Flavor Hualien

Based in Hualien, Flavor is a collective creating sonic archives through hip-hop and field recordings rooted in Taiwan’s Indigenous communities. 

Eastside Samples is a collaboration collecting rural field recordings from Hualien’s Indigenous communities and fusing them with hip-hop to build a unique Taiwanese sonic identity.

“This is a really exciting opportunity that represents eastern Taiwan. I love how it uniquely showcases local voices and sounds, presenting them to a global audience in a fresh and authentic way. I’m excited to hear Hualien’s sonic landscape come alive and witness the meaningful connections it creates across communities and generations.”
