Where Did Music Come From?

Where Did Music Come From?

14 films

What Did Taiwan’s First Pop Songs Sound Like? How did a group of young people returning to the countryside turn an old tobacco-curing shed into the birthplace of a classic album? How did one small indie record label become the cradle of Taiwan’s biggest rock bands?

In collaboration with Blow (吹音樂), Taiwan’s leading independent music media outlet, we've selected 9 films exploring the roots and evolution of Taiwan’s music scene—alongside a powerful documentary on Rolling Stone, the iconic U.S. music magazine born in an era of rebellion.

From the golden age of modern Taiwanese pop to the rise of underground and alternative bands, these films span nearly a century of music history. For fans stuck at home and missing the thrill of live gigs, let these moving images bring you back to a time when legends were just getting started.
