Street busker arrested for singing “Do You Hear the People Sing”
Street busker Oliver Ma, of Chinese-Filipino descent, was surrounded by police officers while busking in Central on August 8. He was arrested when he sang “Do You Hear the People Sing”. Legislative Council Member, Ted Hui, said on Facebook that Oliver Ma was charged for obstructing police, and he has contacted a team of lawyers to follow up.
Oliver Ma was seen in online videos dressed in a black and white striped shirt and sang the English version of “Glory to Hong Kong” on Theater Lane, Central, while four police officers observed nearby. After a while, when Oliver Ma sang “Do You Hear the People Sing”, the other police officers moved forward to surround him and turned off his speaker. A citizen filming the incident asked the police, “What crime did he commit?” when Oliver Ma was in handcuffs.
Previously on July 28, Oliver Ma was arrested on suspicion of criminal intimidation, alleging that he argued with a 65-year-old woman on the street in Central because of noise problems. He was released on bail pending the investigation. He explained the incident on his Facebook, stating that the old woman suddenly snatched away his microphone stand while he was performing, and kicked his guitar case on the ground. Police arrested him on suspicion of criminal intimidation against the old lady, even though they did not any record voice or video evidence of him doing so. He denied having committed any crimes, believing that he was a victim of false accusations.
He suspected that his latest arrest was the police punishing him for his persistence in singing “Glory to Hong Kong”.

Swedish singer Zara Larsson ends collaboration with Huawei, says China is ‘not a nice state’ and it was ‘not the smartest deal I’ve done’
The renowned Swedish singer Zara Larsson signed a promotional deal with China’s Huawei in April 2019 to become its mobile phone spokesperson.

Japanese Hardcore Punk Band FORWARD Dedicates Song ‘ACAB’ to Hongkongers
Japanese hardcore punk band FORWARD released a music video for their song "ACAB", which stands for "All Cops Are Bastards". They included large amount of scenes of police brutality in Hong Kong pro-democracy protests.
Watch the music video:
https://youtu.be/4PQ7IoF3SAk
Featuriing members of legendary Japanese 80’s hardcore band Deathside, the band dedicated this song to Hongkongers in pursuit of freedom and democracy.
In an interview with Unite Asia on September 18, 2020, the band said,
“It was very encouraging to see Hong Kong people stand up and fight for freedom in Hong Kong. Though we in Japan might not be in the same boat as Hong Kong, we felt it very much in our hearts. Police violence is absurd and ridiculous. With the ferocity of the assault on victims every day, we felt sorry for not being able to do anything. We are also extremely upset and saddened at the arrest of Miss Agnes Chow in August, and we became more enthusiastic about the people of Hong Kong. So we thought maybe the least we can do for the people of Hong Kong is something through our music.
We dedicate this song to the people who fight against brutality, and people who believe in humanity. There must be something that can be done and impact change by connecting with humanity wholeheartedly.
We are always with you.
香港加油！”
The use of the acronym A.C.A.B can be traced as early as to 1920. In the 1980s, the British punk band The 4-skins popularized the term in their song of the same name.

US High School's Orchestra Plays “Glory to Hong Kong” in Support of Hongkongers
“Glory to Hong Kong” is one of the most representative songs in Hong Kong's Anti-Extradition Law movement.
However, after the forceful enactment of the National Security Law (#NSL),
the song was accused of violating the law by inciting the subversion of the state power, overthrowing the authority, etc.
Hongkongers have to codify the lyrics into numbers such as “5201314” to express the original lyrics that read “May glory be to Hong Kong”.
While Hongkongers are forbidden by the authorities to sing the song in public, a symphony orchestra of a high school in the U.S. performed the song “Glory to Hong Kong” in their virtual concert on YouTube. More than ten thousand people have viewed the video.
Watch the video:
https://youtu.be/JDGkKS67VS8
Mark Aubel, the music teacher of the school and the conductor of the orchestra, spoke of the most touching moment when his students said, if Hongkongers cannot sing the song anymore, then “we can play it for them [Hongkongers], Mr Aubel”.
Aubel said, "The wonderful aspect for my students and me is that we have connected with the people of Hong Kong through music." Aubel and his students didn’t expect the virtual concert to have drawb so much attention. They hoped Hongkongers could feel the warmth.

HK #Lyricist Finds #Hope in #NextGeneration: "The Worst Times Can Bring About the Best Music"
In a TV program aired in Hong Kong on April 23, 2021, the RTHK journalist interviewed critically acclaimed lyricist and scholar #ChowYiuFai about his experiences teaching lyric writing in university in the past 10 years since his return to Hong Kong.
He teaches students to practice their creative process continuously in their daily lives, in order to keep their skills and senses sharp, and not to grow desensitized in their daily routines.
He finds that his students bring him a lot of hope. "When this world has young people like them, how could I give up?"
Chow says that there are always limitations when working in creative fields. His approach to songwriting is to stay true to reality as he knows it, and write within a given premise.
He believes that the worst times can bring about the best music. "When you feel very safe, and the whole world seems at peace, it's a frighteningly apathetic state of mind to be in."

#HongKongArtsCentre Cancels Concert of Pro-democracy Singer #DeniseHo
The Hong Kong Arts Centre announced on August 31, 2021 that it has cancelled the venue booking for the concert of singer Denise Ho, an artist known for her pro-democracy stance. The Centre accused Ho and her team for "breaching a clause of the terms and conditions of hire" by allegedly creating "circumstances where public order or public safety would be endangered during the course of the performance".
Ho released a statement the next day, telling Hongkongers that she will not give up holding the concert. She announced that she will perform her concert via online streaming at the originally-scheduled time of the concert, September 12, 2021 at HKT20:00.
"There might be limitations with the venue, but the Stage is limitless," she wrote.

Pro-Democracy Hong Kong Singer #DeniseHo Live-Streams Concert, Vows to Carry On Singing
Pro-democracy Cantopop singer #DeniseHo was scheduled to play in her concert "Becoming the Song" on 8-12 September. However, just 8 days before her concert, the Hong Kong Arts Center abruptly cancelled Ho's venue booking.
Braving many difficulties, Ho went ahead to perform online on September 12, at the original scheduled time.
Ho said that it was like performing in sauna parlour, as the venue she eventually found was without air conditioning; she and her band were soaked in sweat. However, she felt that it was much more memorable experience for everyone than having a concert on a "proper" stage.
Denise Ho was thankful for her supporters. She said, "the best way to thank my supporters is to carry on singing."
