(本報記者黃偉江三藩市報道)
夏威夷搖曳多姿的土風舞;虎 們揮動雞毛掃,虎虎生威;來自屋崙的知名說唱歌手激情演繹;柔功門新生代刀光劍影拳腳棍棒,自古英雄出少年;鄧麗君的旋律,演繹夜上海風情萬種。精彩紛呈的演出,表達這次藝術行動「與亞裔一起」的主題,也給將進入經濟重啟的華埠帶來勃勃生機。
昨天下午,華埠的華鷹社與三藩市及屋崙的多個說唱樂隊,在華埠花園角廣場聯手舉辦說唱、搖滾樂、中國功夫與舞獅表演,選民登記、有獎遊戲等,共同慶祝美國亞太傳統文化月的結束。參加演出的有享譽全美的知名Paypa_boy、Chow Mane、Sawhee、Loosh & Rock Box說唱歌手與樂隊。
針對當下仇視亞裔的情況,華裔女詩人馬文蕙原創的《雞毛掃》說唱,迎發一輪高潮。11名彪悍的土著「虎 」,揮動著雞毛掃,穿插著英語和夾生粵語的說唱歌詞,嬉笑怒罵:「後生仔,你咁囂張,因住我條雞毛掃…你蝦我,我蝦番你…你唔好 度扭計仔…我係你亞婆,我係你亞 ,你地對長者 態度係最令人討厭!邊個病毒係度傳播仇恨?」
馬文蕙(Clara Hsu)表示,希望《雞毛掃》用詼諧的藝術,傳遞出一個鼓舞人心的資訊–我們不畏仇視與暴力,我們會團結起來反擊。目的是維護長者,堅決反對仇恨和暴力。她說,大媽們的演出很受歡迎,尤其是把節目自製作成短視頻在社交媒體分享,沒想到「爆紅」。她很高興透過這首說唱的影響力,阻止針對亞洲人的仇恨暴力!
馬文蕙是華埠Clarion Performing Arts Center的總監,她分享自己的創作靈感,源自最近針對亞裔長者的暴力升級,以及一位婆婆用木板反擊暴力襲擊的新聞,「雞毛掃勾起了人們的集體回憶。」她說,在亞華文化傳統習俗中,歷代人都使用它來約束不守規矩的行為。《雞毛掃》演繹,正如敲響了警鐘,即規則和尊重是保持家庭、社區和社會健康的積極因素。策劃該藝術行動的懿德(Edith)表示,邀請具影響力的非裔說唱歌手和樂隊,與華埠的社團一起演出,是要傳遞正能量,讓不同的族裔、文化進行交流,共同反擊歧視與暴力。
