Description of Our Community: The area where we conducted our research is Sin-hua Township. Sin-hua Township, in the southern part of Taiwan, used to be called “Tavokan,” in local Language, which means “the land of woods and hills.” It’s not only a place teeming with spectacular natural scenery, but also a place full of interesting cultures,including the magnificent Baroque structures, literature museums full of cultural atmosphere, tranquil natural hills……., etc. What makes here so abundant is not just the past history; now, there are also a group of music lovers who are mixing the touching tones with their lives—by playing the mandolin, they socialize with people. They constantly join the cultural activities in the community, hold concerts arousing the public to pay more attention to inferiors, and express their love and warmness through the music, all of which produce a harmonious atmosphere for the whole community. This is the Lo-Ui Mandolin Band we are going to introduce.
Project Description: Each string on the mandolin touches people’s heart, one after another. A group of music lovers write down their music stories belonging only to Sin-hua. At the very beginning, they just wanted those mentally or physically-challenged people to get an opportunity to develop themselves in a different way. Gradually, more and more local music lovers joined in, which ended up creating the colorful band. This is the musical record, originating from the Lo-Ui Mandolin Band--a band which communicates through music, cares about lives, and connects people’s affections in the community.
