Butterfly Lover's Song By jon jang

Warriors by League of Legends

This instrumental piece is from the 1990s and is by an artist who was heavily inspired by the Asian American movement and the fusion of cultures. This is directly represented in the dual usage of traditional Chinese folk music and jazz elements to create this track. Symbolizing the similar mixture of cultures present for Asian Americans, Jon Jang camptures this blend musically.

Asian American immigrants are the people who built the foundation of transportation for the United States, the railroads. This song references the stand of the people who built up society to reclaim and fight for what they deserve, similar to what Asian Americans did throughout their civil rights movement.
