Larry & Joe: Honest MusicOn March 24, the virtuosic duo Larry & Joe released their album Nuevo South Train in Durham, NC at The Fruit. Joe Troop, the guitar, fiddle, and banjo player from the Grammy-nominated band Che Apalache, did a residency series at The Fruit and Larry Bellorín, a harp player from Venezuela had been encouraged to connect with Joe. Their connection was immediate and what results is a vibrant, joyful sound. In our podcast interview, we talk about that show at The Fruit. I was there, and loved every minute. Joe told the audience that we are “the Nuevo South.” Like the South (but unlike many roots music concert audiences) this audience was diverse! The title track of Nuevo South Train encourages everyone to get on board. It's a unique song, with modulating tempos, lyrics in Spanish and English, and a lot of humor. In this sense, it's a song with a message, but a light touch. As Joe talks about in our podcast conversation, it's not that everyone has to see everything in the same way; but we do have to stay in the room together and figure things out. One way to get people in the room is to play as well as Larry and Joe. From the first notes of the concert, their skill and respect for traditions was on display. Both Larry and Joe are multi-instrumentalists, so the sound never gets predictable or tired. And they can both sing so beautifully, investing everything in the emotion of the words. One of the highlights of the night was the gorgeous and sorrowful hymn-like song, “Border Wall.” It features verses from Joe, Larry, and DaShawn Hickman, who joined them on piano. The refrain goes: “Border wall, border wall / There will come one bright morning when it stands there no more.” I had so many questions about this record and the songs. But our conversation was mostly about making music together, and it was so heartfelt and beautiful that I am glad we didn't just dive into a track-by-track analysis. We talk about community, tradition, and mostly about love. I hope you enjoy the podcast. Find out more about Larry and Joe, including tour dates, at their website.

Joe Troop is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter hailing originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The founder of GRAMMY-nominated stringband Che Apalache, Joe's music is deeply inspired by his decade living in Buenos Aires and traveling throughout Latin America. When the pandemic unexpectedly landed him back in North Carolina, he spent 2020 learning direct action from stalwart organizers. In 2021 he channeled that energy into his homecoming album Borrowed Time. The record was co-produced with Jason Richmond (The Avett Brothers, Branford Marsalis) and features luminaries like Béla Fleck (who produced Che Apalache's GRAMMY-nominated album), Abigail Washburn, Tim O'Brien, and Charlie Hunter, but the visceral songwriting and fine-crafted instrumentals speak for themselves. Joe's music reflects both his time spent living abroad as well as his upbringing in the North Carolina Piedmont. Now based in Durham, he leads various ensembles, which play his original music. Joe has also most recently partnered with powerhouse Venezuelan folk music legend Larry Bellorín. The duo is on a mission to show that music has no borders and is already touring extensively.Larry & Joe's most recent single, Caballo Viejo

The Nuestro South Loud & Proud series focuses on the Poder y Cultura that Nuestra Gente in the South can possess. From the comida que cocinamos, the music we play, and our labor which plants, cleans, and builds-- Nuestra Gente has grown deep roots in the south.In this episode- What does it mean to be Half-Hillbilly and Half-Mexican? How do Latinx families come to settle in the Appalachian regions? How does our music and culture express a new vision for our communities future?Like the broader US South, Appalachia is a vast region filled with its own history and nuances but it is still largely stereotyped as a particularly white space . The truth and history is much more nuanced, and just like in the deep South, Nuestra Gente has roots all across Appalachia  and  has enriched the region with their food, language, music, and culture. Tune in to discover the cultural bridges being formed through the Mexilachian music of the Lua Project, and the activist sounds of the Latingrass group Che Apalache as Sophia Enriquez walks us through her own family's journey and the significance of our music in the Appalachian-Latinx experience. Sophia is a scholar, teacher, and musician from Appalachian Ohio. She is a PhD candidate in ethnomusicology at Ohio State University. Her dissertation titled “Canciones de Las Apalaches: Latinx Music, Migration, and Belonging in Appalachia” sheds light on the long-standing contributions of Latinx people to Appalachian music. Sophia plays Appalachian and Mexican music styles—such as ranchera and bluegrass—and performs with the folk trio the  “Good Time Girls” in Columbus, Ohio. To learn more, check out:https://nuestrosouth.org/Subscribe to this channel for new podcast episodes oniTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us:Instagram: http://instagram.com/nuestrosouthTwitter: https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouth/The Nuestro South Loud & Proud Interview Series is produced by Axel Herrera, Julie Weise, and Erik Valera with generous sponsorship from the Whiting Foundation, the University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences, and LatinxEd.

The Show On The Road with Z. Lupetin

This week we feature a border-breaking bluegrass band who came all the way from Buenos Aires to celebrate their folk album of the year Grammy nomination - and before they hit the red carpet, they stopped by Z's LA living room studio to talk about their unlikely founding and how they've created their intoxicating brew of traditional North American and often overlooked South American stringband sounds - Che Apalache. Lead by a trilingual world traveller, the fleet-bowed fiddler, spitfire vocalist and sonic scholar Joe Troop - the band formed almost accidentally when Joe began teaching curious local Buenos Aires pickers his own North Carolina folk traditions and amongst his talented students, he found three kindred spirits in Argentinians Franco Martino on guitar and Martin Bobrik on mandolin, and Pau Barjau on banjo originally from Mexico. The result has been one of the most unexpected and have-to-hear-this-to-believe it stories in modern roots music - culminating in their brilliant second record Rearrange My Heart which was produced by fan of the band (and guy pretty good on the banjo) Bela Fleck. Lucky for us, they play several songs during the episode!
