Since the first Passport to Taiwan was held in 2002 it's become the largest outdoor Taiwanese American event in the entire United States. Passport to Taiwan is a celebration of Taiwanese art, culture, music, community, and of course food.
In this episode I mention some of the notable performances, organizations and businesses that will be at Passport to Taiwan. For a full list of performances visit the Passport to Taiwan website at: www.p2tw.org
If you're going to be in New York City on May 28th stop by Talking Taiwan's booth to hear clips from some of our most notable guests.
Maybe you'll catch me interviewing some invited guests like Jilliyeah, who some may recognize for the memorable acceptance speech she made at last year's Grammy awards on behalf of the Taiwanese designers who won the Best Recording Package Grammy award for the album Pakelan. Jilliyeah put Taiwan in the mind of viewers that night when she said, on behalf of the designers "We are from Taiwan…Taiwan is a beautiful and a peace-loving country." And then she added, "I hope someday if you can go and visit Taiwan, super welcome."
Jilliiyeah is now in the U.S. pursuing her own career as a singer musician. She's going to be stopping by to do an interview with me at the Talking Taiwan podcasting.
Some past guests might be stopping by too. You never know who'll show up in at our on-location podcasting studio!
