Music recommendations
Hello everybody! Im planning to start exploring the world of contemporary China. I am quite tired of the western narrative that everything China related is bad, so i wanted to form my own opinion through exploration(in general i just want to enrich myself as a person). I have downloaded red note, i play some hoyo games but apart from that i find it hard to get in touch with chinese culture primarily because of the online firewall that makes it hard to access chinese media.
Music for me has always been a force that pushes me forward to get a deeper understanding of a nations way of life and language. For example, two years ago i discovered japanese city pop, jazz fusion and j-pop and that pushed me to start studying japanese. Because of the cultural revolution however it appears that the chinese music scene didnt develop a strong jazz fusion scene and so far the only artists representing that genre were from Taiwan(they are amazing but im looking for someone from the mainland).
So do you guys have any recommendations? Any type of artist would be good to be heard but as i stated above i do have a preference for jazz fusion and j-pop(i would be interested to hear the chinese equivalent of j-pop). I know that Spotify is banned in China so where can i discover these artists? Thank you for your help and recommendations in advance.
