With our eyes set on unearthing the freshest flavors from unexpected places, we widen our scope with hand-picked musical gems from all across Asia. We continue our six-part collaboration with Taiwan Asean Music Action by having a chat with Taiwanese fusion ensemble A Root (同根生) to find out more about the band's foundational years, the making of their debut album "Rooty Mental", creating new sounds using Chinese instruments and more.
