Wan Li Ma Wang〔There are several forms of spelling for the band name, which differentiate from each other with just subtle differences, e.g. ''Wanli Mawang'' (Steen, A. 1996), ''Wan Li Ma Wang'' (Sinha, K. 2008), ''Wan-Li-Ma-Wang'' (Davis, E. L. 2009), ''Wanlimawang'' (Clark, P. 2012), etc.〕 is a Chinese rock group formed in 1979, which is known to be one of the oldest rock bands originated from China.〔Steen, A. 1996〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Wan Li Ma Wang )〕 The band was set up by four university students from Beijing, Wan Xing, Li Shichao, Ma Xiaoyi and Wang Xinbo. The group name was a derivative of the combination of the group members' surnames.〔Davis, E. L. 2009〕 The band made their sensational debut to the public in the winter of 1979, when the four performed at the university joint show. They covered songs of the Beatles, Paul Simon, Rolling Stones and the like, which was a stark contrast to other students' performances — usually recitations or choruses in English.〔 Although the band played mainly covers of other bands, it was still a huge novelty to China during the late 1970s.〔Clark, P. 2012〕 Its debut was reported by CRI and the group sebsequently held live concerts in other Beijing-based Chinese universities.〔〔 However, it was not long before the band was eventually dissolved, when the four members graduated from the University and went for life trajectories other than rock stars.〔 == Notes == 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「Wan Li Ma Wang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
