Du nu reggae au manouche, en passant par le jazz, la #SessionLive reçoit deux noms de la scène hexagonale. (Rediffusion du 19 janvier 2025)Nos premiers invités sont Les Doigts de l'Homme pour la sortie de Erratic, The Art of Roaming.Les Doigts de l'Homme fêtent leurs 20 ans. Pour cela, ils sortent un double album ambitieux qui illustre le trajet parcouru le long de ces nombreuses années avec une approche encore plus inédite et personnelle. De l'acoustique à l'électrique, 23 titres autour d'un jazz de création, « guitaristique », coloré et exigeant. Et pour respecter la tradition : à chaque nouvel album, un nouvel instrument invité ! C'est le batteur Pierre Rettien qui rejoint l'équipe pour illustrer ce passage à l'électrique. « Erratic », deuxième single tiré du double album Erratic, The Art Of Roaming qui est sorti le 20 septembre 2024. Accepter le désordre, ne pas suivre de ligne de conduite, laisser émerger librement ce qu'il en résulte, dans la vie comme dans la musique, accepter de se laisser malmener par l'imprévu, fuir l'ordre qui peu à peu s'établit. Ignorer l'influence du regard extérieur, celui qui finit par restreindre la véritable liberté de choisir. Laisser naître de ce qui semble être le chaos.► Titres interprétés au grand studio« Dreaming of my Brothers » Live RFI« Des hommes intègres », extrait du double album (cd Électrik)« Californian Christmas » Live RFI► Line Up : Olivier Kikteff (guitare), Benoît Convert (guitare), Yannick Alcocer (guitare), Tanguy Blum (contrebasse) et Nazim Aliouche (percussions)Son : Mathias Taylor, Camille RochAlbum Erratic, The Art of Roaming (Lamastrock/ Inouïe Dist. 2024).YouTube - Bandcamp - LamastrockPuis, nous recevons Flox pour la sortie de Square.Flox est square.

Il y a quelques décennies, il sort diplômé en reliure de ses cinq ans à l'École Estienne. Il est en pleine période punk et ne se voit pas travailler pour les vieux clients bourgeois des relieurs. Alors, il devient informaticien et son premier salaire sert à payer la première traite d'une table de mixage à 25 000 francs. Après tout, Florian Gratton n'a jamais manqué de détermination et sait prendre des décisions tranchées. Avant lui, sa mère, moitié kabyle, moitié française, s'est évadée en Grande-Bretagne à l'adolescence, a rencontré un acteur moitié anglais, moitié irlandais et ne revient en France qu'après la victoire de Mitterrand à la présidentielle de 1981. Florian a onze ans et se met à la batterie, son premier instrument. Peu à peu, il saura jouer d'un peu tout. « Je suis plus curieux que vraiment multiinstrumentiste. Je n'apprends de chaque instrument que ce qui me suffit pour faire de la musique. C'est un apprentissage ciblé. Il me faut des notes bien appuyées et bien placées. »Qu'on ne s'attende pas à une trajectoire classique de reggaeman. Sa porte d'entrée pour la musique jamaïcaine est franchement britannique avec Police, avant le drum'n'bass et le choc de la dub poetry de Linton Kwesi Johnson. « À part ça, j'ai autant été nourri de Bob Marley que des Pink Floyd. » À vingt ans commence le temps des groupes. À trente ans, il dirige une batucada de trente percussionnistes. Mais il s'est fixé comme un cap de faire son premier album avant trente-cinq ans.

Last season, we focused on playing pieces from Issues One to Three of The Sunday Paper. This season we are going to be furthering the conversation on resistance and anti-imperial struggles around the world. We're starting off close to home this week, with an on-the-ground report from a protest that happened in Canberra last Monday.Before I start this story I should explain for international listeners that Aboriginal Nations on this continent were invaded and occupied in 1788 by the British Empire. The Indigenous people never ceded their sovereignty, so this country is still illegally occupied with the current King Charles as the supposed head of stateKing Charles has been visiting this colony in the past week and in response, The Black People's Union, along with other grass roots Aboriginal groups and individuals, organised protests to ‘unwelcome' the King at each location of his visit. I drove up to Canberra to join the protest there.This episode was made on Ngunnawal, Ngambri and Wurundjeri land. This land was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues, as does Indigenous resistance. Our theme music was made by DOBBY.This episode also features the track ‘Inglan is a Bitch' by Linton Kwesi Johnson.Our executive producer is Matt Chun.The Sunday Paper Podcast is compiled, mixed and edited by me, Mell Chun. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thesundaypaperpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

For Episode 29, Tony's guests are Roual Galloway of Spinners, and Derek Steel of Razur Cuts, two of the more prominent among the many Litzines currently flourishing in the UK (and beyond).Litzines – independent zines of literature from outside the mainstream – are surely among the oldest of all forms of fanzines. Depending on your historical perspective, you could even argue that they predate the concept of the fanzine itself, which as noted back on Episode 21, was a word first knowingly used in 1940.Certainly, self-published zines of prose and poetry writing were an important part of the Beat culture on both US coasts through the 1950s and 1960s, have an anchor in the current vibrant world of perzines, and have been especially strong in the UK ever since the emergence of a new generation of poets in the early 1980s. These were people encouraged by the examples of cross-over artists like John Cooper Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson, and aided by the support of rock artists like The Jam's Paul Weller, and they took to the pubs and small theaters of the UK to reclaim the form “for the people.” In the UK, the medium, in prose and short story form too, has also always had a close connection to the football terraces and others aspects of pop culture, and recent issues of Razur Cuts and Spinners, each weighing in at about 80 pages, readily demonstrate as much...For more info, including photos, more words, and more links, please visit https://tonyfletcher.substack.com/p/the-flourishing-world-of-litzines Hosted on Acast.

Acclaimed jazz singer, songwriter and interpreter Madeleine Peyroux will release Let's Walk, her first album in six years, on June 28th. The new songs present sides of the artist only touched on in the past. The collection is her most diverse, intimate and bold work as she shares thoughtful and revealing views on personal and societal concerns. Peyroux offers hope through understanding and community by using one of our most unifying means, music.   Let's Walk is Peyroux's ninth album and the first in which she co-wrote every song with longtime collaborator Jon Herington. As evidenced from her new single “Please Come On Inside”, Peyroux has empathy and wisdom to impart. While many of us have lost a connection or a relationship with someone close due to these polarizing and divisive times, Peyroux offers a way back through compassion and kindness.   Stylistically, Let's Walk may be Peyroux's most varied yet cohesive collection thus far. She incorporates elements of jazz, folk, gospel blues, Americana, chamber pop, Latin rhythms and a little playful humor into the mix. The songs are interwoven around contemplative, observational and confessional narratives, making it the deepest and most substantive album of her illustrious catalog.   The title track was inspired by the mass mobilization of everyday people standing up and unifying for civil rights around the world in 2020. The stunning “How I Wish” is soul-searching awakening in response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. On “Nothing Personal,” she addresses sexual assault – both her own, and countless others, with her aching and poignant vocals.   As much depth and soul searching as Let's Walk presents, there is a lighter side as well. The playful “Me and the Mosquito” features a Caribbean-infused rhythm and vocal as Peyroux tackles the ever-elusive pest that will not let her sleep at night. She closes the album with a humorous, while somewhat serious advisory, via the tongue-in-cheek, speedy spoken-word track “Take Care”, inspired by the dub poet and activist Linton Kwesi Johnson.   Let's Walk finds Madeleine Peyroux in the most freely creative place of her celebrated career. With eight albums and worldwide acclaim, she refuses to stand still as she arrives at a new artistic and creative plateau. True artists always continue to move forward, much like the album title suggests. ubscribe to The Jazz, Blues and R and B Podcast and Radio Show Period: Also, Subscribe to The Beatles Come To America (limited-run with Brooke Halpin, we review all the Beatles US Albums) To Subscribe go to: Youtube, Itunes, Anchor, Spotify, Amazon Podcasts, Google Podcast, Overcast, Breaker, Castbox, Radio Public, Podbay, Stitcher....and more!

fWotD Episode 2546: Death of Blair Peach Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Wednesday, 24 April 2024 is Death of Blair Peach.Clement Blair Peach (25 March 1946 – 24 April 1979) was a New Zealand teacher who was killed during an anti-racism demonstration in Southall, London, England. A campaigner and activist against the far right, in April 1979 Peach took part in an Anti-Nazi League demonstration in Southall against a National Front election meeting in the town hall and was hit on the head, probably by a member of the Special Patrol Group (SPG), a specialist unit within the Metropolitan Police Service. He died in hospital that night.An investigation by Commander John Cass of the Metropolitan Police's Complaints Investigation Bureau concluded that Peach had been killed by one of six SPG officers, and others had preserved their silence to obstruct his investigation. The report was not released to the public, but was available to John Burton, the coroner who conducted the inquest; excerpts from a leaked copy were also published in The Leveller and The Sunday Times in early 1980. In May 1980 the jury in the inquest arrived at a verdict of death by misadventure, although press and some pressure groups—notably the National Council for Civil Liberties—expressed concern that no clear answers had been provided, and at the way Burton conducted the inquest.Celia Stubbs, Peach's partner, campaigned for the Cass report to be released and for a full public inquiry. An inquiry was rejected, but in 1988 the Metropolitan Police paid £75,000 compensation to Peach's family. In 2009 Ian Tomlinson died after he was struck from behind by a member of the Territorial Support Group, the SPG's successor organisation; the parallels in the deaths proved to be the catalyst in the release of the Cass report to the public. The Metropolitan Police commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, released the report and supporting documentation. He also offered an official apology to Peach's family.The policing of the demonstration in Southall damaged community relations in the area. Since Peach's death the Metropolitan Police have been involved in a series of incidents and poorly conducted investigations—the 1993 murder of Stephen Lawrence, the death of Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005, the botched 2006 Forest Gate raid and the death of Tomlinson—all of which tarnished the image of the service. Peach's death has been remembered in the music of The Pop Group, Ralph McTell and Linton Kwesi Johnson; the National Union of Teachers set up the Blair Peach Award for work for equality and diversity issues and a school in Southall is named after him.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Wednesday, 24 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Death of Blair Peach on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Salli Standard.

Jamaica poet and artist, Linton Kwesi Johnson is the second living poet, and the only black one, to have his poems published in the Penguin Modern Classics Series in 2002. Born in Chapelton, a rural parish of Clarendon in Jamaica, Linton Kwesi Johnson migrated to Britain in 1963 with his parents as part of the Windrush generation that left Jamaica on the eve of independence. Johnson attended Tulse Hill School in Lambeth, where he joined the British Black Panther Movement, helping to organize poetry workshops within the movement, while developing his work with Rasta Love, a group of poets and drummers. Johnson studied sociology at Goldsmiths College in New Cross, London, graduating in 1973. He wrote for New Musical Express, Melody Maker, and Black Music in the 1970s, while working as the first paid library resources and education officer at the Keskidee Centre, where his poem "Voices of the Living and the Dead" was staged and produced by Jamaican novelist Lindsay Barrett. Johnson's poetry involves the recitation of his own verse in Jamaican patois, mixing it with dub-reggae, usually written in collaboration with reggae producer Dennis Bovell. In this episode, we present a poetry performance by Linton Kwesi Johnson at the Leeds West Indian Centre held to commemorate 50 years since the death of David Oluwale. This episode is part of the African History Series of the Africanist Press featuring voices, individuals, and institutions engaged in shaping the study of Africa's past and present developments.

Linton Kwesi Johnson is one of the greatest poets of the modern era. His uncompromising political verse infused with reggae has influenced many people, and helped chronicle the lived experience of Black Britain for decades. This year, Linton has published a selection of his prose from the 1970s to 2021, titled “Time Come.” He joins Tom to talk about his life in words, poetry and music.

They came, they saw, they felt conquered. Turning to the later works of Samuel Selvon and George Lamming, and the writing of Andrew Salkey, Edward Kamau Brathwaite, and Linton Kwesi Johnson, this lecture will reflect on the aesthetics of Caribbean emigrant authors. Considering how the form of their works reflected a changing Britain in the 1960s-80s, it will explore how their motifs, and themes of fragmentation and rupture, signal the emergence of a new Black British consciousness.A lecture by Dr Malachi McIntosh recorded on 3 October 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/writers-windrushGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. There are currently over 2,500 lectures free to access. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds.

Reggae poet Linton Kwesi Johnson reveals the influences and experiences that inspired his own creativity. Born in Jamaica, he moved to south London in 1963 at the age of eleven. He made his name as a performance poet, reciting politically motivated verse to a dub-reggae backbeat, and becoming a powerful voice of resistance and protest in response to racism on the streets of Britain in the 1970s. He became the first black poet to be published in the Penguin Modern Classics series, was awarded the PEN Pinter Prize in 2020, and recently published a collection of prose under the title Time Come. On stage and on record, he is renowned for angry and uncompromising works such as Five Nights Of Bleeding, Sonny's Lettah, and Iglan Is a Bitch. For This Cultural Life, Linton Kwesi Johnson recalls growing up in poverty in rural Jamaica, where his grandmother told him ghost stories and read The Bible. Appalled at the racism he experienced, he joined the Black Panthers whilst still at school and became a political activist. He began to write and perform poetry, set to music and delivered in Jamaican patois, after being inspired by reggae artists such as Prince Buster and U-Roy, and the American group The Last Poets. Johnson also talks about the tragic fire that killed 13 young partygoers in New Cross, south London in 1981, an event that he commemorated in one of his best known works, New Craas Massahkah.

In the 2nd Society segment: It's time for yet another moral panic! This time, it's the government's crackdown on Nos. But don't get it twisted, this isn't merely about curbing Anti-Social Behaviour, it's something bigger.Lastly, in Life: I've always credited my creative endeavours for giving my life purpose, but for some, creative endeavours like Photography can save your mental health.Thank you for listening!

In 1979, Maurice Bishop and the New J.E.W.E.L. Movement (NJM) came to power, in the spirit of the Cuban and Haitian revolutions, against an authoritarian neocolonial puppet and promised to end illiteracy, poverty, and the colonial condition of Grenada as a site of former enslavement and ongoing extraction. 4 years later (and 40 years past from 2023) Bishop was dead, assassinated by members of his own revolutionary government, and Ronald Reagan was authorizing the imperialist invasion of a tiny island that posed no threat to the American Empire. What happened? The story of the Grenadian Revolution is a complicated tale of Vanguards and Masses; a dialectical interplay of the forces that make revolution possible. In looking at the 40th anniversary of the end of the short-lived revolution, we ask how a revolution's flame can burn so bright that even its extinguishing still casts a shadow on the Caribbean today. Our guest is David Austin, the author of the Casa de las Americas Prize-winning Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex, and Security in Sixties Montreal, Moving Against the System: The 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Making of Global Consciousness, and Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution.

This is the late 1970s and '80s as explained through the urgent and still-relevant songs of the Clash, the Specials, the Au Pairs, the Style Council, the Pet Shop Boys, and nearly four hundred other bands and solo artists. Each chapter presents a mixtape (or playlist) of songs related to an alarming feature of Thatcher's Britain, followed by an analysis of the dialogue these artists created with the Thatcherite vision of British society. "Tell us the truth," Sham 69 demanded, and pop music, however improbably, did. It's a furious and sardonic account of dark times when pop music raised a dissenting fist against Thatcher's fascist groove thing and made a glorious, boredom-smashing noise. Bookended with contributions by Dick Lucas and Boff Whalley as well as an annotated discography, The Fascist Groove Thing: A History of Thatcher's Britian in 21 Mixtapes (PM Press, 2023) presents an original and polemical account of the era. Hugh Hodges has written extensively on African and West Indian music, poetry, and fiction, including essays on Fela Kuti, Lord Kitchener, and Bob Marley. Linton Kwesi Johnson praised his book Soon Come as "extremely engaging and an important, original scholarly work." He currently teaches at Trent University, Ontario, where his research focuses on cultural resistance in its many forms, and his band the Red Finks remains hopelessly obscure.

This is the late 1970s and '80s as explained through the urgent and still-relevant songs of the Clash, the Specials, the Au Pairs, the Style Council, the Pet Shop Boys, and nearly four hundred other bands and solo artists. Each chapter presents a mixtape (or playlist) of songs related to an alarming feature of Thatcher's Britain, followed by an analysis of the dialogue these artists created with the Thatcherite vision of British society.

A rising star of British photography, Kemka Ajoku talks about how his English and Nigerian roots have shaped his outlook. He tells us why he focuses on telling Black British stories and how he handles racist responses to his work. Linton Kwesi Johnson's unflinching political poems about police brutality, social injustice and protest have made him an inspiration for a generation of poets. But whose words inspired him as a young writer? Linton shares with us how the work of Martin Carter fired his imagination and his passion for poetry. Xiran Jay Zhao's New York Times best-selling debut novel Iron Widow has been described as Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid's Tale. It tells the story of 18-year-old Zetian, the pilot of a giant robot, who is battling both an insidious patriarchy and menacing alien beings that lurk beyond the Great Wall of China. Xiran reveals how their experiences as a first generation Chinese immigrant and as a non-binary writer have influenced their work. Presented by Megha Mohan.

This week we're celebrating writing from some of the world's leading Black writers. The novelist, essayist and cultural commentator Roxane Gay on the political and personal power of writing. Roxane reflects on the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, cancel culture and how publishing needs to change to become an industry that celebrates all voices. We hear from two short story writers each offering us a glimpse of very different sides of Africa. Tanzanian author Erica Sugo Anyadike charts the rise to power of an African President's wife while Namibian writer Rémy Ngamije follows the daily routine of a group of homeless people in the suburbs of Windhoek. Both stories are shortlisted for the AKO Caine Prize for African Writing. When British writer Candice Brathwaite couldn't find any books about Black British motherhood she could relate to, she decided to write her own. Candice tells us about her best-selling new book I Am Not Your Baby Mother. Plus: Are there poems that you return to again and again? The pioneering Jamaican dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson explains what Martin Carter's Poems of Succession mean to him. Presented by Raifa Rafiq (Photo: Roxane Gay. Credit: Reginald Cunningham)
