廣東歌在上世紀70年代至今，一直記載在一代代香港人的心聲，亦承載着不少填詞人在商業框架下的真我與熱心。 近年，有不少的討論及著作嘗試探討廣東歌與幸福感及精神健康的關係，當中除了是能夠喚醒我們的熟悉感以外，廣東話及廣東歌詞獨特之處也可能是重要的相關因素。 有關在日常生活的應用，很多人會問，究竟我們還需不需要勵志歌？而低落的時候應否避免聽暗黑歌嗎？ 在進一步的數據出現前，有關這些實際的問題，我們實在需要更加多的跨學科討論，才能看到當中的端倪。 這次講座邀請到朱耀偉教授、陳明憙小姐以及陳啓泰醫生分享，他們會各抒己見，從情感、記憶、歌詞、與音符說起；亦會分享他們喜愛的廣東歌歌詞以作說明。 希望大家可以從文化、學術、音樂創作、以及精神健康多方面，一起檢視這個有趣但貼身的議題。

 

Prof. Stephen Chu 朱耀偉 is Professor of Hong Kong Studies Programme, The University of Hong Kong, and Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of Humanities.

 

Miss Jocelyn Chan 陳明憙 is a singer-songwriter, actress and certified Sound Healing practitioner. She is the first singer-songwriter to infuse Sound Healing into a Cantopop series. Since 2021, she has been releasing singles which showcase unique sound healing instruments in the arrangement, and all explore a different theme of emotional and self-healing, such as inner peace, facing fears and letting go. Various singles in this series such as “Sound of Silence”, “Thank You, My Fears”, "Little Love", "Do Not Disturb" and “In Bloom” went on to become number one singles on local radios. Through these songs, Jocelyn hopes to be a source of emotional healing and companionship to her audiences. In extension of this, in 2020, after becoming a certified Sound Healing practitioner, she founded “Atlantis Sound Healing” to further introduce the therapeutic power of frequencies to more people.
