Book Timo Maas: https://timesartists.com/timo-maas/ Timo Maas is a storyteller. For him, it's never about back-to-back bangers or brainless hits, but about crafting, building, teasing and eventually pleasing. From hefty concrete funk to stripped-back and brain-altering techno via psychedelic synths stronger than any drug, he knows exactly what to play and when. He has done so at every major club and festival on the planet from Tomorrowland to Kazantip, Creamfields to Coachella, while for 17 years during the golden years of Ibiza's Circoloco party at DC10 he was a regular guest, which is a testament to the fact that he has always stayed ahead of the times. Two-time Grammy Award-nominated Timo has made every shade of electronic music from famous remixes of Azzido Da Bass and Depeche Mode, leftfield reworks of Afro-Peruvian group Novalima and Indonesian all-female heavy metal band Voice of Baceprot via work with pop greats like Paul McCartney, Madonna and Placebo. But his pure love of techno keeps him coming back to his most famous sound. It's all united by his ability to craft weighty bass and rolling drums that lock you in. To dream up unusual breakdowns, freaky vocal treatments and deftly designed details that sound like nothing else. He has released on majors like Warner and Virgin and underground staples like Stripped Down Records, Cocoon, Mobilee, Tenampa and Last Night On Earth. But whatever he does and wherever he does it, Timo is always investigating new musical grounds.

Lucha Reyes was one of Peru's greatest singers. She was born into poverty in 1936 and fought terrible health problems and racism throughout her life. But it didn't stop her becoming a star of Peruvian Creole music - a fusion of waltzes, Andean and Afro-Peruvian styles. In the early 1970s she recorded hits including Regresa and Tu Voz. One of the few black Peruvian celebrities of her era, she was a trailblazer for black women in the country. Polo Bances played the saxophone in her band, accompanying her on many of her greatest records. He celebrates her life with Ben Henderson.(Photo: Lucha Reyes. Credit: Javier Ponce Gambirazio)

In the episode, we welcome Dr. Eshe Lewis to discuss her life and learnings as an activist, anthropologist, and storyteller. Eshe walks us through glimpses of her time with Afro-Peruvian women as part of her doctoral research and how this experience transfigured beyond the siloed parameters of academic study into personal, historical, and political realms. Eshe's conscious intent of questioning, complicating, and re-positioning anthropology not only as an academic discipline, but a field of ethical practice, casts an inspirational light on the role and reachability of storytelling. Join us as she voices this critical exposure of in-between, multi/cross-lingual modes of communicating—not only as a means of empowerment but as an invitation to lean into joy and awe.

Afro-Peruvian soundsystem Novalima celebrate their 20th anniversary with a tour that kicks off in Los Angeles this Thursday, and they have released a brand new track that will get your hips swaying and feet dancing. “El Tiempo,” which translates from Spanish to “time” or “the weather,” features the voice of Brazilian cellist and singer/songwriter Dom La Nena, who sings in Spanish. 

In this episode, Renzo Aroni (@renzoaronis) speaks with Araceli Poma and Matt Geraghty. They are the Afro-Andean Funk based in New York City and have just released their second album, Flower on Fire. For their first album, The Sacred Leaf, they were nominated for the 2022 Latin Grammy. The duo is unique in their commitment to rescuing, valuing, and promoting Indigenous-rooted songs, traditions, and cultures from the Andean, Amazonian, and Afro-Peruvian communities and bringing into global merging music. We discuss three powerful, symbolic, and multilingual songs: “La Luchadora del Ande”  from the first album, and “Somos Latinoamérica” and “Kukama” from the second album. In the show, you will listen to these songs. These songs are personal and societal for the duo. There is a theme of social and environmental justice and Indigenous song revival, like in the Kukama language, which is highly endangered because all the estimated 1500 remaining speakers are older adults dispersed in small communities in the Peruvian Amazon. You can buy Flower on Fire here. If you're going to be near Manhattan on July 9 at 4:30 PM, check out their free outdoor concert in Lincoln Center  *** En este episodio, Renzo Aroni (renzo.aroni) conversa con Araceli Poma y Matt Geraghty. Ellos son el dúo Afro-Andean Funk con sede en la ciudad de Nueva York y acaban de lanzar su segundo álbum, Flower on Fire. Por su primer álbum, The Sacred Leaf, fueron nominados al Latin Grammy 2022. El dúo es único en su compromiso por rescatar, valorar y promover canciones, tradiciones y culturas de comunidades indígenas, andinas, amazónicas y afroperuanas para hacerla visible como parte de una música global. Analizamos tres canciones que son las más representativas, vigorosas y multilingües: “La Luchadora del Ande” del primer disco, y “Somos Latinoamérica” y “Kukama” del segundo álbum. En el show, escucharán estas canciones, que son muy personales y sociales para el dúo. Hay un tema de justicia social y ambiental y la reivindicación de la música indígena, como en la lengua kukama, que está en grave peligro porque los cerca de 1500 hablantes son adultos mayores dispersos en pequeñas comunidades en la Amazonía peruana.

Mixtape 58 The new mixtape instalment comes from Ale Hop(aka Alejandra Cardenas) and Laura Robles. Cárdenas is a Berlin-based artist, researcher, and experimental instrumentalist from Lima, Peru. Earlier this year, together with Laura Robles (a percussionist and bassist formed from a very young age in the rich Afro-Peruvian and Cuban musical traditions and who also grew up in Lima), they released one of the most exciting albums of the year so far, Agua dulce (Buh Records, 2023). This mix takes on and reflects on the artists' inspiration for and during the Agua Dulce album production. The album is titled after the most popular beach in Lima, agua dulce, near where both artists lived during their childhood, houses apart, without ever meeting one another. Years later, the pair met and joined forces, with Robles on a self-built electric cajón and Cárdenas on electric guitar and electronics. With this album, both artists explore rhythmical structures that form the backbone of the complex Afro-Peruvian music and dance traditions – a broad term used for the various musical developments that occurred in the last two centuries at the shores of the Peruvian Pacific. The cajón originated in coastal Peru as a percussion instrument that the black slaves created from wooden fruit boxes when foot drums were banned at the end of the Spanish colonial era in the 19th century. And it was form Perú that the cajón was posterioly introduced into flamenco. From its birth, the cajón was a symbol of resistance, experimentation and transformation. Robles and Cárdenas strived to maintain the instrument's spirit and qualities by pushing the boundaries of its sound into the future. The duo's mission isn't merely capturing something sonically futuristic but is primarily concerned with shaking off the dust: These rhythms have become ossified nowadays, heard in Peruvian folklore shows and on the ‘global music' circuit, but our desire is to experiment and do something more radical with them, connecting to the instruments more radical past, comments Cárdenas. At the same time, this type of percussive instruments infuse the music with a very special physicality and spirituality; the percussion sounds entuned with our heartbeats. Both Robles and Cárdenas chatted to us about the meaning and influence of the cajón on their work. Finally, the mix they have put together for us is a rare combination of very personal influences from each of them, with influences that informed the project and songs they find interesting from Peru.

Susana Baca - "Sorongo" from the 2021 album Palabras Urgentes on Real World Records. Singer, musicologist, writer, three-time Latin Grammy winner, and a former Minister of Culture in her native Peru, Susana Baca has been a treasure to the Peruvian people for five decades now. A champion of the revival of Afro-Peruvian music, Baca's latest album “Palabras Urgentes,” is an enthralling 10 song set that pays homage to the heritage and tradition of those that once fought for a better world and features production by Snarky Puppy's Michael League.  The record's lead single and our Song of the Day, “Sorongo,” is Baca's take on a song by salsa composer Tite Curet Alonso. Alonso was a prolific writer, originally from Puerto Rico, who penned more than 2,000 songs in a thirty year career and “Sorongo” was first released by his friend Rafael Cortijo Y Su Bonche in the late 1960s. More recently the song was recorded by Calle 13 (who also collaborated with Susana Baca on the Latin Grammy-winning song “Latinoamerica.”) “Within ‘Sorongo', one can find intuition, strength, feeling and enunciation,” says Baca of the song. “I spent many nights trying to find the right way of singing ‘Sorongo'… in the end it is only with the presence of the musicians that accompanied me that it found vitality. I am sure that Sorongo' is faith found at the crossroad between feelings and rhythm.” Michael League added: “Sorongo is a very interesting track because of its history with Calle 13 and because it's a powerhouse track on a record that doesn't really have powerhouse tracks. This is like a freight train and stands apart from the rest of the record in that way but Susana was really, really adamant about feeling Africa in Sorongo, so we made a lot of really interesting decisions during the recording process about textures and sounds and structure to make you feel the connection between the sugar fields in Peru and the African roots of the people who were enslaved and working them.” Read the full post on KEXP.org Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Teacher, folklorist, three-time Latin Grammy winner, and a former Minister of Culture in her native Peru, Susana Baca heralds the revival of Afro-Peruvian music. Baca's forthcoming album “Palabras Urgentes,” or Spanish for “Urgent Words,” (out Oct. 8) is a captivating collection produced by Snarky Puppy's Michael League.

Yanna - "Marcaperu," a 2020 self-released single. "My friends take care of me / Not the police" On her debut single "Marcaperu," Afro-Peruvian artist Yanna (real name: Brenda Carpio) uses her voice to denounce the injustices she sees around her: racism, discrimination, and violence.  Raised in the San Martín de Porres district of Lima, Peru, Yanna moved to France to study International Business Administration and instead, fell in love with hip hop.  "When I came back, it was a shock," she toldEl Comercio. "Having left and identified as a black and empowered woman from that Afro side was reduced to the fact that people on the street were quite violent and they looked at me, but not in a positive way, they made fun of my hair and my features.” She continued, "I felt that being abroad I was treated better than being in my own country. I know people who have gone through this misogynistic, sexist, and abusive violence. I wanted to highlight and put these issues on the table."

After reading the article Life as a Black Equestrian on Chronicle of the Horse and realizing that we lived right across the ocean from each other as the crow flies and had spent time in the same barns growing up, I knew I needed to reach out to fellow horse lover Stephanie Kallstrom. I am deeply appreciative to Stephanie for this opportunity to have this important conversation and to continue the discussion around diversity and inclusion within the horse industry, and to begin the essential conversation about anti-racism, the impact of racial trauma, and how we can begin to adopt a trauma-informed approach in barn cultures, horse communities and beyond. This may not be an easy podcast to listen to, as the subject matter can be challenging, but I believe that awareness and knowledge is healing, and just like with horses, there is always more to learn and ways to do better (you'll experience my own personal learning process happening throughout the podcast). Thanks for listening.  From Stephanie: I'm a forever west Coast stereotype. I'm a dedicated daily power yogi, I like to hike with my dogs, be at the dog beach, am nearly vegan, an equestrian (hunter princess) and case manage for a shelter on the Downtown Eastside. Im Peruvian born and adopted (Afro-Peruvian, Nigerian heritage). I am also a survivor of trauma which has led me to strongly believe in trauma informed care an communication in order to serve all humans with dignity. I'm a strong advocate for marginalized people and personally and professionally work for equality for all. My favorite color is pink and you can always win me over with vegan baking of any kind and compassion for other human beings.

Filmmaker and producer Gabriela Watson-Burkett makes work to connect people across the African diaspora. Her first film, Nosotros Afroperuanos, discusses Black history in Peru and its erasure. Her second film, Baobab Flowers, draws parallels between a Black woman educator in São Paulo, Brazil and a Black woman educator in Philadelphia. Her most recent project, ¡Presente! Media, is an activist media organization she co-founded with two other Latinas. In part one of this two-part interview, we discuss her experience growing up Afro-Peruvian in Brazil and covering Brazil's immigrant communities as part of one of her (many) internships in broadcast journalism. Keep an ear out for part two, coming later this month! (Photo by Scott Burkett) Read the transcript at scribd.com/artactivistnia. Support the podcast at patreon.com/artactivistnia.

As an Afro Peruvian person living in the Canadian diaspora, Roxana Escobar Ñañes explains the concepts of human geography as a point of entry to understand how our lives are shaped by spaces and how our social interactions are produced. She explores Afro Peruvian communities as domestic spaces for healing and connection. She argues that “these spaces become places because we give them meanings and emotional attachments and we transform them.” Also, Roxana posits that although being black became an archetype of negativity that haunts people’s lives, blackness becomes the center of human geographies - Blackness becomes healing. She finishes her talk by encouraging us to celebrate black identities and Afrolatinidad in which we enjoy the company of others in relation to our communities as we support each other when it comes to challenging racism, machismo and patriarchal mindsets in Latinamerica as a revolutionary act. * Bio: Roxana Escobar Ñañes is an Afro-Peruvian Ph.D. student in the geography department at the University of Toronto in Canada. She is an activist and scholar who investigates the relationship between human bodies/geographies of Afro-descendants’ rights in Canada and Latin America. * Sources: Escobar, M.R.

Roman Rojas of the Eastside Punks Podcast stopped by Eric Kurimski’s house in New York City to talk for a while and hear him play. Eric is a guitarrist that has spent years perfecting and studying Afro Peruvian music. "The spectacular playing and skillful blend of acoustic and electric tones bring authority to this brilliant co-mingling of (jazz and Afro Peruvian) traditions that are, after all, rooted in the same musical heritage."  - Guitar Player Magazine (Jan '09)  "...2008 will be remembered as the year that Latin Jazz officially stepped outside the authority of Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, and leading the charge is Eric Kurimski’s outstanding Afro- Peruvian Jazz album Réplica."  - Latin Jazz Corner  "The true essence of the Peruvian Cajon (box) walks hand and hand with the modern Jazz Guitar through the streets of New York."  - Rafael Santa Cruz (www.cajonperuano.org)  “...elaborate guitar work that goes beyond the usual accompaniment found in many Afro- Peruvian bands.”  - Angel Romero (www.worldmusiccentral.org)

Damien is originally from Peru, and grew up in Southern CA raised in the Foursquare evangelical faith tradition. He eventually found himself in Nashville for his Masters of Divinity at Vanderbilt Divinity School concentrating in Latin American Studies, Religion and the Arts, as well as Gender and Sexuality studies. Damien is a founding member of The Audre Lorde Project’s TransJustice in New York City, and collectively organized the first ever Trans Day of Action for Social and Economic Justice in New York. Damien has also worked in the Hospitality Industry for 15 years, from the Gramercy Park hotel restaurant in New York to a spot I love to visit called Pinewood Social here in Nashville. Damien identifies as queer and his gender pronouns are he/him/his. From helping form a church as a child, to finding church in queer activist spaces as an adult, Damien finds hope in places both religious and secular. He reflects on his Afro-Peruvian heritage and embodied memory which has become the focus of his studies of Peruvian culture and how dance has been a form of worship for centuries and continues to be today. Connect with Damien on Instagram @damienpascal. We discuss the difference between "queer" and "bi/pan/fluid" at the top of the show. Here are some definitions to help from the Human Rights Campaign: Queer: A term people often use to express fluid identities and orientations. Often used interchangeably with "LGBTQ." Bi: Emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to more than one sex, gender or gender identity though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree. Pan: Describes someone who has the potential for emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree. And being "fluid" recognizes that your attractions and orientation may change. We also discuss different religious practices, like Santería, an originally African religion, and the Foursquare Church which developed out of mission-work abroad and evangelism in the US.

Broadcaster Betto Arcos reports from Lima, including music from inside a traditional Peña bar, the amazing sounds of Afro-Peruvian music 'Música Criolla', Cumbia music and beyond.

This Friday we premier Ch’usay  the newest album by Novalima, the explosive Afro- Peruvian band that travels the world bridging cultures, genres and generations in their music. Started by four friends from Lima with a shared passion for traditional Afro-Peruvian music and global DJ culture, Novalima has garnered worldwide critical acclaim from mainstream media like NPR, UK Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Billboard, and underground media like  Remezcla, Sounds & Colors, and Nat Geo for their  legendary performances at festivals, their string of hit albums and  their Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album.  Last year Novalima went back into the studio to explore new sounds from Peru and produced  Ch’usay  which will be released this Friday, celebrating Novalima’s 15th Anniversary. Chicago –born Matt LeGrand has explored the wide variety of musical inspirations that the windy city had to offer,  learning guitar, drums, and even dabbling with songwriting. He also experimented with different bands and duos in college that finally inspired him to find a sound all his own. Legendary artists manager Bryant Reid  discovered LeGrand in 2015 and is confident he’s found another potentially explosive new artist, saying , "In all of my years in the recorded music business, I must say that Matt LeGrand is one of the hardest working young artists that I've encountered. “  With an ever growing fan-base who call themselves The Legrand Girls.  He released the highly successful “All Good” song and video  in 2017, released  “12:00 AM”  this year, and debuted live in NYC this summer. Plus, The duo Mitre drops by at the beginning of the showwith the new song, "El Callejón Del Beso" .

According to Patterson and Kelley (2000) attempts to identify and make sense of the African diaspora are almost as old as the diaspora itself. Dating back at least to Juan Latino (a 16th century Spanish black professor at Granada), Ottobah Cuagano and Olaudah Equiano in the eighteenth century, and Jose Manuel Valdes (a Afro Peruvian physician who proved that cancer was not contagious) in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, black writers and activists have often defined themselves as part of a larger international black community. The presumption that black people worldwide share a common culture was a response to a political imperative. An imperative that led to the formation of political and cultural movements premised on international solidarity. Thus, while acknowledging that African cultural elements survived the forced dispersal throughout the Americas and the Caribbean, we must always keep in mind that diasporic identities are socially and historically constituted, reconstituted, and reproduced; and that any sense of a collective identity among black peoples wherever they are found throughout the word is contingent and constantly shifting. Neither the fact of blackness nor shared experiences under racism nor the historical process of their dispersal makes for community or even a common identity. Yet it was precisely out of the historical struggle to resist this domination that a concept of "authentic" identity emerged alongside a discourse of difference and discontinuity. Stuart Hall (1990) identifies these two opposing but dialectically linked conceptions of identity in his essay "Cultural Identity and Diaspora." He writes: "The first position defines cultural identity in terms of one, shared culture, a sort of collective 'one true self,' hiding inside the many other, more superficial or artificially imposed 'selves,' which people with a shared history and ancestry hold in common. Within the terms of this definition, our cultural identities reflect their common historical experiences and shared cultural codes which provide us, as 'one people,' with stable, unchanging and continuous frames of reference and meaning, beneath the shifting divisions and vicissitudes of our actual history." What we will hear next is a recent talk from Dr. Joseph Harris where he explores the evolution, current state and the challenges of diaspora studies it faces moving forward. Dr. Joseph Harris a retired distinguished professor emeritus of history from Howard University. His seminal Global Dimensions of the African Diaspora (1982), a collection of essays that grew out of conferences he organized at Howard University in 1979 and at the University of Nairobi in 1981, is widely credited with establishing the field of African Diaspora Studies. He was founder and first president of the West African Research Association in Senegal, and he served as vice president of the International African Studies Association. From 1994 to 2004, he collaborated with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's “Slave Route Project.” In January 2008, Harris organized and moderated an important symposium at the National Archives on the abolition of the trans-Atlantic trade in captive Africans. He has collaborated with L. Douglas Wilder, former governor of Virginia and past mayor of Richmond, to establish a National Slavery Museum in Petersburg, Va. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native, indigenous, African, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people.

The “Black Pacific” is a term coined by our guide, ethnomusicologist Heidi Carolyn Feldman. She describes the circumstance of African descendants displaced not only from their ancestral homes in Africa, but also from the Atlantic coast nations where their enslaved ancestors were originally brought. This Hip Deep edition explores the sonically vibrant realm of Afro-Peruvian music, a young genre identification that has flourished since the 1950s and has now produced artists of international renown, such as singer Susana Baca, and the black folkloric company Peru Negro. The music is sensuous and deeply beautiful, and represents a fascinating and little-understood history. We will hear from Juan Morillo, who represents Peru Negro, from Susana Baca, and from other artists and community scholars Feldman has worked with during her extensive research of this topic.

What happens if you dare to dream, write down your dream, talk about it and then walk it out? You'll win! With his highly regarded discography, unique compositions, and acclaimed performances in a variety of configurations, pianist Geoffrey Keezer commands the attention typically reserved for the living legends of jazz. Whether recording with jazzy chanteuses Diana Krall or Dianne Reeves, touring with trumpet king Chris Botti, or collaborating with pop icon Sting, sax legend Wayne Shorter, guitar wizard Jim Hall, star bassist Christian McBride or vibes master Joe Locke, Geoffrey "has more than enough virtuosity and sheer musical wit and intelligence to weave all of his apparently disparate strands of influence into an original and compelling whole" (Time Magazine). A native of Eau Claire, WI, Keezer was playing in jazz clubs as a teenager, holding down the piano chair for Art Blakey at age 18, and touring in the company of Joshua Redman, Benny Golson and Ray Brown in his 20s. More recently he has toured with David Sanborn, Chris Botti, Joe Locke and Christian McBride; worked with vocalist Denise Donatelli on projects garnering three GRAMMY® nominations, and released a series of albums drawing influences from Hawaiian, Okinawan and Afro-Peruvian folk traditions. Perhaps the most exciting turn in Geoffrey's career is his recent focus on solo piano and his first solo release in thirteen years, Heart of the Piano (2013, Motema Records). On a mission to redefine solo jazz piano as a personal and interactive showcase of melody, energy and groove, Keezer brings to Heart of the Piano his most direct and focused artistry to date. Barely into his 40s, Geoffrey Keezer's singular style of intellectually abstract lyricism woven over exotically complex rhythms and harmonies makes him one of the most sought-after artists on the modern jazz scene. Regardless of the nature of his projects, from solo to duo to quartet, from bandleader to big band, from post bop jazz to electronica to global fusion, from composer to arranger, Geoffrey delivers music from the heart of the piano to the ear--and heart--of the listener.

Jakes' The Potter's Church in 2008, he hoped to change people's lives with his uplifting music. But it was the Jacksonville, Florida, native's life that was about to change.  After delivering a rousing set that focused on Timbo's signature emotionally-rich, love-centric tunes, the singer-songwriter-musician was met backstage by Tyrese. “He walked in the back after I was done and said, ‘Dude. I don't know what just happened, but whatever just happened I want to happen tonight at my show,'” Timbo recalls today.
