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.

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

Meta_ - Fuego Sagrado (2023) (single)

Meta_ is Mariana Bragada on the quest to find her inner roots.
She is a singer, composer and producer from Trás-os-Montes (North Portugal Region) to share the connection between ancestral wisdom and unite it with electronic music.

Meta_ will release her debut album XIV- A Integração in May 2023 with the Argentinian Label ShikaShika, premiering it in Primavera Sound Porto in June.

She has been weaving her sound tapestry alongside the trips in Europe, where she did an European Tour, and South America, where she traveled to explore the self and to work for Live Sound in a theater play. She aims to reimagine sound without
borders, in between feelings and the story--telling of her hardships and fantasies,
creating a hybrid universe of organic and electronic sounds.

With her voice as the main instrument, the interdisciplinary artist has been playing
solo shows since 2017 and will now bring a new format to the shows, with 2 more
musicians on stage. Festival da Canção (Portuguese Eurovision Song Contest), NOS Alive, WestWayLab, Festival Bons Sons, TedX and SofarSounds, have been a few places where Meta_ has shared her magic.

In 2022 she also played in Rio Loco Fes- tival (Toulouse, France), Urkult Festival (Sweden) and showcase festival Mumi (Galiza, Spain).

She has collaborated with Xinobi in his newest album Balsame released in April 2022, with two songs- Mujer and La Tormenta, being now part of the Live Band of Xinobi.

With Xinobi, Meta_ has played in Europavox (France), MeoKalorama (Portugal) and played for ArteConcert.

In 2022 Meta_ sang in the movie Lobo e Cão by Cláudia Varejão and in early 2023 Meta_ was part of Invencível Armada as an actress.

Besides her project she also has been doing sound design for theatre plays for 5 years. Meta_ has previously collaborated with OctaPush (PT) FOQUE (PT), Bom Beijo (SE), Temple Rat (Shanghai, China). Meta has also been invited to sing with: Papercutz (PT), Luíz Gabriel Lopes (BR) and LaBaq (BR).

Meta_ - Fuego Sagrado (2023) (single)

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.

Prayer For Palestine - Rafa Aslan for Radio al Hara

Sequence of extracts played in rehearsal in preparation for our first live performance. 
This piece was built for @radioalhara
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.

Fumaça #12: Aquilo é a Europa Ep. 3: Paolo (Série 3/3)

DESCRIÇÃO

Em 2017, Paolo Borromeo viu um anúncio sobre Vistos Gold em Portugal e enviou um email a David Poston, a perguntar como funcionava o programa. Foi aí que tudo começou. Hoje, detém um apartamento na Baixa de Lisboa, um prédio no Bairro Alto e a autorização de residência que tantos imigrantes indocumentados desesperam por receber. “Paolo” é a terceira parte da série “Aquilo é a Europa”. Ouve aqui.

A music experience in the Lusophone countries(Angola,Brazil,Cabo Verde,Guinea Bissau,Sao Tome & Principe)
The term Lusophone (Portuguese: Lusofonia) :
"Luso-" derives from the Latin term for an area roughly corresponding to modern Portugal, called Lusitania.
"-phone" derives from the Ancient Greek word φωνή (phōnē), meaning "voice".
The Lusophone world is mainly a legacy of the Portuguese Empire, although Portuguese diaspora and Brazilian diaspora communities have also played a role in spreading the Portuguese language.
