Graham Webster at Transpacifica is paying attention to the emerging underground music scene in Beijing.  Four years ago, when I was studying at Peking University, I found it hard to find musicians who were making music I wanted to listen to.  There were a few, to be sure, who mostly played angry punk or hip-hop.

There seems to be more going on nowadays.  Here’s a song from an album Graham sent me by emerging freak-folk musician Xiao He (小河) called “If you Believe (如果你相信)”.
