Move over, generic fanfares! The 2025 World Games in Chengdu just dropped a genre-blending anthem that’s equal parts Sichuan soul and global groove. 🎻⚡️ Composer Luo Wei’s ‘Light of Chengdu’ is rewriting the rules of victory ceremonies, mixing local folk melodies with symphonic swagger.
A Symphony of Cultures
Imagine: a children’s choir harmonizing with pipa plucks and bamboo flute trills, then BOOM—the orchestra erupts into a brass-powered finale. 🎺💥 This four-minute banger layers Chengdu’s classic folk tune ‘The Sun Comes Out Delightfully Bright’ with guzheng zithers, konghou harps, and enough cross-cultural energy to power a K-pop collab. 🌏🎼
More Than Just Music
Luo, who previously composed the UN’s ‘Ode to Peace’, told CGTN this anthem is Chengdu’s ‘sonic business card’ to the world. 🎟️💬 With 11 days of medal ceremonies set to this track, athletes might just start doing TikTok dances to the beat. 💃🏅
Psst… The full track’s dropping online soon—consider this your VIP backstage pass. 🎧🔥
