The songs on this record were produced by Odean records, a company that was founded in 1903. Chinese opera music was also popular among Peranakan Chinese who were entertained by theatre performances like this, and Malay bangsawan theatre. Their enjoyment of such entertainment showed affinity for their Chinese identity and heritage.
