50 Pounds of Rice

Monday 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Genres: World, Asian
Hosts: Jonathan Walker, Winter Guo

Welcome to the sounds of the far east. 50 Pounds of Rice is a show dedicated to playing Asian music. Every show features music from Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and many more countries. Whether it’s music played from albums bought off the back of a bicycle or from my family’s private stash of music, you can be sure that this music is the very best of what the Orient has to offer. The music of the Asian continent is filled with thousands of years of tradition and culture. Sometimes we play pristine recordings of traditional folk music and other times we play a hybrid blend of east and western music to emerge. The only way to find out what is going on is to listen every Monday from 6 to 7 PM here on WREK Atlanta.
