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

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.

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.

Prazeres Interrompidos #369: Julian T. Jackson - France on Trial: The Case of Marshal Pétain (2023)

One of the great contemporary historians of France on one of the most controversial periods of twentieth-century French historyFew images more shocked the French population during the Occupation than the photograph of Marshal Philippe Pétain - the great French hero of the First World War - shaking the hand of Hitler on 20 October 1940. In a radio speech after this meeting, Pétain told the French people that he was 'entering down the road of collaboration'. He ended with the 'This is my policy. My ministers are responsible to me. It is I alone who will be judged by History.' Five years later, in July 1945, the hour of judgement - if not yet the judgement of History - arrived. Pétain was brought before a specially created High Court to answer for his conduct between the signing of the armistice with Germany in June 1940 and the Liberation of France in August 1944.Julian Jackson uses Pétain's three-week trial as a lens through which to examine the central crisis of twentieth-century French history - the defeat of 1940, the signing of the armistice and Vichy's policy of collaboration - what the main prosecutor Mornet called 'four years to erase from our history'. As head of the Vichy regime in the Second, Pétain became one of France's most notorious public figures, and the lightening-rod for collective guilt and retribution immediately after the Second World War. In France on Trial Jackson blends politics and personal drama to explore how different national factions sought to try to claim the past, or establish their interpretation of it, as a way of claiming the present and future.
