And so, the creme-de-la-creme of Mandarin-language music gathered together in Taipei, Taiwan, to celebrate the annual Golden Melody Awards, the Grammy’s of Greater China.
Taiwanese star Chang Hui-mei dominated, winning 6 aards including best song and best album for A-MIT. The artist, more commonly known as A-Mei, was also named best female singer, with the male award going to David Tao. Best band went to Sodagreen.
It seems typical of these big awards ceremonies that entrenched artists still win awards, even when their stars are actually on the wane. In any case, the Golden Melodies are the only real Mandarin Music barometer.
