Our land is still whole with wisdom and wealth
It brings with energy beauty and health
Three billion of us dreaming together

Action is PEACE.

All we are saying is GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread PEACE
Shed light in darkness
IMAGINE PEACE

All we are saying is GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
All we are saying is GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

Empire Of The Sun - We are the people (Donatello Radio version)

"Night Song" is part of series 2 of the Real World Gold re-issued albums - released 30th July.

The great – and ridiculously prolific – Pakistani qawwali singer had already recorded half a dozen albums for Real World when he delivered this peach in 1996. Effectively the sequel to 1990’s classic Mustt Mustt, Nusrat is here reunited with the Canadian musician/producer Michael Brook and once again the partnership tests the emotional boundaries of the human voice. Timeless, state-less and, nearly two decades on, ageless. It wasn’t made in Detroit or Memphis, but this truly is soul music.
“An album for the ages, defying genre and solidifying Khan’s stature as one of the world’s pre-eminent singers” – Billboard

"The Origins of Rhythm"
by Paolo Pietropaolo, 2011

Anytime I take the bus these days I notice the unsynchronized wobble of nodding heads, the arrhythmic patter of tapping feet: an outward indication that many of my fellow passengers are locked into private worlds, captive to personal soundtracks.

It’s curious that we so often listen to music as a way to block out the world, since many scientists now believe that music evolved as a way to bring humans together and to help societies function harmoniously. In The Origins of Music, biologist Walter J. Freeman makes the case that “music together with dance have co-evolved biologically and culturally to serve as a technology of social bonding.”

In some cultures, there are no separate words for “dance” and “music”. They are one and the same. That’s always rung true to me, even when swaying and otherwise reacting with my body to classical music, in overbearing concert halls, while feeling the disapproving stares of my neighbours.

I recently produced a series of documentaries about Indian music called The Subcontinental. One of the things that struck me was how much Indian music ties itself to the body with its rhythms. And dance is a big part of Indian music, from folk music like bhangra to the great classical dance traditions like Bharatnatyam, to the modern Bollywood stage.

I’ve long loved Indian music, and one of the reasons is because it always reminds me how much music is of our bodies as well as our minds.

In seeking to understand the origins of music, scientists like Freeman are analyzing the activities of our brains as we sing, dance, play or listen. (Their fascinating search inspired another documentary series called The Nerve.)

But there are other stories, old stories about the origins of music - perhaps none older than the Hindu story of the dances of Shiva and Parvati.

In this sonic exploration of the origins of rhythm, the great tabla master Ustad Zakir Hussain tells that story.

I think of this piece as a “scored story”, somewhere between traditional audio storytelling, and a musical composition with lyrics. In addition to Ustad Hussain, you’ll hear the voices of filmmaker Deepa Mehta and Bollywood choreographer Shiamak Davar. As well, you’ll hear the sounds of Bollywood movie dance rehearsals led by Shiamak, and the sounds of the very first college-level Bhangra dance course offered in North America, underway right now at Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University and taught by Raakhi Sinha.

Taking these words and sounds, and adding others they suggest, I’ve attempted to celebrate the importance of dance - and its implication of people moving together - to the origins of music.
