香港樂壇近年再次「焫著」聽眾。有人認為「樂壇已死」，亦有人要帶廣東歌「衝出香港」。港式流行曲響遍全球，卻不是近年獨有現象。五六十年代的粵語電影歌曲、七八十年代的「煇黃盛世」、九十年代的「四大天王」等浪潮亦曾帶着香港流行文化跨越國界，為各地華人所熟悉。是次沙龍將率領聽眾進入歷史舞台，重溫廣東歌的「溫度、速度、溫柔和憤怒」，並探討流行音樂如何將香港的不同面貌呈現給世界各地華人社區。

Hong Kong’s pop music scene has recently ‘ignited’ the interest of its audience. Some believe that Hong Kong’s music scene has ‘died’, while others hope to bring Cantopop beyond the city. Hong Kong’s popular music has resounded all over the world, but this is not unique to the present day. Cantonese film songs of the 1950s-60s, the ‘golden age’ of composer Joseph Koo and lyricist James Wong of the 1970s-80s, the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ of the 1990s and so on have all enabled Hong Kong’s popular music to go beyond borders and touch Chinese communities overseas. This History Salon will invite our audience to partake in the historical stage, revisit emotions embedded in Cantopop, and investigate how the songs presented different facades of Hong Kong to Chinese communities around the world.
