Kina

An interview with visual artist and designer Roger Peet, a member of the Justseeds artists' cooperative. Roger speaks about the ways that visual communication can play a role in both conveying and pushing forward the message of social movement forces and collective demands. Roger speaks about working on a design to express solidarity with the student strike movement in Québec in 2012 as a moment of collective power and also work more recently that Roger has worked on to express in visual language solidarity with the Palestinian people. Roger, like many Justseeds artists, are very active in the visualization of critical collective struggles both locally and globally.

Shika Shika is very proud to present Mas Aya’s “Still, Flowing” - a 4-track EP that touches on themes such as family, intimacy and spiritual purposes, the title itself taken from a lecture by influential Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah.

Brandon Valdivia a.k.a. Mas Aya has emerged as one of the most prolific and respected musicians in Canada, working as a drummer and multi-instrumentalist over the past twenty years. He has worked with artists such as GRAMMY Award-nominated Lido Pimienta, Bomba Estereo, Not the Wind, Not the Flag, Laraaji, Sook-Yin Lee amongst others.

While influenced by many genres, the EP centres around ambient folklore with strong references to jazz and Caribbean music. Diverse percussion, polyrhythmic drums and ethereal flutes tie the music together, transmitting calm and rooted hope.

“Still, Flowing” begins with Capullo, a track that deals with themes of parenthood and family life, even containing a sample from Brandon’s daughter playing in the background during the COVID lockdown. The slowly developing piece lingers with a floaty Hip Hop beat and eventually morphs into an Afro-Cuban rhythmic coda. Featuring his partner and influential Canadian-based Colombian-born...  more

Mas Aya - Vamos Pa' Lante (feat. Lido Pimienta)

Taken from the album 'Live Amsterdam / Berlin' a set of live recordings drawing from a series of performances by Stefan Christoff in 2023, shaped by live experimentations and improvisations.

For this album the first recording is from a live show in Amsterdam and was produced and mixed by Floyd Atema from Katzwijm studio. The concert was hosted by OCCii and took place at Willem de Zwijgerkerk church. The recording from Berlin was produced and mixed by Rabih Beaini from a live show at Morphine Raum studios. The third recording was from a concert at 8EAST in Vancouver, recorded by Brent Cross.

“What I remember most vividly about this concert was the way that Stefan’s mesmerising piano compositions cultivated a fecund quality of intention and attention among those of us in the audience. It felt as if our enchantment with the music was itself a strange collectively-played instrument, and we were collaborating with Stefan. We were making something together we could not have imagined before we made it, that we didn’t even know we knew how to make. " – Max Haiven

From Montreal To Beirut To Gaza
To the rest of the world [and/or vice versa]

This mix brings together conversations, with artists within the context of musical dialogues that I am playing on and also exchanges with folks in different corners of the world who are working to create space for autonomous musical expression. I feel that these dialogues and connections with folks in different corners of the planet speak to potential sparks of solidarity across borders at a grassroots level. I am happy to share this mix for radio karantina in Beirut, thank you for listening. - Stefan Christoff
