Book and 4 CDs. From Pearl of the Orient to New China's boomtown. Where age-old culture and traditions are side-by-side with pulsating modern life. A city between different worlds, ever changing, and in its midst: the people. Speed and pauses, loud and garish, and the aloof silence of watching. A city between cultures. The CDs: From the Shanghai Opera and traditional sounds of Chinese music to the hits from the '30s and '40s. Complemented by interpretations of old melodies and 'today's' music, which connect the inheritance of Old China with Western inspired lounge elements.
