I never knew that Taiwan had it’s very own reggae style music band from Southern Taiwan! The band is named “Matzka and Dehot” and they are Aboriginal Taiwanese from the Paiwan Tribe! I found them online and noticed they were recently at Toronto Canada for the Taiwanfest 2010, a celebration of Taiwanese culture in Canada. Below is a video of one of their songs performed at the Taiwanfest 2010. Let me know what you think! I think they sing really well!

One thing I remember and love about Taiwan is the dancers in MRT (subway) stations! All over the city of Taipei in the local subway stations (MRT) there are Taiwanese boys and girls practicing their dancing moves. Most all of them are fantastic dancers. I love just sitting there, taking a break away from the city rush and watching the teens dance. Here is a video of some great Taiwanese dancers in the MRT station. Let me know what you think!

Here is another great example of Taiwanese Talent. This video I found shows 曾弘傑 (Ceng Hong-Jie) who placed 2nd in the first division of the 2010 Taiwan Yo-Yo contest. Yo-Yo competitions are becoming more and more popular all around the world and especially in Asian countries such as can be seen here. I believe Yo-Yo can be a valuable tool in which connections between countries can be made. What are your thoughts about Yo-Yo?
