FIRST NATIONS SELECTION TEAM 原住民單元選片團隊介紹
Seredaw Tariyaljan
桑梅絹
A celebrated singer and cultural warrior from Taiwan’s Paiwan people, Seredaw Tariyaljan breathes new life into ancestral warrior songs passed down by elders, while powerfully voicing the stories of women through her evocative vocals—soaring at times, and resonating deep and low at others. She was awarded Best Indigenous Singer at the 29th Golden Melody Awards, with her album Seredew (2018) also nominated for Best Album.
桑梅絹是來自台灣排灣族的知名歌手與文化戰士，以悠揚且深沉的嗓音，為部落長輩流傳下來的古老戰歌注入新生命，同時唱出女性的故事與情感。她的演唱時而高亢、時而低迴，充滿穿透力與感染力。
專輯《Seredew》（2018）榮獲第29屆金曲獎「最佳原住民歌手獎」和「最佳原住民語專輯獎」，是當代原住民音樂的重要代表之一。
