The Sound of Taiwan Campus Folk

This playlist captures the essence of Taiwan’s campus folk movement, a genre that emerged in the 1970s and blended folk, pop, and acoustic sounds with heartfelt lyrics. Featuring classics like 潘安邦’s “外婆的澎湖灣” and 李建復’s “龍的傳人,” it reflects an era when storytelling through song resonated deeply with young audiences. Tracks like 羅大佑’s “戀曲1990” and 齊秦’s “大約在冬季” bring in a touch of nostalgia, while songs such as 王夢麟’s “雨中即景” and 鄧妙華’s “牽引” showcase the emotional depth of the genre.

With a mix of acoustic-driven melodies and poetic lyrics, the playlist highlights both well-known voices like 張艾嘉 in “愛的代價” and indie-inspired duets like 鄭怡 and SKY WU’s “我和你.” Whether it’s the reflective tone of “忘了我是誰” by 王海玲 or the gentle storytelling in “如果” by 邰肇玫 and 施碧梧, each track represents a piece of Taiwan’s musical heritage. This collection is a snapshot of an era defined by melancholic ballads, cultural identity, and the timeless simplicity of guitar-driven folk.
