Abstract:
In China, there have been hazy and unsteady creative attempts, incipient interactions and interruptions, generational changes and exchanges, and ideological shifts which have marked the evolution of popular music. Based on a historical-analytical approach, this article reports on a study that aimed to recollect and explore the remarkable socio-political developments, transformations and perceptions that have consistently underpinned these years of popular music practices/experiences. In part, the methodology relied on the oral accounts of some elderly and middle-aged popular music artists, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and analysts, as well as archival resources (print and audio-visual), and the extant literature on popular music in and social history. The findings also revealed transnational heritages and memorial continuities that partly and presently characterise these periods.
