Alba Radio: Sounds In Film - Wong Kar Wai

''In the Western world, improvisation is a failure; you do it when something goes wrong. But when black people improvise it's a form of mastery.'' Alba

From the host: "Dive into the sonic world of director Wong Kar Wai. From Sandy Lam’s Cantopop cover of “Take My breath Away” in As Tears Go By (1988) to Nat King Cole’s “Te Quire Dijiste” In The Mood For Love (2000)."
