Tune in for WW Naarm with Paul Gorrie for the next two hours. “With recent events going on, it seems like there has been more and more urgency to listen to bla(c)k voices and take them seriously. Over here in so-called Australia, there is a long history where the state is still dispossessing us and breaching our rights to live. They have been inflicting police brutality, through the use of removing our kids, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, mums, and dads and removing them from our families into the foster care and prison system. Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people are not only statistically dying decades earlier than non-Indigenous people but we are dying in custody, our land continues to be stolen, and large mining companies are desecrating the land. This is why we need global attention on these issues, and hopefully through these selections, can bring education and shine a light to these issues. All the artists in this mix are Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander.”

The Inti Raymi, also known as the San Juan, is a celebration of solstice and harvest and is the festival of the SUN where Indigenous communities come together in massive gatherings to celebrate with food, dance and music. In cultures with solar religions, Quito and the surrounding regions including Caranqui were considered sacred due to their proximity to the sun, which made the inti raymi and equinoccial events particularly special. The dances of the inti raymi are trance inducing, and immersive, with spirals of musicians and dancers encircling each other while stomping their feet in what we call “zapateo”. people drink fruit wines and hard liquors like pajaro azul, and the vibe is intense and cathartic. Inti Raymi marks the end and beginning. it is a cycle of renewal and release. This year, for the first time in history, the dances have been called off due to the pandemic. So here is Quixosis sharing some radio wave Zapateo with the world. Esteban Farinango AKA Malafama will be here to orient us all around the stories, feelings, and the music of the inti raymi with a selection of rare field recordings from the llaquiglla catalog, and sound from the first indigenous full length feature film recorded in 2017 by Rupai Comunicaciones.
