TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan, Turkish TV show host Ugur Rifat Karlova, better known as Wu Feng (吳鳳), and Canadian rapper Dallas Waldie, who goes by the stage name Dallas Waldo (阿龍), today (Aug. 17) released a music video titled “Taiwan is my Home.”
Wu Feng, who on March 21 completed the process of becoming a Taiwanese citizen, said that his inspiration for the video was to not only commemorate 12 years of living in Taiwan but also to recognize “all foreigners who came here and bring their talent, passion and dreams together. Wu Feng added that foreigners who live in Taiwan respect the culture and that “we appreciate the days we spend in Taiwan and try to show people our thoughts, dreams and don’t want to be looked at as just laowai (老外, foreigners).”
Waldo, who has lived in Taiwan for six years and has rapped for 10 years, says that Wu Feng contacted him with the idea of making a music video to celebrate his time in Taiwan. Waldo specializes in rapping in Chinese and decided to use Taiwanese dialect, which he was studying at the time, for the chorus.
In the chorus, he sings “Where do you? I live in Taiwan” (你住在哪裡？我住在台灣), which is a frequent conversation he finds himself having with locals. He says he also wanted to answer the common question “Why did you come to Taiwan?” (為什麼你來台灣). [FULL STORY]
