Documentary-style music videos from China

打包歌 or DaBaoGe (literally “a song you sing while you’re packing up”) is a bilingual music project producing independent, documentary-style music videos throughout Greater China. We’re not tied to any particular genre and we ask artists to perform in a location that you wouldn’t typically see them performing in. Where possible we aim to make music for an unsuspecting audience, and capture the energy, artistry and unpredictability of live performance.


Every film receives a hand-drawn treatment from Nini Sum of Idlebeats, who produces unique art prints inspired by each film as part of an on-going collaboration with DaBaoGe.


DaBaoGe is a not-for-profit project and receives generous support from Converse. In the last 9 months, we’ve filmed The Black Atlantic (Holland), French Horn Rebellion (US), Fetish People (Taiwan), Hanggai (Beijing) and Little Punk (Shanghai), Zhang Shouwang (Beijing) and Lucifer (Beijing). The Black Atlantic said “It’s the best live video we’ve ever done”. The project is run by Andy Miller and Charles Lanceplaine and is inspired by the French blog, takeawayshows.com (who are also friends of DaBaoGe). Titles and logo by Keflouis V.
