Adjust font size:

Kimbo Hu, Taiwan aboriginal singer and legendary blues artist, together with Taiwan folk music group Wild Fire staged a concert at the Centennial Hall of Peking University on Tuesday night.

Dubbed "Sing the Songs of My Own", the concert tour was launched by Wild Fire in colleges both in the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.

Wild Fire is the first opportunity to promote Taiwan's aboriginal music in Chinese mainland universities.

Besides Kimbo Hu, other folk singers from Wild Fire, including Chen Yonglong, Xiaomei and Lu Jiexing, presented their best performances to Peking University students Tuesday night.

Souvenirs like magazines, CDs and T-shirts were given out to audience members.

The tour kicked off in the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan last month, which also marked the 30th anniversary of the death of Taiwan folk music pioneer Li Shuangze.

Later this month -- on May 27 and May 30 -- Kimbo Hu and Wild Fire will take their guitars to perform in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
