Pamela Kwong

New York, USA

I grew up listening to 80’s/90’s Cantopop songs and so, I selected six

songs that are a source of solace and wisdom. Although I have been

judged for listening to Cantopop, I hold onto my father’s stories of

browsing the latest Hong Kong records and cassette tapes in a NYC

Chinatown music store, which no longer exists. This nostalgia ties into

a particular time when Hong Kong entertainment was experiencing a

wave. The Cantonese diaspora is vast and scattered, but our songs

connect us back together. Our stories will live on if we keep sharing

them.

About Pamela Kwong

@pamonologues

Pamela Kwong is a Cantonese American artist of life. She writes, draws,

creates and binds journals. She is on a journey of exploring languages,

shaping up her voice, and finding ways to weave stories with words. In

her free time, she wanders around and goes down a rabbit hole of books,

songs, and coffee.
