Taiwanese Aboriginal Music: Wild Fire by Samingad


Let’s expand the kind of songs we usually upload here and listen to this song by Samingad, a Taiwanese aboriginal singer of the Puyuma tribe. According to youtube commenters, the English title of this song is “Wild Fire”.

Samingad is reportedly more famous in Japan than in her native Taiwan. You can read more about her here.

Does anyone of you know any Samingad in the Cordillera? It sounds like an Igorot/iCordillera name doesn’t it? Maybe they’re related to this singer, baka 56th degree cousin sila?

It would have been nice if the video shows us some Taiwan aborigines but the road footage is good too and fits the music quite nicely. The road kinda looks like Halsema if Halsema is paved.
