    从大凉山深处的普格县大槽乡中心小学,到中央音乐学院,歌声是妞妞们的“翅膀”,载着她们一步步实现着梦想。

    From the elementary school in Daliangshan, to the Central Conservatory of Music, singing has become the "wings" of the Niuniu Choir, carrying them towards their dreams.

    妞妞去了最向往的地方

    “梦想实现了。”5月31日,妞妞合唱团的发起人兼领队吉布小龙在社交平台发了这样一句话,配图是中央音乐学院的大门。

    "The dream has come true." On May 31st, Jibu Xiaolong, the founder and leader of the Niuniu Choir, posted these words on his social media along with a picture of the gate of the Central Conservatory of Music.

    接到邀请函是5月6日,吉布小龙和妞妞合唱团将作为嘉宾,参加第五届中央音乐学院5·23艺术节。

    6月1日,“六一给妞妞最好的礼物”,就是吉布小龙带着21名“小妞妞”来到了北京。孩子们穿着漂亮的彝族服饰,迈着整齐的步伐,来到人民英雄纪念碑前庄严敬礼。

    On June 1st, as "the best gift for Niuniu on Children's Day," Jibu Xiaolong brought 21 "little Niuniu" to Beijing. The children wore beautiful Yi ethnic costumes, stoodsolemnly in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes.

    唱着《勇敢的妞妞》

    登上中央音乐学院的舞台

    中央音乐学院“5·23”艺术节至今已成功举办四届,以高度的思想性、艺术性和全方位的引领性在全社会取得重大反响。

    The Central Conservatory of Music "5·23" Art Festival has been successfully held for four editions and has achieved significant impact on society with its high level of ideological, artistic, and all-round leadership.

    6月1日晚,21名“妞妞”站上了中央音乐学院的舞台,在热烈的掌声中,唱起了《勇敢的妞妞》。

    On the evening of June 1st, the 21 "Niuniu" sang "Brave Niuniu"on the stage of the Central Conservatory of Music.

    “父母不会永远陪在我身边,我能洗衣做饭,自力更生……爸爸妈妈不要担心,我是勇敢的妞妞。”这首歌是吉布小龙特意为“妞妞”创作的一首歌曲。

    "Dad and Mom, don't worry, I am brave Niuniu..." This song was specially created by Jibu Xiaolong for the "Niuniu" choir.

    用吉布小龙的话说,“《勇敢的妞妞》不仅是一首歌,更重要的,是农村孩子对生活的希望。”

    In Jibu Xiaolong's words, "'Brave Niuniu' is not just a song, but more importantly, it represents the rural children's hope for life."

    音乐之于“妞妞们”

    是梦想也是希望

    凉山州是中国最大的彝族聚居区,也是一片流淌着诗歌和音乐的土地。

    Liangshan Prefecture is the largest Yi ethnic settlement area in China and a land ofpoetry and music.

    时间回到2018年,结束“北漂”回到普格县的吉布小龙,在大槽乡中心小学与另一位音乐老师阿吾优发成立了一支合唱队,成员是学校里的小女孩。因当地总是将未成年女孩称为“妞妞”,合唱团遂取名妞妞合唱团。

    In2018 when Jibu Xiaolong, after finishing his "Beijing drift" and returning to Puge County, co-founded a choir with another music teacher, Awu Youfa, consisting of girls from the central elementary school in Dacao Township. Since the local area often refers to underage girls as "Niuniu," the choir was named the Niuniu Choir.

    5年来,妞妞合唱团从最初的4人小团队,成长为如今的41位团员。

    In the past five years, the Niuniu Choir has grown from an initial four-member small group to the current 41 members.

    《下雨啦》是吉布小龙给妞妞们创作的第一首作品。这是一首直接用汉语创作的歌曲,当地经常下雨,而在歌词里,一切新鲜的事物仿佛都在等待着雨水的降临。“我希望这样的儿歌,可以带给合唱团的妞妞们更多快乐,给她们的童年留下美好记忆。”

    "Rain is Falling" was the first song created by Jibu Xiaolong for the Niuniu Choir. It is a song directly created in Chinese, and in the lyrics, everything fresh seems to be waiting for the rain to come. "I hope this kind of children's song can bring more joy to the Niuniu Choir and leave them with beautiful memories of their childhood."

    从《下雨啦》开始,“妞妞”成了吉布小龙主要的创作源泉。《蒲公英》《童谣》《等待妈妈》《勇敢的妞妞》等,歌曲的主角都是“妞妞们”。

    Starting from "Rain is Falling," "Niuniu" has become themain source of inspiration for Jibu Xiaolong's creations. "Dandelion," "Children's Song," "Waiting for Mom," "Brave Niuniu," and others songs all revolve around the "Niuniu" girls.

    “就是从孩子的视角出发,她们虽然身处大山,但不被大山阻隔。”吉布小龙表示,音乐之于“妞妞们”,是梦想也是希望,“音乐就像是孩子们的翅膀,可以带着她们飞向更远的地方。”

    "It’s from the perspective of children. Although they are in the mountains, they are not blocked by the mountains." Jibu Xiaolong said that music representa dream and hope for the "Niuniu" girls. "Music is like wings for children, carryingthem to farther places."
