Music, Food and Love

In 2006, Guo Yue released Music, Food and Love, a musical companion to his book of the same name. Both book and album offer an evocative journey through Guo Yue’s remarkable life —from his early years in The Hutongs of North-East Beijing, through the 1966 Cultural Revolution that exploded when he was just eight years old, to his 1982 departure for London and his vivid, bittersweet memories of his recent visits back to China. Produced by Richard Evans, the album was recorded in Beijing, Bath, and Budapest.
