New Sounds of China (中国新声) is an (*ahem*) new bilingual Chinese-English radio show presented in collaboration between Resonance FM and London Chinese Radio. Their first episode features a solid cross section of studio and live recordings; some of the latter come from a recent experimental music festival in Beijing. Adding to the appeal is an interview, in Chinese, with Glorious Pharmacy's Li Tieqiao. Well worth a listen. You can hear their first show here. Oh, and, surprise! You'll likely need a proxy or VPN to access this if you're in mainland China.
London Chinese Radio offers the following summary:
A new show devoted to Chinese contemporary music in its many surprising guises. Broadcasting in a mish-mash of the world's three most popular languages - English, Chinese and Music - New Sounds of China hopes to challenge orientalist perceptions of Chinese music, and prove that there's more playing on the iPods of the People's Republicans than just Peking Opera. Presented by Wang Weilin and Paul Kendall, as a joint collaboration between Resonance FM and London Chinese Radio. Please contact the show via (insert e-mail address), to record your requests, recommendations and rants, and in return, we promise to steal the best ideas and claim them as our own. The show will be broadcast live across London on Resonance 104.4FM on Wednesdays from 6-7pm. You can listen to it from this link.
伦敦华语和 Resonance FM 合作,即将拨出一系列的中国地下音乐节目,名为《中国新声 》这些音乐显然和大家熟悉的来自香港台湾的流行乐完全不同。该节目将通过调频 104.4 FM 在周三下午6-7点播出。同时,您也可以通过我们的网上链接收听。The show will include music by Meihao Yaodian, Li Jianhong (李剑鸿) among others, and an exclusive interview with Li Tieqiao. Tune in and prepare for ... er, something !
