Live China Music Podcast: introduction to the show
Live China Music Podcast
Have you ever wondered why a country with a population of 1.4 billion people hasn’t produced a global superstar yet? China’s music scene is rich, diverse, and colorful but hardly ever reaches other countries. Those of you into classical music probably heard of Lang Lang and Yo-Yo Ma, if into post-rock then Wang Wen and Chinese Football are names you might be familiar with, and the metalheads out there could possibly have heard of Nine Treasures. But these bands barely scrape the top of the iceberg. Will Griffith, founder of the longest lasting blog on China’s indie scene, Live...

About us:
The mission of the Live China Music Podcast is to shed light on Chinese music, providing listeners with insights and information on the Chinese music scene that they would not be able to obtain elsewhere.
The show follows a similar structure to inspiring podcasts such as NPR’s New Music Friday.
During 30-minutes episodes, Will and I review and discuss 4 to 6 tracks per episode, featuring audio clips of the reviewed songs. The songs discussed have been released less than a month prior. There is no musical genre excluded, but the editorial focus will be on emerging artists, even though on occasion established or legacy acts can be featured if the track is particularly noteworthy. Only artists living in China are reviewed in this program.
We systematically sign waivers with the artists or their label to ensure we do not infringe their copyright.
