from In Taiwan We Speak · host Oleksandr Shyn

Atayal folk songs are like… techno, says singer Eri Liao. In this part of our interview, Eri talks about Atayal lullabies, Aza Roots’ new album, the joys and clichés of being labelled a “musical Indigenous”, and what’s often missed about Indigenous vocal traditions. She also reflects on the coexistence of peace and the threat of war on her home island.Find #InTaiwanWeSpeak on: 🎧 Your podcasts 🎙️ YouTube 📸 Social channelsCome back for new episodes every Tuesday at 21:00 (Taipei, GMT+8).
