Joint Family Workshop on Little Dragon Tales: Children’s Songs
A Sing-Along Celebration to Welcome the Year of the Dragon
Little Dragon Tales is a collection of 12 classic Chinese Children’s songs with a modern twist. Produced by the electronic music group The Shanghai Restoration Project, the album features the voices of the Yip’s Canada Children’s Choir. In partnership with Cheng & Tsui Company and IODA, this album was made available exclusively for China Institute members in advance of its international release on November 29.
Dave Liang is the Emmy winning creator and producer of The Shanghai Restoration Project, a musical group that blends traditional Chinese instrumentation and culture with hip-hop and electronica. His music has reached #1 on several electronic charts around the world and can often be heard in global advertising campaigns, television shows, and tastemaker radio programs. The Shanghai Restoration Project has received coverage in The New York Times, NPR’s All Things Considered, BBC World Service, FADER Magazine, Wired.com, PRI’s The World, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Wall Street Journal.
During this unique family workshop jointly hosted by Arts & Culture and Children’s Programs, children and their families will learn to sing select songs from this album with the producer, Dave Liang, and jazz singer, Le Zhang, who performs on the track Little White Boat in the album.
