Chinese American Bear

Chinese American Bear brings its bilingual mandopop to Sala B in Madrid during its stop in the capital.

Chinese American Bear is a duo from Seattle that writes and records bilingual songs in English and Chinese. The project is made up of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, who make their material in a studio at their home. Their sound blends pop and rock influences with a range of aesthetic references and lyrics that include food-related themes. Their discography includes the album Wah and the twelve-track release Dim Sum & Then Sum, issued through Moshi Moshi Records, as well as songs featured in audiovisual productions, video game soundtracks and advertising campaigns.

On stage, the duo brings this bilingual, melodic repertoire to life, having played festival circuits and shared stages with artists such as Poppy and Greer in various countries. This show at Sala B in Madrid brings the duo together for a concert aimed at audiences interested in current strands of pop, rock and independent music from the international scene.
