Hello Taiwan Tour 2018

Basiwali is a group of musicians from the two remote areas of the Polynesian landscape. Chalaw is from Taiwan's Amis tribe. Kilema is from Madagascar's Malkasi tribe. Taiwan and Madagascar are far, far away from each other, but their tribes are related - they’re both Polynesian tribes, a subset of the Austronesian people which includes Aborigine and Maori people, and native Hawaiian people too.

Basiwali makes music inspired by the natural world. They have a clean acoustic classical guitar sound and vibrant drumming, and vocals that move audiences wherever they’re from, with their Amis melodies and Latin rhymes. It’s truly a unique vision, a fusion of cultures that are deeply related.

​It feels like being hugged by both ends of the Pacific - sometimes stormy, sometimes calm - but you’re always in safe hands in the good ship Basiwali, and sailing on the wide, beautiful ocean.

About Hello taiwan

The origin of Hello Taiwan dates back to 2010, when members of the New York Taiwanese American community sensed a disconnect from younger generations interested in music. The idea to bridge the gap was simple: host a rock concert at the Taiwan Center around Thanksgiving, providing the perfect opportunity to blend community, family, and great music. 

​The influence of the concert continued to grow, and in 2012 Taiwanese bands took to the road for an east coast music tour under then “Hello Taiwan Tour” name. The tour was a major success, allowing the artists to promote their music and Taiwan at the same time. The tour has deep ties with the Passport to Taiwan Festival that takes place on Union Square each year to celebrate Taiwanese American Heritage Week designated by the US Congress in 1999.
