一带一路摇滚之歌|Lao rock song breaks down ABC of Belt & Road Initiative
“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛将于5月14日至15日在北京举行，而很多人还不了解一带一路倡议背后的大发展、小故事。也许专家学者的解释不够平易近人，那么不如听听一位老挝小哥用摇滚流行乐对一带一路的诠释。CGTN相信音乐无国界，让我们一起在电吉他的动感节奏中，走近一带一路的概念与精髓。
怎么样，够不够燃！这首歌是在中国工作6年的老挝记者维莱鹏于2016年创作，庆祝中老建交55周年。歌曲由老挝著名摇滚乐队主唱阿提萨·拉达那冯演唱。
What exactly is the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative? While economists and policy experts around the world are trying to find fancy and strict definitions for the ambitious and extensive global project, one journalist-turned-songwriter from Laos managed to capture the essence of the Belt and Road concept in simple words and a catchy tune.
Yidaiyilu, the Chinese term for the Belt and Road Initiative, is now a trending song on Chinese social media, despite it being performed in Lao language.
"Mutual benefits and win-win results," "keeping close communication and better understanding each other," and "enhancing connectivity across nations" are some of the lyrics of the rock song, which finishes off with some serious loud guitar play.
Vilayphone Vongphachanh, who has been in China for about six years, is the man behind the song and said the inspiration came from his knowledge about the Belt and Road Initiative through his work. He works as a host and program editor in the Lao service at China Radio International.
The song was completed in 2016 to mark the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Laos, but recently came under the radar of netizens after a music video was produced.
The 52-year-old man pointed out in an interview with China Daily that the construction of the railway linking southwest China's Yunnan Province and the Laotian capital Vientiane will help enhance interconnectivity between the two countries.
The music clip was released ahead of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which will be held in Beijing on May 14 and 15.
