"Super Band" is a temporary project involving four of the biggest Mandopop and Cantopop stars of the 80s and 90s: Jonathan Lee, Wakin Chou, Lo Ta Yu and A-Yue. The four musical heavyweights staged the Beijing gig of their Asian tour over the weekend.
They're all from Taiwan and all in their fifties, forties and thirties respectively. They include veteran composer Jonathan Lee, the godfather of Chinese pop, Lo Ta Yu, veteran pop singer Wakin Chou, and singer and songwriter, A-Yue. Together, they not only have the combined oldest average age of any Chinese pop band, but also unparalleled influence over the music scene.
"Super Band" made a spectacular entrance into the pop scene last year. Lo said the idea for the band came during a dinner, but it took three years to finally realize it. With their own specialities, the four members represent different musical styles from the pop scene for the past thirty years.
