Dazzling GMA Hakka Nomination Party: 6 Groups of Musicians Take Turns to Shine a Spotlight on Hakka Language


The 35th Golden Melody Awards (GMA) 2024 ceremony will take place on June 29 in Taipei Arena. To encourage nominees of the GMA Hakka language categories, the Hakka Affairs Council (HAC) held the concert and media gathering GMA35 H Party! today (June 21). HAC Minister Gu Show-faye presented medals to congratulate each of the nominees and emphasized that “every nomination is a win for us”. Minister Gu analogized nomination to a flower—HAC is like the soil and fertilizer making sure that with attentive care, each plant blooms ever more beautiful.

She mentioned how many of her friends have expressed wonder at the huge improvement in Taiwan’s original music, especially Hakka music, which showcases a variety of styles and wealth of creativity. This major step forward marks a milestone in the history of Hakka music. Every nominee is to thank for this, as it is thanks to their creations that we can sing the praises of Hakka musical culture. HAC relies on everyone’s ability and professional skills to demonstrate the beauty and preciousness of Hakka music.
