“唱山歌咧，這邊唱來那邊和，山歌好比春江水……”一首《山歌好比春江水》，因其優美的旋律，在大江南北傳唱了50多個年頭。本月12日，第19屆南寧國際民歌藝術節將唱響，屆時，來自國內外的歌手們將在南寧這塊天下民歌眷戀的熱土放聲高歌。“On the 12th of this month, the nineteenth Nanning International Folk Song Arts Festival will be held. When the time comes, singers from both here and abroad will sing along in this city, the focal point for folk songs of the world.”。
廣西是多民族聚居地，素有“歌海”之稱，還有“歌仙”劉三姐的美麗傳説。“Guangxi is a multi-ethnic habitation region. It is known as the sea of songs and it also has a beautiful legend about Liu Sanjie, the fairy singer.”。被譽為中國三大國際性音樂節之一的南寧國際民歌藝術節9月將再次唱響。“Nanning International Folk Song Arts Festival which is praised as one of the three major international music festivals in China will come in September.”。8月29日組委會介紹，此次民歌藝術節以“絲路山水·畫里民歌”為主題，展示廣西各少數民族風情以及與“一帶一路”沿線國家的友好發展。“August 29th, the organizing committee introduced that the theme of this festival is to show the culture and customs of every minority nationality of Guangxi and to make a friendly development with the countries along the Belt and Road.”。
12日晚，“大地飛歌·2017”晚會將在廣西體育中心體育館開唱。晚會以全畫卷實景民歌小鎮為概念，將民歌藝術節晚會與山水畫卷創新編排、有機融合，將為現場和電視機前的觀眾奉上一場民歌盛宴。
本屆民歌藝術節晚會除了民族音樂，在歌詞的創作、編曲和製作以及節目的編排上，都比去年《南寧歌謠》更加新潮，融入了時尚音樂元素“freestyle（即興説唱）”，嘻哈歌手將帶着融合廣西特色、東盟風情、南寧記憶的正宗“南寧style（風格）”，炫酷饒舌與地方特色碰撞，呈現效果值得期待。
自2004年起，南寧國際民歌藝術節在連續服務中國－東盟博覽會的實踐中，成功開啟了中國與東盟文化合作的新篇章，也成為廣西與全國乃至世界各地文化交流的重要平台。“Nanning International Folk Song Arts Festival has provided service for China-ASEAN Expo since 2004. In practice it has opened a new chapter of the culture cooperation between China and ASEAN, and it also has become an important platform for culture exchange between Guangxi and the whole country and even the whole world.”。讓我們一起在《大地飛歌》的音樂中，與各民族兄弟姐妹以及來自五湖四海的客人們一起，踏遍山路唱山歌，唱起那歡歌友誼長……
