Melodies from our memory - 1960's/70's Taiwan & Hong Kong by YiuYiu 瑤瑤 published on 2020-10-27T19:52:24Z The start of something very special with Think!Chinatown's Chinatown Arts Week 2020. Co-hosted by YiuYiu, Think!Chinatown, and Grace Chang (in The Wild, Wild Rose) on 19 October 2020. Three years ago, while packing to move to NYC, I stumbled upon three boxes of vinyl records hidden in my family's home. Over the past few months, I've been working with folks in Manhattan Chinatown to dig up and digitize their family collections of records and tapes, while listening to the sweet memories that come with them. From Cantonese opera to Taiwanese pop, these melodies orchestrate the soundtrack to our memories of home and family. Now, these records and the stories they hold fill my own home in Chinatown. This mix pays homage not only to my own parents, but also to the families who have held onto these musical memories of home for decades. Special thanks to Dad, Vic, Amy, Betty, and a growing list of Manhattan Chinatown folks for trusting me to listen and sway to these melodies with as much love as you all did with your families. This project has been a community effort, so thank you for being a part of it.
