[Swprograms] TAIWAN: New weekly programme on RTI

[Alan Roe <alan-roe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TAIWAN:  R Taiwan Int have a new weekly 15-minute programme called 
"Original Waves" which is being aired for 15 weeks on Thursdays at 25 
minutes into the transmission.The programme is a co-production of the 
Council of IndigenousPeoples and Radio Taiwan International.   I came 
across the programme by chance, as I hadn't seen it promoted on the 
website or elsewhere, although it has been quietly added to the list of 
programmes on the website, as follows:

"Today, the indigenous people of Taiwan account for less than 2% of the 
population, but they are vital part of the rich culture of Taiwan. In 
Original Waves, we'll be introducing the 14 tribes of officially 
recognized aborigines, and sharing their legends, customs, music and 
other cultural characteristics."

I listened to the first programme today 6 June (at 1825 on 6155kHz via 
France).  The first programme introduced the series and talked about a 
legend or myth that all 14 tribes have in common, albeit with variations.

I look forward to the next 14 weeks.
