Gia Fu is a DJ, selector, and radio host based in Hong Kong. She primarily focuses on digging and spinning salsa and mambo gems everywhere she goes, also diving deep into all Afro-Latin music, disco and house grooves. She runs the Mild Mambo Club show, often on Rinse FM, and is an enigma in Hong Kong, mostly DJing at salsa festivals and congresses outside of Hong Kong until the pandemic. 

"I decided to go on a little research journey for this mix because even though I am all dedicated to the Afro-Latin genres and the social (salsa) dance scene, some parts of me are still curious about the music I grew up with. My parents actually met because of social dancing. My mom was a dance teacher in Shanghai and Beijing who teaches ChaCha (cha-cha-chá) and all kinds of social dances for upper class people to be able to dance in social dances. So I began to dig Chinese records of Chacha songs that my parents used to dance. Exploring this music, I felt connected to my parents almost as if we are/were living in a Parallel World - at the same time, it relates back to the genres that I am passionate about and I get to explore the connection and influence in between Afro-Latin music and Chinese music."

Gretchen Peters joins us once again on the show to talk about her new album...

For two decades, Gretchen Peters has been one of Nashville’s most beloved and respected artists.

“If Peters never delivers another tune as achingly beautiful as ‘On A Bus To St. Cloud,'” People Magazine wrote, “she has already earned herself a spot among country’s upper echelon of contemporary composers.”

Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014 by singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell, who called her “both a songwriter and a poet (who) sings as beautifully as she writes,” and said her song “The Matador”, “moved me so greatly, I cried from the soles of my feet”, Peters has accumulated accolades as a songwriter for artists as diverse as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Patty Loveless, George Strait, Bryan Adams and Faith Hill. Her song “Independence Day”, recorded by Martina McBride, won a CMA Song of the Year award in 1995.

She has been nominated for 2 Grammys (“Independence Day/Martina McBride, “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am”/Patty Loveless), a Golden Globe (“Here I Am”/Bryan Adams), and numerous other awards. Her 2015 album, ‘Blackbirds’ was awarded International Album of the Year and Song of the Year by the UK Americana Association.

In 2015, The Telegraph named her one of the greatest 60 female singer-songwriters of all time. Her latest album, The Night You Wrote That Song: The Songs of Mickey Newbury, is a loving tribute to another Hall of Fame songwriter and a profound influence on Peters’ own writing.

Mustachioed Mainer, Jacob McCurdy, blends Folk, Rock, and Roots into his very own brand of Indie-Americana. Love, heartbreak, joy, and the perfect moment; all pitched against the lush backdrop of honest harmony. On July 24th, McCurdy released For the Weekend (FTW), his first fully produced solo EP in 9 years.

﻿Normally filling his time with weddings and pub gigs with his cover band The Dapper Gents or playing bass with The Johnny Clay Shanks band, McCurdy started focusing on writing new original material in the beginning of 2020.
﻿With the extra time on his hands due to the current pandemic, he’s been writing up a storm. First up are the five songs off the new EP comprised mostly of songs related to love (maybe more so about heartbreak).

With plans for a full length album to be released in 2021, he shows no signs of stopping. With numerous virtual co-writing sessions a week, McCurdy has thrown himself into a full-time schedule of collaboration.

"Writing Up A Storm" Ft. Jacob McCurdy

The start of something very special with Think!Chinatown's Chinatown Arts Week 2020. Co-hosted by YiuYiu, Think!Chinatown, and Grace Chang (in The Wild, Wild Rose) on 19 October 2020. 

Three years ago, while packing to move to NYC, I stumbled upon three boxes of vinyl records hidden in my family's home. Over the past few months, I've been working with folks in Manhattan Chinatown to dig up and digitize their family collections of records and tapes, while listening to the sweet memories that come with them. From Cantonese opera to Taiwanese pop, these melodies orchestrate the soundtrack to our memories of home and family. Now, these records and the stories they hold fill my own home in Chinatown. This mix pays homage not only to my own parents, but also to the families who have held onto these musical memories of home for decades. 

Special thanks to Dad, Vic, Amy, Betty, and a growing list of Manhattan Chinatown folks for trusting me to listen and sway to these melodies with as much love as you all did with your families.

This project has been a community effort, so thank you for being a part of it.

This year, I've been thinking a lot about distance. When we can't travel across physical space to see each other, how else can we travel together? ⁣
⁣
Time too can make things feel far away and distant. And yet, we can transport back in an instant, at the first beat of a song so familiar to our bones that we can't help but groove. ⁣
⁣
I've been working on a really special mix, sprinkled with lil portals back in time with my dad and PoPo (grandma). ~*Bonus PoPo content for my Canto speakers*~ All songs are pulled from a growing archive of NY Chinatown family record collections, with their own sweet memories attached to each one, their own time portals back to a golden era of music in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China.
⁣
Even across physical distance, we can still meet on the dancefloor.
⁣
Time travel with me, dad, grandma, and Phambinho on NTS Radio.
