Danwei TV presents episode 4 of The Shanghai Beat, titled “Graffiti Shanghai” (with bilingual subtitles). Featured band: 21 Grams. You can also watch on Tudou (faster loading / higher quality in China).
For this episode, host and producer Adam Schokora (小石) meets up with three of Shanghai’s best known graffiti artists: Popil, Zhang Lan (AKA: Mr. Lan), and HKer, to get their inside perspective on the local graf scene and catch them in action painting a few pieces.
After the show, stay tuned for a musical performance by 21 Grams, a Shanghainese experimental post-rock band whose introspective music is largely inspired by their passion for film (featured band courtesy of www.neocha.com).

Produced by Adam Schokora & Ginger Xiang
