Description

Taiwan's Indigenous people share a rich musical tradition. In this full music video, Stephen returns to his Atayal village to celebrate homecoming with singer songwriter, Ipay Buyci. This new take on a traditional medley invites all young Atayal to take their place in the community. Watch as Virchow Shuvee makes a powerful declaration to the world!

“Songs of Our Ancestors” is a new music documentary series exploring the Austronesian diaspora. Join our hosts—Stephen Rong, aka Verchow Shuvee, a Taiwanese-American with Atayal roots, and Chalaw Basiwali, an Amis singer-songwriter and cultural mentor—as they take a personal journey through Taiwan’s Indigenous cultures. Together they meet local musicians and explore community life, all in an effort to create fresh folk tunes that combine local traditions with modern musical styles.
