Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 is a homegrown community effort to celebrate the sonic tapestry of music, memory, & history that comes with inherited family collections. Spanning across Chinatown block parties, sonic histories, living room listenings, & beyond, Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 is an ever-growing record of the people we love, who bring all this music to life with us.
From my dad’s records, CD’s, & tapes to now over 30 different collections spanning 1920’s-2000’s Chinese music & beyond from family, friends, & neighbors, Chinatown Records continues to grow as a community-powered, living archive. Beyond the home archive, we see music as a portal for opening up conversation, sparking memories, & building connections across generations – starting right here at home with our loved ones.
