For a full listing of events, visit The Rally For Taiwan: Music in the Soundscape of Democracy, taking place on Aug. 30 from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square (North of the Vancouver Art Gallery), is certainly a highlight. This year's lineup includes a trio of performers drawn from the diverse linguistic and cultural communities of the country. This includes performers from the Indigenous, Hakka-language speaking and activist folk group scenes. The focus this year is on artists who represent the democratic messages conveyed through music across the country throughout its varied population.

Indigenous Truku singer/songwriter Lihaw Lihang, whose upcoming album Alang mu Kbayang — Mother's Kabayan — celebrates both his mother and connections to his ancestral lands and tribal traditions. TUDI-VOICE is a folk rock group known for topical songs that explore Taiwan's contemporary social realities, sung in the Taiwanese language. The third and final act is Traego. Singing in their mother tongue, Hakka, the crew of pop-punk rockers covers everything from rage and resistance to tongue-in-cheek takes on cultural stereotypes and general youth culture ennui. The band's lead singer Allen Lai discussed songs such as Hakka Sucker and its goofy video before the band's Vancouver debut. Postmedia: What does singing in Hakka mean in the greater picture of being Taiwanese? This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Allen Lai: Hakka is the language I grew up with, so it's very natural to express things for me in Hakka. There are very few music groups that sing in Hakka, so that makes it important to us to bring it into the greater scene in Taiwan. When we started, I felt that nobody would understand anything we were saying. But there is a big acceptance and tolerance across Taiwanese culture to accept these mother tongues, such as Indigenous languages, in music. There has been some governmental programs around this and, because of music, the different groups have all got closer and people are doing their own work to learn. Q: What is the punk rock scene like in Taiwan? A: Punk is not very mainstream here and mostly made up of indie bands, with only a few that have made it onto awards shows, such as Fire EX from Kaohsiung. They also sing in non-mainstream dialects, which seems to be a thing. Punk here is less angry and focused on rage, it's more a genre that can be more passionate with room to grow. Q: Which groups would be major influences on Taiwanese punk? A: Obviously, American bands like Blink 182 and Green Day were very important. The hardcore punk side of the music has been far less reflected in Taiwanese punk. It's very exciting. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Q: The video for Hakka Sucker is funny. Why are you all playing appliances instead of instruments? A: The song and video reflects the core of the band, talking about making it big in the city even if we have nothing, and grabbing even house-cleaning objects and making the best of it. It also plays on the stereotype of Hakka people being very frugal, so it pokes fun at that and us. Q: Are you excited to be coming to Canada to perform at the Rally For Taiwan: Music in the Soundscape of Democracy events across Canada? A: Traego has always been quite attentive to the politics around mother tongue and Taiwanese identity and agree with the message of the event which recognizes the significant role that music has played in establishing and reinforcing our distinct identities. We have done some exchange with Hakka groups in China and found it very challenging since the dialects are so significantly different. sderdeyn@ Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?
