The month of May is Asian Pacific American History Month (APAHM). And apparently, my support for this yearly event is to catch
Jett Kwong. Last year I caught her at Junior High Gallery in Hollywood. This year, I caught her at Chungking Studio in Chinatown. If you aren't familiar with her, she plays a mean guzheng, which is a long string instrument that is parallel to the ground. Her music style is to play it with the backing of Western string instruments. It makes for a unique sound.
Also on this night, three short films were previewed. One dealt with Chinese immigrants in Germany and The Netherlands. Another was a short film about Chinese women dealing with sexual harassment in a unique way. And the final film was about Jett Kwong's grandmother.
