Welcome to the Pulse Podcast! Having talked to a couple of scholars working in the field of Kunqu (Pai Hsien-yung) and music (Wong Chuen-fung) seems it’s now time to talk something different! This time we”ve invited Kasaundra Howard, an exchange student at City University, who often prefers one to call her Chinese name Lili to share her life. If you want to know why she wants to learn Chinese, her feelings when travelling to various parts of Hong Kong, Mainland and Taiwan and her dream of being a star in Asian movies, then this Podcast should not be missed!

Today’s a special day for the Pulse because we’ve produced our first Podcast programme for our readers! Special thanks of course should go to our first guest – Professor Wong Chuen-fung, assistant professor of the Department of Music at the Macalester College in Minnesota, who’s squeezed time during his stay in Hong Kong before returning to the US next week. The first programme is about music of minorities in China, especially music of the Uyghur and its relationship to issues like identity.
If you don’t have much idea about what Ugyhur music is, or how it’s like to carry out research into the discipline of ethnomusicology, or even if you’re simply curious about his excursion to Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and his learning experience of the traditional Uyghur instruments such as the rawap (Central Asian plucked lute) there, then this is a programme for you. You can also get a taste of what these music’s like, as music excerpts specially prepared by Professor Wong will be played during the programme. So just enjoy it!
Just a few more words, though….We want to make more interesting programmes for you all, so if you’ve any idea/thoughts or any topic that you’re interested, you can drop us a line at the blog!
