From Leslie Cheung to Nicholas Tse, Cantopop's Canadian connections revealed in exhibition
Most people in Hong Kong who grew up in the 1980s and '90s would have listened to some measure of Cantopop, but they were not the only ones to do so – the Cantopop stars of that time had fans all over the world. A new exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver, Canada, highlights how migration played a major role in the far-reaching influence of these stars – some of whom also sang in Mandarin. 'We actually have a whole list of 100 singers who have some kind of Canadian tie,' said museum CEO Melissa Karmen Lee at the launch of 'Dream Factory: Cantopop Mandopop 1980s-2000'. The exhibition examines how these stars, as well as other generations of Asian singers, continue to influence Chinese immigrants and their descendants in Canada through music and fashion.
