TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Amis Music Festival resumed its melodious celebrations on Oct. 8-9 in Taitung after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
Amis performers took to the stage to belt out their songs and sway to the beat, while the crowds below basked in the energetic music. Under the scorching sun, festival-goers shared their enthusiasm, with many recording the performances on their phones.
In addition to local tourists, international visitors were also spotted enjoying the music and cultural displays. The two-day event attracted hundreds of spectators, a fact that did not go unnoticed by festival founder Suming Rupi.
Rupi expressed his gratitude, saying, "During our hiatus, a lot of people inquired about the event, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we couldn't resume festivities."
"I hope that through these performances, the audience can better understand the plight of indigenous peoples," he added. "Behind every show, there are some issues and topics that we touch on."
The unique music festival, centered around Taiwan's indigenous peoples, broke through cultural barriers, sparking conversations and deeper connections. Founded in 2013, the festival continues to thrive, with the gathering of more than 30 tribes and three stages built this year to feature well-known singers.
With an outdoor cinema and a local bazaar featuring indigenous artworks, food, and clothing, visitors enjoyed a fun and fulfilling trip at the music festival.
