Lakeshore Records has released a soundtrack album for the PBS docu-series Asian Americans. The album features the show’s original music composed by Vivek Maddala (The Tom & Jerry Show, Kaboom, White Sun, Awake: The Life of Yogananda). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon, where you can also check out audio samples. Asian Americans is produced by Renee Tajima-Peña (Who Killed Vincent Chin?, No Más Bebés), executive produced by Jeff Bieber, Dalton Delan, Stephen Gong, Donald Young, Sally Jo Fifer & Jean Tsien and examines what the 2010 U.S. Census identifies as the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States. The 5-parter is told through individual lives and personal histories and explores the impact of this group on the country’s past, present, and future. The series premiered earlier this month on PBS.
