We’re closing out Chinatown Arts Festival with one last Chinatown Block Party for the year with our neighborhood DJ YiuYiu 瑶瑶. Sing and dance along to our favorite songs from the Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 archive, spanning over 30 record/CD/tape collections inherited from families and neighbors. 

This is a block party for the whole family! Free with no RSVP required, this event is rain or shine ~ see you there 💃🕺

YiuYiu 瑶瑶 (@rochellehkwan) is a DJ and oral history educator for Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 ~ a homegrown community effort to celebrate the richness of music, memory, and history that comes with inherited family collections. Spanning Chinatown block parties, sonic histories, living room listenings, and endless learning with family + neighbors, Chinatown Records is an ever-growing record of the people we love, who bring all this music back to life with us. @rochellehkwan @chinatownrecordsproject
