an Amis chant ("Weeding and Paddyfield Song No. 1") sung by folk music duo Difang and Igay Duana opens the song and is repeated throughout. Hailing from Taiwan, these Amis musicians were in a cultural exchange program in Paris in 1988 when their performance of the song was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde and later distributed on CD.

This song popped into my head earlier and took me a while to look up. Throwback song for many of us Millennials.

One of my proudest moments was googling "what song goes AYAYAYYYYOAYYAYYAY" and being directed to a random forum where this was asked and correctly answered. :) Ah happy times.
