Go Away With … Paula Fong
“My father is a Chinese immigrant who grew up in Taiwan and Hong Kong,” singer-songwriter Paula Fong said. “[He] came to the United States for college where he met and married my mother, a Midwestern Hoosier with family roots in Kentucky. I asked my grandmother to teach me traditional Chinese folk songs and lullabies, and eventually would end up taking classes in Chinese opera and playing the dizi – wooden flute – in the Chinese orchestra during my time in undergrad at UCLA.”
