Dabaoge 打包歌 is a Beijing-based website that seems to be inspired by the guys over at The Mahogany Sessions where they feature up and coming beijing bands in a seemingly spontaneous outdoor setting.

I’ve been trying to follow the mainland Chinese Indie music scene for sometime now and its utterly refreshing to see more new outfits daring to try out new music styles. Dabaoge looks to be a really exciting site to follow to keep track of the changing music scene in Beijing.

So its been a while since the former vocalist for Allura, Inch Chua, left Singapore to pursue her singing career. We haven’t heard much from her other than some sporadic video updates and covers on her youtube page. So you can imagine our surprise when we found this rather elaborate duet of popular Youtube artist David Choi and Inch Chua appear on our youtube feed.

Merry Christmas!
