黃家駒

繁體中文

黃家駒（1962–1993）創立 Beyond，令廣東搖滾成為時代聲音。佢寫嘅《海闊天空》係此後香港每個重要時刻都會合唱嘅自由之歌，《光輝歲月》致敬曼德拉，《喜歡你》《真的愛你》傳唱至今。佢堅持原創、抗拒公式化嘅愛情歌，帶樂隊遠赴日本發展同向非洲送暖。1993年佢喺日本錄影節目時意外逝世，年僅31歲，但佢嘅音樂同理想主義，至今仍係香港精神最响亮嘅註腳。

Wong Ka Kui (1962-1993) founded Beyond, the band that made Cantonese rock matter. He wrote 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies' (海闊天空), an anthem of freedom sung at every Hong Kong gathering since, and 'Glorious Days' (光輝歲月), inspired by Nelson Mandela. Rejecting the love-song formula of Cantopop, he insisted on originality and ideals; he died in 1993 after an accident during a TV show taping in Japan, aged 31, and remains the defining voice of Hong Kong idealism.
