Gangtai

Gangtai

Gangtai (Chinese: 港台 or 港臺, Hanyu Pinyin: Gǎng Tái) is a term derived from the shortened word of "Kong" and "Tai". It is generally used to describe C-pop songs, artists or music from Hong Kong or Taiwan.

Terminology

The term is synonymous with post-1960 cantopop or post-1970 mandopop. It is usually a term used to describe a sweet, love type melody found distinctly in C-pop and not any other genre of Chinese folk, rock or traditional music.

The term is also used to describe mainland China singers imitating the HK/Taiwan singing style [Garofalo, Reebee. [1992] (1992). Rockin' the Boat: mass music and mass movements. South End Press. ISBN 0896084272] .
