Indigenous singers from Chinese Taiwan premiered in Shanghai last night, highlighting an Olympic-themed public good concert.

 

Themed "singing the Olympics aloud, imaging the future of the Chinese", the concert was featured by Taiwanese Amis people's group Ma-Lan Choir, as well as superstars including Harlem Yu, Winnie Hsin and Fan Wei Chi.

 

Some short-listed songs for the Beijing Olympic theme songs, such as "China, World," were well received by music fans.

 

Aiming at facilitating the solicitation and promotion of the Beijing Olympic theme song and wide-spreading the Olympic spirit among the Chinese, more concerts are expected to be staged in the mainland ahead of the 29th Olympiad which opens on 8 August 2008.
