The works made by the Yi people reflect their spirituality and talent for music. They flow with the simple beauty that is unique to folk songs, and have many voices.

"Knowing There Are Tigers in the Mountains" is filled with electronic sounds, the lyrics and melody are rather weird, and it uses many proverbs and ironies, and its perspective is quite novel; "I Want You" modifies the key unscrupulously, but is very pleasing to the ear and has a strong audible sound. sex. Qubihab's chanting style of singing is intertwined with Amu's high-pitched, stone-crackling voice, with a distinctive personality. The sad and beautiful emotions of "The Love Beggar" are astonishing to the ears. The structure is neatly arranged, the layers are rich, and the singing performance is close to the ideal state. Others such as "Let Me Come In" are very typical Yi-flavored fast songs; "Too Late" is also a pop song with great potential, with a very poignant artistic conception; "Ancient Condor", "Wind and Rain? Thunder and Lightning? Nuosu" It is a work in the mythological genre, with modern and avant-garde production, breaking through the limitations of similar works in the past, and the lyrics are very particular; even "Homesickness", a work that seems very ordinary in the album, has a sense of music, and the singer's singing His sincere feelings have no worldly pretensions and are so simple that it shocks the soul.

"Made by Yi People II"
< p>Fly your dreams——〖"Made by Yi People II"〗In September 2001, in the golden autumn season of harvest, "Made by Yi People II" was presented to the world with a fresh music style. Judging from the mental journey of the Yi people, their careers were on the right track during this period and they were full of beautiful longings for the future. Therefore, the main tone of the entire album is full of romantic idealism.
The title song of the album - "The Mistress of the Thatched House" is a story with a fantasy color, filled with yearning for an innocent and simple life and love. Between the mountains and the dense forest, there is a simple thatched house, a virtuous, beautiful and loyal hostess, a primitive and simple life, what a fascinating and beautiful picture it is! "The sky becomes bluer after the rainbow, and you walk into the beautiful thatched house in the mountains." "I don't want to wake up from a dream, because it is too beautiful and I don't want to wake up." If this is an ideal dream, then "Beautiful Goddess" It was directly born out of a strange dream of Habu. The lyrics are muttered to himself, and the music is strange and beautiful, full of psychedelic colors.
Dream is a mysterious world for the Yi people. It is a tunnel that leads the Yi people to cross the barriers of time and space and lead to the past and future. For thousands of years, the Yi people have used dreams to foresee the future and predict good and bad luck. In villages that are closer to primitiveness, the manifestation of this instinct is closer to accuracy. This almost supernatural quality is hidden in the vast majority of the Yi people.
At the same time, in a city alienated by commercial materials, dreams are often a peaceful spiritual harbor. The beating bonfire, the fragrant spirits, and the beautiful love songs are all elements that build the spiritual home in dreams, and they have also become the concrete embodiment of creation.
Their music style during this period was bouncing, freewheeling and aesthetically sincere. As Habu said: "As long as we can think about it for a day, our style will continue to change. If one day, someone says that a certain song is a style made by the Yi people, it means that we have been fixed, and it will be difficult to have new ones. Breakthroughs and progress have been made.
"Mom"
Unlimited family affection - "Mom"
In January 2003, "Mom" with a strong sense of family affection. "Made by Yi People III" was released. So far, Made by Yi People has maintained the record of releasing a new album every year for three consecutive years, which is rare in the domestic music scene. What's more worth mentioning is that three albums have been released. The sales volume is not bad.
The title song "Mom" of this album touched the hearts of all wanderers with the warmth of maternal love. The song spread all over the country in an instant and became the most requested song at that time. This song still tops the list of on-demand songs every Mother's Day. Just imagine, among us who are busy in the world, we don't want to enjoy family happiness with our mother at home, but for the sake of distant dreams and in order not to disappoint our mother, we must temporarily give up. Family love is far away, but mother will always be the beacon of light in the dark night. The eternal theme, unique expression, and beautiful melody touched the most sensitive nerves of the listener and aroused widespread excitement.
In artistic creation, sometimes it is difficult to achieve the desired results, and sometimes unintentional inspiration turns into an immortal work. "Mama" was a good work created by accident. At a small gathering, Habu picked up the guitar. I hummed it casually, and my friends found it very pleasant, so they recorded it and filled in the lyrics. The arrangement of "Mother" is also very elegant, using only three pianos, a tambourine and a maracas to synthesize "Mama". The image of the mother in the MTV music video is played by Habu and Hari's mother. The beautiful and kind image is real and touching. "I am old and I am old", Yi people have mentioned this song countless times. It is dedicated to all the mothers in the world. But the emotional source of his creation is his mother's infinite love for them. No matter whether they succeed or fail, whether they are poor or rich, their mother silently supports them. , their mother is the person they care about most and the destination of their family ties.
《Seeing》
The pursuit of perfection——〖《Seeing》〗
After two years of preparation, and amid people's enthusiastic expectations, the fourth album of Yi Ren Production has finally been released. If the first album of Yi Ren Production was a bit wild and country folk, the second album is avant-garde and rock alternative. The third album has a simple style and returns to nature; the fourth album is full of pictures, pursues aesthetic style, and pays more attention to the beauty of the melody. Each album has many remarkable features, and there are several songs that are full of vitality and many songs. The works that can be passed down in the future are wild-avant-garde-simple-aesthetic, which not only reflects the changing trajectory of the Yi people's production style, but also a portrayal of their mental journey.
We are waiting here. In the past two years, the Yi people's enthusiasm for music and understanding of life have increased day by day. They have been looking for their most ideal musical state. The new album with "Beautiful Girl" as the title song provides a sonorous and powerful answer to this question. The understanding and interpretation of the emotions of different people in different eras have never stopped, and art forms surrounding this theme emerge in endlessly. The song "Beautiful Girl" is full of the most sincere feelings created by the Yi people, and composes a chapter full of melancholy and sadness. It is undoubtedly a beautiful flower that interprets the eternal theme from a new perspective. It sounds not only unconventional, but also very listenable, which is not easy to do. From the songs produced by the Yi people, we can clearly feel the most genuine and original sincerity and simplicity from deep within. There has been a significant improvement in the arrangement of music. The style of music is majestic and majestic, with the shock of kingly style, and it also has the graceful and lyrical beauty. Coupled with the exotic style of Morin Qin, it aptly expresses that kind of music. Suffocating desolation and sadness. In terms of singing, the Yi people have inherited the original harmonious advantages and brought the harmonious advantages to the extreme in the new songs.
It can be said that the fourth album is a milestone for the creation and development of Yi music to enter a mature stage.
Every song in the album is like a beautiful painting, which not only gives people an auditory impact, but is also a visual enjoyment. For example, "Seeing It" depicts a peaceful, harmonious and beautiful worldly scene of white doves flying and children playing freely. There is painting in the song, and there is song in the painting. They complement each other and are so beautiful. On the one hand, this is the aesthetic artistic orientation pursued by the Yi people in manufacturing, and it is also a new realm of creation; on the other hand, it is not unrelated to Habu’s art professional background. He uses the pictures and colors in paintings to show the creator’s feelings and artistic conception.
Real art must pay attention to the warmth and warmth of the world, the real society, and reflect the main theme of the times. This is a quality that all responsible art creators must possess, and it is also the key to giving art vitality. Different from the first three albums, the new album is closer to and pays attention to social existence. In addition to beautiful and beautiful works such as "Beautiful Girl", "Ah Niu" and "Love Song" that interpret the emotional world with a peaceful mind, "Seeing" "The importance of" in this album cannot be underestimated, and can be interpreted as a charity song aimed at begging for peace and protecting a beautiful homeland; "Baby in the Mountain" reflects the aspirations and dreams of children in impoverished mountainous areas. It is in line with the public welfare undertakings they have always been enthusiastic about, focusing on and helping out-of-school children go to school. During the Torch Festival in July 2003, they performed a charity performance in Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, and donated 130,000 yuan to set up a "Yi People Make Hope Primary School" there. CCTV-3's "World of Love" program team expressed this Conducted full follow-up reporting. Now they are also long-term donors of the "Weiming Scholarship and Bursary" every year. Together with their friends, they sponsor 90 students in ethnic minority areas in Yunnan every year. If the consciousness of return runs through the Yi people's manufacturing creation, this is a return of social responsibility.
The new album has some eye-catching highlights. First, the Yi people have added a new member—Munai. Easily stimulating the listener's emotions, coupled with the original bel canto singing skills, it can be said to be the icing on the cake for the Yi people. Second, the famous musician Zheng Jun serves as the producer of this album. Therefore, when experiencing the new album, you can also feel the rock enthusiasm and strong rhythm of Zheng Jun's music. These diversified factors will definitely make the music produced by the Yi people more popular. The flowers are waiting to bloom in this season.
"Return"
After four years of careful creation, Yi People has brought us an album called "Return", a veritable return of our favorite sounds of nature. Sound group Yi Made is back.
The elements used in the album design are oil paintings that reflect the life of the Yi people. All oil paintings were painted by Habu, a member of the Yi manufacturing group. Four of the songs are joined by the famous folk singer and national first-class actor Qu Biawu.
This time, Yi people put aside their wild attitude, complicated techniques and harmonies. This time, they want to return to the bright sky in the south, to the fresh and moist air of their hometown, and to the cradle of pastoral songs and love songs in their memories.
This is an unusual return. The times are carrying the tide of people rushing towards the future. And the sensitive mind cannot follow the old fashion in an instant. Who should the singer sing to? What should he sing? Obviously, Yi people have found their own answer. They found their own direction with simple, smooth and soulful singing. In the fashionable city, this is obviously an alternative gesture and an unusual return journey. ?
Perhaps none of these are important. What is important is that when time forgets today’s hustle and bustle, Yi people must have the courage to say: Our squandered youth is left in these melodies.
