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

his week’s mix comes from Balamii resident, Coop Audio affiliate and Free Range founder Donwella. Informed by her time living in South Africa and London, Donwella’s eclectic sonic palette has been blowing us away each and every month on her regular self-titled show on Balamii.

As well as broadcasting, Donwella selects as part of the Coop Audio collective, a non-profit soundsystem group based between London and Bristol, and also runs Free Range, a monthly party in London featuring some of the best selectors the UK has to offer.

This week, we're starting the week off just right...this mix does it all:

“Ascending and descending through a spectrum genres, from hip-hop, to neosoul, funk, house, broken beat, garage – with jazz as the thread that flows through it all! Topping and tailing with some beautiful South African Jazz, starting at the 70s and ending at the present day.”
