We are sharing today a new other people mix by journalist, community organizer and musician Spirodon from Free City Radio in Montreal. 

His words on the mix: This is a mix of local artists living and working in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. It highlights artists that I have gotten the chance to work with directly around the intersections of art and social activism on a variety of fronts. All these artists have contributed in various ways to efforts to sustain and build a healthy, inclusive and transformative network for the arts in the city, while also working to explore the ways that artists can directly contribute to concrete struggles for change. Particularly I got the chance to work with these artists around the building of the Artists Against Apartheid concert series in solidarity with the BDS Movement to support Palestinian freedom. Others within this mix I have worked on artistic initiatives to support struggles for migrant justice and for the rights of undocumented people locally, particularly around the Immigrant Workers Centre. Also I selected artists who have been vocal against systemic racism and police killings for years, linked to community work over generations to build community power. Finally, I just want to say that all of these tracks are beautiful! Thanks for listening.

OP 𓅛 mix 27 - Spirodon

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this @ednamartinezdj . Made a mix with songs that say more than anything I could write really.....Going to play two songs I wrote a while ago, one which I performed live in January 2020 at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago and another which was made shortly after, they're both influenced by what was taking place in Chile at the time which mirrors in some ways what we are seeing in Colombia now. As some of you may know, since the end of april in Colombia there have been more than 2,000 cases of police violence against protesters, 33 victims of eye injuries and more than 40 civilians killed by the police. Since the beginning of the year more than 60 rights defenders have been assasinated, and among them 20 were indigenous leaders. Since 2016, over 400 human rights defenders have been killed. In all this darkness, there may be some hope that the protests can create meaningful change. Last Sunday, Chileans elected a new group of citizens who will write a new constitution for the country. This was one of the core demands of the huge protests of 2019/2020.  It will be the first anywhere in the world to be written by an equal number of men and women and it will replace the constitution that has been in place since the years of the military dictatorship.  The only reason this moment of hope is possible in Chile is because of the incredible social movements that rose up to demand change. As I've said elsewhere, the courage and determination of Chilean students, activists, protesters, writers, artists has been astounding and they have/are shifted/shifting the political landscape and will continue to do so. In the past month I've heard stories of Colombian protesters taking cues from Chilean protesters and beautiful solidarity between Colombians and Palestinians also. We have so much to learn from each other. May this solidarity and interconnectedness bring us better days and in the meantime may music sustain us and nourish us. Much love to you all ♡♡♡♡ - May 22nd 2021

Now this is something special: While our mixes normally aim at an average length of one hour, Pingipung artist (Mameen 3) and veteran leftfield selector soFa elsewhere presents almost 3,5 hours of pure joy. Here is what he says himself about this beauty:

"This collection of tracks has been inspired by a psychedelic trip near a lake in Portugal last year. It's meant to be the soundtrack of a sunny and funny afternoon of visual hallucinations and much laughing somewhere near water. Along the way it will also serve a normal day of holidays in the sun. Sip a cocktail near the beach and let yourself fade away with this magic tropical potpourri. Expect oddities from the most diverse corners in time and space."

This album was born from the heart of Syrian pain — from a land that still whispers life despite all the sorrow.
The music here is more than just sound; it’s a cry, a memory, a heartbeat of a nation still standing through the wounds.
It rose from Syria — from the ruins and smoke — from voices tired of war but still dreaming of peace.

The sound is epic and cinematic, blending orchestral depth with choral emotion.
Each track carries a grand, melancholic soul — dark yet alive, sorrowful yet powerful.
This is the music of a people who refused to surrender, who lost so much yet still sing for love, for return, and for light

هذا الألبوم خرج من قلب الوجع السوري، من أرضٍ كانت تهتف للحياة رغم كل الألم.
الموسيقا هون ما هي مجرد نوتات… هي صرخة، هي ذكرى، هي نبض وطن ما زال واقف رغم الجراح.
طلعت الموسيقا من سوريا، من بين الركام والدخان، من صدى الأصوات اللي تعبت من الحروب بس بعدها بتحلم بالسلام.

الألحان ملحمية الطابع، فيها إيقاعات سينمائية تشبه مشاهد الألم والصمود، تمتزج فيها الأوركسترا بالعُمق العاطفي للكورال، ليولد صوت واحد… عظيم، حزين، وسوداوي، لكنه مليان حياة.
إنها موسيقا تحكي عن وطن ما استسلم، عن ناس فقدت كتير، بس بعدها بتغني للحب والرجعة والنور.

اختلافنا جمال، مو سبب قتال  Our differences are beauty, not a reason for fight
