Earlier this year, Chung also helped bring the Hakka band Labor Exchange (交工樂隊) to world music festivals in Belgium and the Czech Republic.
"We were swarmed by a full house of Czech media wanting to interview Labor Exchange. The band never had such media attention in Taiwan," said Chung.
Now, Trees Music is set to grow in new directions, starting with the establishment of the Trees Music & Art Association (大大樹音樂協會) which will aim to organize more music events and international seminars. Its first project will be organizing a festival of music by nomadic peoples, set for December, which will include Jewish, Gypsy, Hakka and Taiwanese Aboriginal music.
