📡 SUN 12/15, 8p est | 5p pst 📡 new sonic history broadcasting on @nts_radio for international migrants day! dedicated to the mothers + aunties who have crossed oceans for/to us, 💞 to our mothers(land) 💞 is a sonic history weaving together the music + memories of small discs (45s + cds) gifted to us by daughters, who had first inherited their collections + love for music from their mothers. from 1950s-70s taiwanese pop 45’s to 1980s-00s hong kong cantopop cds, woven through with stories from moms + aunties from chinatown's knickerbocker village, to our mothers(land) is a record of the songs + stories that have traveled across generations with us. i hope y'all love the music + memories as much as we do 🥰 earlier this year, @meibewhatever invited me to do listening + story workshops with chinatown aunties at knickerbocker village, where we altogether created the 📀 memories from golden song 📀 sonic history ~ then they choreographed a dance to their favorite songs + memories of them 🥲 so happy to weave in these stories again, which will be extra sweet + tender for our canto speakers. but here are a few snippets with english translations, so y'all can feel them too ☺️ thank you janice, sue, + mei for trusting us with your moms' incredible music collections ~ we love them. big hugs to @meibewhatever + knickerbocker village aunties for trusting me with your precious stories. shoutout to @nts_radio + @demonslayer__ for spotlighting all of these beloved songs + stories. +++ of course, i owe it all to my mom for the love + music that runs deep in my blood 💗 finally, constantly inspired by @treyalam, whose music sparked this longing/loving for our mothers(land): when they bury me beneath the redwood tree don't you shed a tear for me bring me back beside the waters that we crossed without our mothers to an otherland where we can be free to an otherland where we can be ~ @treyalam, otherland
