Podcast appearances and mentions of simon thoumire

¿De qué lado estás? Which side are you on? Un programa lleno de novedades y activismo... Y de misterios resueltos, como el origen del nombre de Araceli Tzigane, que tiene que ver mucho con esta banda gitana rumana que nos trae su nueva música, la Fanfare Ciocărlia, la cual acaba de anunciar que cancela indefinidamente sus actuaciones en los Estados Unidos, debido a la situación de riesgo e incertidumbre a la que se exponen quienes entren en el país. La música nos mece y nos agita, con sones plácidos y también enérgicos, con los que viajamos por los Balcanes, Francia, Escocia, Noruega, Finlandia, Zimbabue, Canadá o Ucrania, entre otros parajes, incluyendo dos piezas musicales que también son una denuncia y una llamada a la acción, a cargo de los colectivos Daughters of Donbas y Artists for Action. A show full of new releases and activism… and solved mysteries too, like the origin of Araceli Tzigane’s name, which has a lot to do with the Romanian Roma band Fanfare Ciocărlia, who’ve just announced they’re indefinitely cancelling their performances in the United States due to the risks and uncertainty faced by those entering the country. The music rocks us gently and shakes us hard, with both peaceful and powerful tunes that take us through the Balkans, France, Scotland, Norway, Finland, Zimbabwe, Canada and Ukraine, among other places, including two songs that are also a form of protest and a call to action, brought by the collectives Daughters of Donbas and Artists for Action. - Dj Click - I sigh for you (step mix) [+ Čači Vorba] - The ultimate trip to Tziganie - Adrian Raso & Fanfare Ciocărlia - The devil rides again - The devil rides again - Super Parquet - Passe de goshen - Goshen - Cocanha - Que son aüros - Que son aüros - Anna Wendy Stevenson, Muriel Urquhart, Simon Thoumire, Tom Bancroft - Màiri NicAonghais, banrigh Bhornais - Sgàth fhras - Tone Hulbækmo - Sorgleken - Harpedåm - Barbora Xu - Jingtu - The garden of Otava - Daughters of Donbas - Mama, do you hear me crying? - [single] - Artists for Action - Which side are you on? - Which side are you on?

This week we've decided to tackle a genre we've yet to tackle - folk. Or traditional. Or traditional folk? Irish folk music? Irish folk drone? Who knows what to label it, really. All we know is that it's traditional music and it's folk music. Yes, we're talking about Lankum. We've been trying to get this episode in the bag for freaking ages but after interviewing the band, we struggled to land a guest to guide us through the world of folk music. So we decided just to plough on through anyway, so please forgive our ignorance around this genres, as we're not steeped in it like we are many other genres we cover. Ostentisbly this is a two parter about the album The Livelong Day by Lankum, however this week we actually have an interview with Lankum and with Scottish folk legend Simon Thoumire. In this episode we'll mainly be tackling trad music scene in Scotland, how it may seem inaccessible to some, the class divide, the instituations that train and develop trad musicians, and comparing that somewhat to the scene in Ireland. Hope you dig it!

Hi there, Ciamar a tha sibh? What's happening? Thanks again for continuing to listen to our podcast packed full of great Scottish trad music! I've loved making this yet again.

This tune is taken from my vlog - On Being Curious - where I look into tunes with 'Devil' in the title. I found De'il Tak the War in The Caledonian Muse (1790) and then found out about it's history - it was written by Thomas D'Urfey in circa 1696. Thanks to the fabulous David McGuinness for 1. suggesting we perform it on harpsichord and 2. playing the harpsichord!
