Storytelling through Shared Song with Chinatown Records

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 24, 2024

Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 is a project from DJ, cultural organizer and oral historian Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan, aka YiuYiu 瑶瑶. What began with the inheritance of her father's records and tapes has grown into a collection that spans the 1920s to the 2000s as well as various community engagement projects. Through Chinatown Records 華埠錄音, Kwan leads listening parties and oral history sessions, and storytelling projects with Think!Chinatown. As All Of It continues to invite listeners to engage with music history and oral storytelling through the Public Song Project, Kwan stops by to discuss how she approaches her work, and take calls from listeners.
