International Folklore Festival 南瀛國際民俗文化節

Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, ‘Music is the universal language of mankind.’ So does the dance.

In Taiwan, 
Nan-Ying International Folklore Festival (NYIFF) has been the international cultural event which is hosted every two years since 1996 in Tainan city. It is a way that Taiwan opens its arms to welcome the international cultural guests and provide citizens more opportunities to enjoy exotic performances.

This October, Haiti and Marshall that have the diplomatic relations with Taiwan participated in this pop-up event, together with other 16 countries from four continents like Russia, Serbia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and the Czech Republic to show their traditional folklore dances.

To welcome these beautiful international friends, the prelude of 2018 Nan-Ying International Folklore Festival (NYIFF) started with the famous Taiwan traditional folklore art teams to give the performances. The total of international dance groups was up to 22, they were well-arranged to perform around many public places in Tainan, introducing their folklore culture by the traditional country dance, music, and  the flag team performance.

The 11th NYIFF was from Oct 6 to 14, the Mayor indicated that ‘it is not only a longest international art festival in Taiwan, but is the only one that dedicated on preserving the intangible culture and promoting the folklore art performance.’

Beyond music and dance, people love to make new friends. The city government has cooperated with the passionate local host families, communities, schools and even enterprises form every district in Tainan to receive these international guests.

This most plentiful art feast was heartily welcomed by the locals. However, the current Taiwan weather may be too hot for some international guests, especially people from Russia area! They probably felt burning and sweated a lot while performing on the outside stage as I can see they danced with their traditional furry coats! Hope they enjoyed a lot of famous Taiwanese bubble milk tea while they stayed in Taiwan.

The 2018 NYIFF has been joyously hosted between Oct 6 to 14 Oct, and during the festival period, it met the Taiwanese National Day which is right on 10 Oct. All the 16 international groups were thus invited to celebrate this big event together.

This October, let's say 'Happy Birthday to Taiwan!’

2018年南瀛國際民俗節(NYIFF
詩人和哈佛大學教授亨利沃茲沃思朗費羅說:音樂是人類的共通語言。舞蹈也是如此。在臺灣,南瀛國際民俗節(NYIFF)是自1996年以來每兩年在台南市舉辦的國際文化活動。這是台灣張開雙臂歡迎國際文化嘉賓,為市民提供更多機會享受異國情調表演的方式。

今年10月,與台灣建交的海地和馬歇爾與來自俄羅斯,塞爾維亞,新西蘭,印度尼西亞,捷克等四大洲的其他16個國家一起參加了此次流行活動,展示了他們傳統的民俗舞蹈。

為了迎接這群美麗的國際友人,2018年南瀛國際民俗節(NYIFF)的序幕由台灣著名的傳統民俗藝術團隊進行表演開展,國際舞蹈團的總數達到22個,他們被精心安排在台南的許多公共場所演出,透過傳統國家,鄉村舞蹈,音樂和旗幟表演來介紹他們的民俗文化。

11NYIFF已於106日至14日舉行完成,市長表示它不僅是台灣最長的國際藝術節慶,而且是唯一一個致力於保護非物質文化和推動民俗藝術表演的藝術節。

除了音樂和舞蹈,人們喜歡結交新朋友。市政府與熱情的當地寄宿家庭,社區,學校甚至是台南各地的企業共同合作,接待這些國際賓客。

這個最豐富的藝術盛宴總是受到當地人的熱烈歡迎。 但是,目前台灣的天氣可能對一些國際賓客來說太熱了,尤其是來自俄羅斯地區的人們! 在外面舞台表演時,他們可能會感到灼熱和出汗,因為我可以看到他們穿著傳統的毛茸茸的外套跳舞! 希望他們在停留台灣期間大大享用台灣著名的珍珠奶茶。

2018年南瀛國際民俗節在106日至1014日期間舉行了歡樂慶祝活動,在節日期間,它迎接了1010日的台灣國慶日。所有來自14個國家的國際團體因此被邀請共同慶祝這一大型慶祝活動。 
趁著光輝10月, '生日快樂!台灣!'
