Young Fathers [Performance & Interview Only]

On the show this time, it’s the anti-apathy activism of Chile’s Ana Tijoux. 
Ana Tijoux is a hip-hop artist, rapper, singer and songwriter.  She is from France, with Chilean roots, but she represents a world-spanning perspective, a belief in the value of human life, in the equality we deserve, and in the necessity of fighting for those rights.  She has just released her 5th solo album “Vida."  It encompasses the political - borders, colonialism, and genocide -  and the personal - being a woman, being brown, being exiled, and the grief of personal loss.  “Vida” is available on Altafonte through Victoria Productions.

Recorded on 03/20/2024.

On the show this time, electronics fight guitars in the post-prog noise-rock of SISTEMAS INESTABLES.

SISTEMAS INESTABLES is an instrumental trio from Santiago de Chile. They are finishing a trilogy of EP’s which will comprise their full-length-release at the end of 2024. The first EP, 'oppidum,' which means “town” is about cities - powerful and aggressive. The second, 'homines,' meaning “people” is about humans - perhaps it is more emotional. The as yet unreleased third EP is about nature and will be more organic. Their music is available on Bandcamp, and through the label LeRock Psicophonique. For this performance the band played two songs from their 2018 release, 'O,' and one from the EP 'homines.'

Recorded 03/12/2024.
