Sala

Afterquake: "Sala" Video from Sexy Beijing TV on Vimeo.. You will like it, I promise.

"Sala" is a traditional Qiang minority song, but all the kids in Wenchuan seem to know it be they Han, Qiang or other minorities. They also all seem to know the dance. The kids called it a guo zhuang song (ι”…εΊ„) which means that you dance around a fire while singing it. The vocals are by the girl in the video named Luo Shuang (η½—ιœœ), a 14 year old first year middle school student from Wenchuan County. She is Han ethnicity. Her mother appears at the end of the video, on the site where they are rebuilding their house, which was destroyed in the earthquake.
