Nan Quan Mama

Taiwanese music group


Nan Quan Mama (Chinese: 南拳媽媽; pinyin: Nán Quán Māmā; lit. 'southern fist mother') is a Taiwanese music group. The name is a phrase in Mandarin to explain having strength while being gentle as a mother. They are closely tied with the well-known artist Jay Chou, but it was revealed after Lara and Chase Chang went solo that the name came from Jay's pen name when he was in high school when he started writing songs, and it was meant to mean 'Nan Quan's Mother', so it was actually a metaphor for Jay's mother.[1] The group was nominated for Best Singing Group at the 19th Golden Melody Awards in 2008.[2]
