葛蘭 Ge Lan (also known Grace Chang) - 教我如何不想她 “Teach me how not to miss her” (originally a poem by Luo Zhihai) 

This video (1962) is a great example of global music flows! (wait for it) Ge Lan was born in Nanjing and trained in classical Beijing Opera, and later moved to Hong Kong and began starring in movies. Port cities are natural circulation points, and many of the record labels of 30s Shanghai also moved to Hong Kong with the rise of the CCP. 

Featuring the following tracks:

Jasmine Chen - “Waiting For Your Return”

Cheryl K - “Money (That’s What I Want)” (English language original performed by Barrett Strong)

Grace Chang - “Wo Yao Ni De Ai (I Want Your Love - I Want You To Be My Baby)”

Chinese fusion music from the 50s-60s is great!! a couple artists to check out are Rebecca Pan and Grace Chang

there’s not a ton of that specific luau/Chinese fusion but both Pan and Chang use those musical motifs along w a lot of western jazz/latin influence in their music.

Honestly, finding them on Spotify and making a radio from a specific song you like is a good way to get more music with this similar fusion vibe!!
