A one hour story made especially for recordat #0031 by @checkpoint303, aired first on May 15th, 2021 as part of the Sonic Liberation Front on @radioalhara, an initiative for Palestine by a group of audio platforms and sound artists who came together to unify their sound for Palestine and protest against the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Using site recordings predominantly from Palestine and the Arab world, Checkpoint 303 constructs soundscapes that weave cinematic audio with experimental sound processing and complex rhythms. Through its compositions, collected sounds and noise, Checkpoint 303 spreads a message of peace and a call for the respect of human rights. Contrasting with the mainstream media's exclusive depiction of violence and suffering in the middle-east, CP-303's sound collages also report on the heroic hope that subsists in the region as well as the seemingly banal but ever so meaningful little things that embody a daily search for normality in a state of emergency.

This is the 31st session of a series of sessions Recordat is hosting on Radio Alhara every other Sunday.

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

This fourth episode of Turbo Sud on @radioalhara is an hour of South Italian acoustic guitar songs by songwriters, sonaturi, cantastorie e cantori, such as the legendary Sicilian singer Rosa Balistreri, pop star Domenico Modugno, and a little-known Calabrian Arbëreshë music group called Moti I Parë. The show groups together a collection of both well-known and rare records mostly from the 60s and 70s with very different themes, such as love, the struggle of South Italian's working class and the hardship and nostalgia of emigrants.

Turbo Sud / Radio Alhara (Chitarra e voce) 10th July 2023

The show delves into a peculiar niche of South Italian music repertoires exploring themes connected to the life of donkeys and horses. Expect old songs tipically recited by horse cart drivers in the streets of places such as Napoli, Palermo, and Salento, as well as a selection of other sort of songs entirely dedicated to the life of the two species.

The mix will explore the intricate relationship between man and these animals, the hardships of farmers life in post-war Italy and the love for these creatures, but also their dreadful exploitation that used to take place in mines and fields, or still happening in contemporary clandestine horse racing.

We decided to incorporate only samples from Palestinian artists, as well as voice inserts from journalists and/or victims. 
As a Muslim, Sara chose to include a Quranic verse "Israel" to pray for all the innocents. 
We deliberately observed a minute of silence after the prayer for reflection and, of course, to avoid blasphemy.

Mais um episódio que converso com vocês sobre um projeto maravilhoso que foi o CD COLLECTIU. Esse termo em occitano pode ser traduzido para o português como COLETIVO. Foram muitas viagens ao sul da França, principalmente, chegando até à Itália realizando parcerias com bandas e artistas que se relacionam com a cultura occitana. O resultado é um CD que trata de diálogos entre culturas. Instrumentos, línguas, lugares, cidades e culturas em diálogos. Inesquecível em minha carreira como pesquisador e artista.
