Aristophanes “桃 The Peach Blossom”

03 Apr 2013 — Kelsie Brown

Aristophanes is a young MC based out of Taipei, Taiwan. Although none of her verses are in English (and instead Mandarin Chinese), her flow is buttery smooth and full of emotion. The Peach Blossom is a retelling of a classic Chinese and Japanese story. Aristophanes states, 'In my version there is a person who always dreaming about a place called 桃花源. After a long walking, he finally arrives there. But everything is ruined when he arrives. So his dream is shattered.' (via Soundcloud). With this in mind, and with the intense production courtesy of talented Japanese producer Lidly, The Peach Blossom becomes a dramatic tale of sorrow and heartbreak.
