Folk music – 康定情歌 (Kāngdìng qínggē) Kangding Love Song

May. 26, 2017

Today I will teach you a traditional folk song from Kangding! The song was inspired by local people’s daily work and is a very popular song in China. The Chinese lyrics are relatively simple to learn and the rhythm is much slower than other songs. It is the perfect song to learn for people who love to learn Chinese through music!
