巴奈panai

■关于巴奈
巴奈．库穗 (母语名Panai，中文名柯美黛）

1969年出生，狮子座。爸爸是阿美族，妈妈是卑南族。小时候念过四所小学，预示了后来漂泊的命运。目前服务于台东布农部落工作队，育有一女，名为读喜固。

台湾最有重量的声音 同样是来自台东的原住民歌手。如果说；陈建年、纪晓君的音乐贴近自然，歌咏风、海洋、山林、色彩晴朗；巴奈的歌，则显得色调浓重而沈郁，勾勒著她流浪各地的足迹。背著吉他，游走在天地之间，这样的背影或许看来苍凉而传奇。但是，去听她的歌、去读她的词，你会遇见一种熟悉的感觉，疏离与寂寞，久藏心底，被她的歌声召唤而出，轻触即四处漫溢。听巴奈现场的人都说会内伤，有时就干脆直接承认；害怕听她那些真实而坦白的旋律。在界限模糊、是非浑沌的这个世代，这样一种斩钉截铁的声音，已经很难听见了。
