Ayi Jihu (; born 1984) is a Chinese singer of Yi ethnicity, signed to British company Shlepp Records. ==Early life== Ayi Jihu grew up in Leibo County in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan.〔 Dance was one of her early hobbies.〔 〕 Her parents were farmers; however, her father died when she was just five or six, leaving Ayi to help her mother with farm chores, mainly raising ducks and chickens. She was exposed to traditional Yi ethnic music and dance from an early age, and found inspiration in the example of Qubi Awu, also an ethnic Yi from Sichuan, whose talents earned her a performance on China Central Television.〔 In 1994, Jihu's aunt brought her over to London.〔 Her mother, who goes by the English name Cindy, also moved to the UK and remarried to a man named Samuel. She studied in The Leys School for Year 9 in the academic year of 1998-1999 in North B House. In her new country, she came into contact with a variety of musical styles in concerts and clubs she attended with her friends; R&B especially piqued her interest.〔 〕 Though living in the UK, she continued to observe a number of Yi traditions at home, including the Torch Festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ayi Jihu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
