Fact Mix 818: quest?onmarq (Jul '21)

This session will look at the complicated relationship between the state and different music scenes/communities, and the different possible routes to navigate these complexities. In Manipur, for example, music becomes a way to document and represent the human toll of insurgency and counter-insurgency in ways that are less likely to be censored by the state, while in Bangladesh, Baul musicians have been targeted by both radical Islamists and the government for their syncretic, unorthodox views on Islam and society. There’s also the political dimension of what music gets support from the state, and what effect that has on the content and narratives around that music, especially in the case of oral traditions. How do activists and politically minded musicians, especially those critical of the state, find ways to get their message across while avoiding state action? At the same time, how do cultural activists, ethnographers and those involved in the music industry deal with the appropriation and co-option of originally subversive musical traditions by the state or its surrogates in the favour of capitalism, nationalism and soft power? What are the various degrees of risk associated with being a musician who performs political roles?
The episode features Angarika Guha from Bengaluru-based NGO Maraa and Bangladeshi pop singer and scholar Shayan

Episode 2: The Carrot And The Stick

Social and protest movements tend to inspire a flurry of protest music and performance, but not all protest songs are created equal. Certain songs have the power to capture the imagination in unprecedented ways, either by bringing different people together as a social/political community, urging them to action, or commemorating the revolutionary and egalitarian ideals of a particular movement. Examples include Victor Jara’s Estadio Chile, penned in the days before his torture and execution by the Chilean Army, which has become a symbol of Chileans’ defiance in the face of tyranny. Or Inno Della Resistenza by the Choir of FLN Fighters, a song of the rebellion that became Algeria’s national anthem and “helped crystallize the concept of a nation,” according to Nabil Boudraa. For this session, we’ll invite our experts to present a key song from social/political movements in their territories that had an oversized impact and dissect their background and influence, with an eye on the lessons that contemporary cultural activists can draw from this history. 
The episode features Sumangala Damodaran, Akhu Chingangbam, Tenma

About the cd:
A superb surprise episode for 041 in the series. Massive thanks to Nick Sneddon for sending over some epic CDs recently. We are really happy to feature more downtempo CDs... it feels like the recovery soundtrack to countless nights clubbing and those sun kissed days that followed (well maybe not so much if you grew up in the UK).

Considering this came out in 1996, it features some simply gorgeous deep house and laid back electronic which go onto cement why DJ Harvey is a cult dj amongst fans and fellow spinners. It's a pleasure not just remember my own collection, but have other people send in theirs. And it's even better discovering that there's hundreds of other classics out there which need to be shared with everyone. Thanks again for the good vibes.

Kampire x Worldwide Thing


Cool are the ways
Of a wicked smile
To receive it
Its crooked and side ways
Is misleading 

You can vouch for
That man of years
To believe him
His self concerned ways 
You say you're no wise guy

In and out from
The sham of layers
We protect our disguise
We play fools 
We know we're impostors

We can decorate 
And smooth our colour
Worm our way into lives 
With words that 
Speak of nothing real

Now come upon 
A blazing mirror 
Stare your mask down
Reveal your star self 
There's no one looking here

Live at National Sawdust NYC - https://youtu.be/ndOGoepseHs
Singer, song-writer, producer and visual artist VANDANA makes mesmeric left-field avant-pop that fuses elements of synth-wave electronica and experimental form music. Expanding on her explorations of womanhood that reflect her Indian roots, her intricate music comes to life via slow dripping analog synths and emotional song writing, creating an atmosphere that's singular and deeply moody.
