百度娱乐讯 4月24日阿佳组合国语大碟《遇见你》新闻发布会,在北京品众国际文化交流中心举行。这也标志有着藏族第一女子组合之称的阿佳组合,携新专辑正式回归歌坛。以此为契机,相信华语歌坛继‘中国风’当道后,‘民族风’将强势回归。国际巨星成龙先生携弟子新七小福到场表示祝贺,著名歌手杨坤也百忙之中到场站台。阿佳组合的圈中好友才旦卓玛老师、谭维维、蒲巴甲、扎西顿珠等也来为她们送上祝福VCR。

  《藏家女孩》藏语开场

  这次发布会开场,弃用了主持人现行开场的惯例,而选择由阿佳组合直接上台开唱新专辑中的歌曲《藏家女孩》。不仅如此,《藏家女孩》还是以藏语演唱。这样的开场可谓是别出心裁。随着前奏的开始,阿佳组合极富藏族特色声音在现场响起。她们用属于她们所特有的音乐,告诉所有热爱民族音乐的人们:“我们回来了,带着一份对音乐的执着!”

  随着副歌的进入,阿佳们的演绎也渐入佳境。台下的各位媒体记者都常年参加各唱片公司的发布会,可谓是业内资深人士。阿佳组合放弃各位媒体所熟悉的汉语,选择藏语对阿佳们来说其实是增加了难度。因为如果选择演绎汉语,歌词的部分就会为旋律增加分数,更容易烘托歌曲的氛围。阿佳这次在发布会开场演绎藏语,就是为了让在座的各位媒体和嘉宾,抛开歌词的渲染,更注意在她们的音乐的品质。尽管唱的是藏语,但是台下还是不少媒体朋友随着音乐的节奏轻轻点头。同为中国人,同为华夏儿女,那种血脉相通,民族连心的默契通过音乐表现的淋漓尽致。很多媒体对阿佳的歌艺也表示赞赏。

  成长VCR 展现三位“格桑花”

  这张新专辑《遇见你》从收歌、录制、拍摄MV、发行到今天的发布会,前后经历了近三年的时间,可谓是精雕细琢。其中的困难与辛苦只有阿佳们自己知道。一首歌罢,阿佳组合感慨良多。主办方还特别准备了成长VCR,邀请阿佳及在场的各位媒体及嘉宾共同回顾阿佳组合成军时,那青涩的模样。VCR一点一滴的展现了三位“格桑花”——阿佳组合蜕变的美丽。

  通过成长VCR,让莅临发布会的所有人一起回顾并回忆起阿佳组合的青涩模样,这一路以来,阿佳的成长,在每个阶段都有令人惊喜的地方。而后阿佳组合带来了新专辑中主打歌《遇见你》。《遇见你》旋律朗朗上口,歌词坦白真诚。阿佳们感叹道:“其实我们觉得《遇见你》不光是对错失爱情的一次痛彻心扉的追悔,也是对很多美好情感的反思。人和人之间是有奇妙的缘份。遇见你可能是爱情,遇见你可以是友情,遇见你还可以是亲情,像妈妈和孩子之间也是一种生命的遇见。而今天和各位媒体与嘉宾不也是机缘巧合的“遇见”吗?”

  “三色环在行动”正式启动

  阿佳组合一直致力于环保事业,正是因为她们来自于近乎零污染的雪域高原,置身于都市中的阿佳,面对渐渐消失的绿色,濒临灭绝的生灵,面对浑浊的空气,阿佳更为迫切的希望,每一寸土地,每一座城市都能拥有与他们的家乡一样清新的空气,蔚蓝的天空。

  在发布会进场时,每位到场嘉宾及媒体都领到了一个三色环。这三色环是由白、蓝、绿三个颜色组成的。白色代表的是空气和水,这是生命赖以生存的重要元素。蓝色代表蔚蓝的大海以及湛蓝的天空。绿色的含义其实就是寓意着生命。只是简单的两个字生命,但却因为地球孕育了生命,才有了现在我们和我们所看到的一切。这个活动旨在保护共有的地球,以此为契机,开展一系列的环保活动。

  众明星相应环保齐宣言

  阿佳组合在圈内人缘非常好,很多艺人都响应阿佳组合的号召,与阿佳们一起为环保事业努力着,才旦卓玛老师、谭维维、蒲巴甲、扎西顿珠等明星都录制了环保宣言,其中,尤其值得一提的是《北京金山上》的原唱者才旦卓玛老师尽管年事已高,但闻听阿佳组合发片,第一时间录制了祝贺VCR,让阿佳感动不已。

  随着阿佳组合一声天籁般藏语高音,所有的聚光灯都凝聚在一个人身上,他就是国际巨星成龙先生。这次成龙先生百忙之中携新七小福莅临本次发布会,为阿佳组合站台加油。为了祝贺阿佳组合发片,成龙先生亲自为阿佳组合准备了小树苗作为礼物。问及成龙大哥为什么送小树苗时,大哥表示一棵孕育希望的小苗,犹如阿佳们一样,希望她们茁壮成长。同时小树苗象征着绿色的希望,象征环保之路任重道远,希望大家可以一起保护地球母亲。成龙大哥将小树苗植入泥土中,阿佳组合浇灌上纳木错珍贵的高山圣水。

  特别值得一提的是,发布会中成龙大哥坦言并“不喜欢”阿佳组合,只喜欢阿佳的歌。让在场的所有人都非常不解。大哥解释到:“这么说虽是玩笑,但也是因为担心狗仔队不实的报道,写出莫名奇妙与阿佳的绯闻。”大哥也在发布会现场谈及去青海玉树灾区及去云南旱区慰问的情况。非常高兴的是,大哥正准备离开云南时,天公作美,在经历了200多天的干旱后,云南终于下雨了。大哥笑谈:“如果真的去到哪里都能带来雨,那我就不做别的事情了,到处去降雨了。”而后成龙大哥和阿佳组合一起演唱了新专辑中的歌曲《呼唤》。《呼唤》也是4月22日“世界地球日”献礼之歌。随着大哥和阿佳的歌声,整场发布会推向了高潮。
