Akuphone's first release is a reissue of Chinese Folk Songs by Lily Chao, originally released in 1968 by Four Seas Records. This edition features four previously unheard tracks, along with exclusive liner notes including Chao's biography and lyric translations. Born in Taiwan in 1948, Lily Chao's life was shaped by the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War. At 19, she began her singing career out of necessity, performing at the Taipei Cabaret to support her family. Her unique style and performances, blending Mandarin folk songs with surf rock and garage influences, quickly gained acclaim, despite her reserved and melancholic demeanor earning her the nickname "Ice Queen."
The album is a fusion of folk, rock, and soul, with surf guitar, saxophone, and organ complementing Chao's distinctive vibrato. Chinese Folk Songs stands as a timeless pop achievement from the 1960s.
