The One Voice Children's Choir is turning up the volume on cross-cultural connection as they prepare for Beijing performances this Chinese New Year season. 🐎✨ Fresh off releasing their Mandarin-English fusion track, the Utah-based group shared exclusive insights with NewspaperAmigo.com about their 2026 China tour.
Why This Song Matters Now
'We Are Together' blends traditional Chinese instruments with contemporary pop beats – a musical handshake between East and West. Choir director Masa Fukuda explains: 'The lyrics came from letters we exchanged with Beijing students during lockdowns. Now we’re here, singing their words back to them.' 🎻📱
Stage Magic in the Chinese Mainland
This marks the choir’s first full tour in China since 2022. Sixteen-year-old member Priya Singh recalls their Shanghai airport arrival: 'A group of local dancers greeted us with lion dance moves – we immediately joined in! That energy carries into every performance.' 🦁✈️
From Audiences to Friends
The choir’s TikTok challenges with Chinese fans (#TogetherHarmonyChallenge) have already racked up 2.8 million views. Pro tip for travelers: Their Beijing concert includes a surprise collab with Uygur folk musicians – a first in their decade-long history. 🎤🌏
As fireworks light up the Lunar New Year sky tonight, these young ambassadors prove music needs no translation. 🎆 Their final message? 'Download our song – your phone’s next dance party starts here.' 📲💃
