The Love Song Prince and Princess selection finals, 2016 Kangding Love Song International Music Festival, took place recently. After several rounds of competition, Zsedrup and Salang Hamo respectively won the prize for Love Song Prince and Princess.  

 According to reports, auditions were held online. And then, ten outstanding singers were selected from a host of talent. The team of judges, each with different folk styles, awarded points to the contestants based on their overall strength.

Finally, a Love Song Prince and Princess were chosen to go to the main event, where they will sing on same stage alongside Qi Qin, Zheng Jun and other singers.  Zezhou’s song “I only want to be with you” used moving sounds and deep feeling to win over the judges and audience. Salang Hamo’s “Beautiful baby” earned high praise from the judges for its rich ethnic characteristics, light melodies and wonderful singing.   

In recent years Kangding has vigorously unearthed and protected the traditional culture of loves songs. Through audio and video recording, collecting and collating and other methods, it has effectively protected and passed on ethnic culture, leaving Kangding with a valuable spiritual and cultural wealth.
