Event Details





Every year, the Hello Taiwan concert showcases top Taiwanese musical talent to the community. This year, we’re excited to hear from two very special Taiwanese groups as well as a local band that’s already making waves in the music scene. Even better, our Taiwanese Food Bazaar will feature delectable and authentic Taiwanese dishes that you can’t find anywhere else. All proceeds from the event will go to Taiwan’s “Sunshine Social Welfare Foundation.” Good food, good music, and a good cause - what else could you ask for?

The Chairman/董事長樂團
The band has dominated the Taiwan music industry for years. They formed in 1997 and since then, they have released 10 albums and received numerous awards. The Chairman is famed for its particular Taiwanese local rock style, mixing Taiwanese traditional culture and brand new elements.

Pig Head Skin/豬頭皮
Yueh-hsin Chu, better known as Pig Head Skin, has been an icon in Taiwan's music scene since his ground-breaking sampling-rich album Funny Rap (1994). Many found his satirical lyrics about Taiwanese society hilarious while some found them shocking. Since 2001, Chu has led the band Jesus Rocks! with members of the Youth Ministry Committee of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan.

9m88 (Joanne Baba)小芭
Born in Taipei in 90's. She has always been in love with R&B/Hip-hop/Jazz. She came to NY last year as an intern and accidentally performed in Spike Hill that led to her return back to New York. This year she came back as a student of Jazz and will be opening up the concert with DJ Tou Tou, who is also from Taiwan.

5PM-7PM Small Eats Bazaar (Free Admission)
7PM - Concert ($10 Admission with 1 Drink [Beer or Soda]. Food Sales continue)

第六屆「喂!台灣」(Hello Taiwan)演唱會本次邀請到最台灣的本土搖滾樂團「董事長」(The Chairman)演出。「董事長樂團」堅持本土創作,足跡遍及臺灣各大音樂季,對於社會公共議題的參與也不遺餘立。七次入圍金曲獎獲得年度最佳搖滾樂團的他們,這次在北美地區巡迴,也將參與紐約CMJ音樂祭。

此外,台大畢業,曾出版製作音樂專輯數十張的金曲獎台語歌王「豬頭皮」會在本次的演唱會演出。非常另類的他,不但演電影、寫電影主題曲配樂廣告音樂等等,還主持電視電台還組成福音搖滾樂團【搖滾主耶穌】,協助各教會音樂事工,特重弱勢、政治、社會關懷。

9m88 (Joanne Baba),90後台北人,去年以服裝實習生的角色來到紐約,偶然做了場暖場演出,抱著對音樂的決心回到台北。經過各種劇場、舞者、錄音室的合作經驗後,以爵士歌手主修的留學生身份回歸紐約。她即將與同樣來自台灣的DJ Tou Tou為「喂!台灣」演唱會開場。
