Episode 4_Trance and Ritual Music: 
Re-broadcast of two programs created in the 70s by Annea Lockwood+recent interview

Between 1969-1970 Annea Lockwood edited 11 (or so? Number is unknown) radio programs for the BBC radio 3. The programs were produced by Madeau Stewart, and broadcasted as intermission programs during live concert intermissions. We are bringing here two of the programs in their full length, as broadcasted, with the original introductions by Lockwood. Following the two programs is a short interview recorded on Feb 25 2022, reflecting on those issues some 50+ years later. 

With gratitude to Charles Amirkhanian at KPFA in Berkeley who digitized those programs and made them available.

---notes from Annea Lockwood:

The original broadcast date for this program: BBC Radio 3 is March 15, 1970	
Trance and Ritual Music by Annea Lockwood, Program 3	

Intro: “This is witchcraft music. The music of spirit healings, exorcisms, secret mystic societies and of senses. The invocation of gods, health and life. People form rituals, their music, and its momentum within themselves. Form their gods in their minds; use their music to carry them from one self through to another, more buried self. In the end, it is ourselves who we invoke.”

Warning for impending ceremony of flying witches, New Guinea -- Malayan black magic healing ceremony -- Shaman exorcism Korea -- Himalayan tribesmen blowing silver horns, India – A Spirit seance in British Guiana -- Malayan magic religious ceremony -- Rites of the Nightwatchers of Porto Novo, French West Africa, with sounds of glass from ‘The Glass World of Anna Lockwood’.

The original broadcast date for this program: BBC Radio 3 is April 23, 1970	
Trance and Ritual Music by Annea Lockwood, Program 5	

Intro: “In the end, there are no listeners. At a concert, you are either in the hall, aware of people and extraneous noises, or within the space created by the music. In these rituals and ceremonies, all are blended with each other; their hearts with the drumming and all its subtleties; the rhythm of the brain with the pulsing of a single note, somewhere. The people are the action, are the sound, and invocation.”

Indian lullaby, Columbia -- Sacred flute music, New Guinea -- Dance of the Dusun tribe, North Borneo -- Bell from Buddhist monastery, Burma -- Indian Jal Tarang solo -- Fish dance, Philippines -- Morning call to prayer, Malaya -- Nagaswaram solo, India with sounds of glass from ‘The Glass World of Anna Lockwood’.

In 2008, I started researching and documenting the case of children who immigrate to Europe on their own. At first I focused on immigrant children who are about to be or have just turned 18 (that is, adults in the eyes of the law), and who live on the streets of Spain.
This subject group clarifies the absurd and legal contempt of the state of Spain, and the European Union as a whole, towards migrant children: unaccompanied migrant children. Later I got to know boys and girls who immigrated to Europe and worked in prostitution. 'One blanket lost' is my first radio work from 2010 which I produced in the Canary Islands, for the ORF radioart show Kunstradio.

The trade in Nigerian girls for prostitution in Spain has existed since the early 1990s, and it often involves long crossings through the Algerian and Moroccan deserts. "One blanket lost", a common phrase among the traders, 'eulogizes' the loss of the blankets in which they buried girls who died on the way. Erica, the only survivor in the boat that made it to Spanish waters, lost her baby and her boyfriend at sea. After a brief recovery, she began to pay off her debt of 42,000 Euro to her madam.

With the participation of Erica Osmavegia, Happy, Rita, and Norberto Fresno from the organization Acción en red-Canaries.
Thanks to Carlos Harka from Centro Lugo-Cáritas, and Ms. Mila Barrera. Mixing and Mastering: Paul Kendall.

Later in the show - 'Shuffering and Shmiling'(1977) by Afro-beat pioneer and Nigerian activist Fela Kuti.

This program is dedicated to our bros asylum seekers who are imprisoned without trial and without a release date at the HOLOT detention center in the desert of Palestine-Israel. May we get to adopt you into our hearts as you do when we come to Africa, to get to know each other, learn, share, merge! This is our personal responsibility. Meira 

"The Great Hospitality Law - an unconditional, personal and universal law, which offers open borders to anyone, anyone else, anyone who might come, without asking and without the need to identify who they are and where they came from." Jacques Derrida
