Silk Road Sounds Vol. 1 | Neocha – Culture & Creativity in Asia

Asia-based and London-born, music collective Yeti Out has recently unveiled their latest project: Silk Road Sounds Vol. 1, a compilation album eponymously named after their new record label. The reference to Silk Road is meant to embody the album and label’s core mission of facilitating an exchange between different cultures, much like how the ancient trade route linked Asia with Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. But instead of peddling fabric and spices, Yeti Out founders Arthur Bray, Erisen Ali, and Tom Bray are eager to build cross-cultural relations by wielding the universal language of music.

诞生于伦敦而常驻于亚洲的音乐团体 Yeti Out ，最近推出了他们的与新唱片公司同名专辑《丝绸之路》——这是为了体现专辑和唱片公司促进不同文化交流的核心使命，也是致敬于历史上那一条连接亚洲与中东、非洲和欧洲的古代贸易路线。但Yeti Out 的创始人 Arthur Bray，Elisen Ali 和 Tom Bray 并不想贩售传统的织物和香料，他们想通过音乐推动现代亚洲与世界的跨文化交流。
