-listed Dong chorus into an electrifying battle anthem that’s equal parts history and hype.
From UNESCO to EDM
Imagine a sound that’s survived millennia—now remixed with pulsing synths and cinematic flair. Yang Rui, the musical mastermind behind the project, calls it "a new language for Eastern legends." Think Game of Thrones meets synthwave, but rooted in China’s rich ethnic heritage.
Why Gen Z Cares
This isn’t your grandma’s folk music. By blending ancient pentatonic scales with digital production, the team’s creating bridges between TikTok-ready beats and stories that’ve outlived empires. Jiaozi puts it simply: "Timeless tales deserve timeless mediums."
Could this be the blueprint for preserving global traditions in the streaming era? One thing’s clear: cultural heritage just got a serious glow-up. 🚀
