We went to Punjab to bring two sides together folk music and all those instruments and live

musicians and DJ swami who is going to be producing the music

and bringing the electronic elements out.

We were resident in the city called Ludhiana and to me the most interesting

part of that residency was the talent that these musicians have and how the collaborations

could come together. Yes we are looking at the journey of Punjabi music in the last 100

years but we want to be real to this day and age as well so its really interesting

to see what actually's happening in Punjab. So that process of being in a studio and a

rehearsal space with these musicians and listening to what they can deliver was just absolutely amazing.

We have some fantastic musicians lined up

Vijay Yamla, Vijay plays a range of instruments

like Tumbi which is a one string instrument and the larger version of the Tumbi called

Tumba which is again a one string instrument, Alghoza which is a double flute it's a very

interesting instrument because you need a circle of breathing to play this. Bugchu which

again is a string instrument and he could also play a Dhol he could play Dholak he can

sing I mean this guy is super talented. The other collaborators are Dheera, Dheera Singh

who is Sarangi player and he also plays another instrument called dud so those are kinda Dheera's

two main instrument and he can sing as well. The third musician we have is Naresh Kukki

and Naresh is one of the most talented Dhol players in Punjab right now

He can play Dhol, he can play Dholak

so these musicians willbe collaborating on a number of folk tracks

you know 'Jugni' 'Mirza' 'Heer' 'Challa' I mean these are the songs and

folk stories that have been performed over centuries.

And these musicians have grown in the Punjabi folk music for a very long time, somebody

like Vijay who is the grandson of Jamla Jatt has grown up in a musical family

what's really interesting is their going to be bringing that Punjabi folk music heritage side

We're really excited that we can bring the best of the

Punjabi folk music instruments and the musicians.

Abigail DeVille Listens to History | Art21 "New York Close Up" - Duration: 8:11.

["New York Close Up"]

There's something that, if you're quiet enough and you listen,

you're being guided or directed to uncover specific bits of information.

There's always this act of digging,

kind of like resuscitating life back into those lost fragments.

["Abigail DeVille Listens to History"]

[The Contemporary at the Peale Museum, Baltimore]

The materials that I choose are already speaking--

speaking to the past through internal intuition.

History is deep. It's dark.

It affects everything that's happening, even at this very moment.

It's like a rock.

You can try to tease out little bits in trying to make your way through material

or make a way through space.

[Abigail DeVille, artist] History is the tale of the victor, right?

It's garbage.

Like George Washington's "wooden teeth" were actually teeth from slaves.

God!

It's nauseating.

It's like the more you don't want to know, you know?

[National Great Blacks in Wax Museum, Baltimore]

Well I think the first thing to go in history is the atrocities.

Nobody wants to remember that.

That's the stuff that has to get swept away.

Cover up--whitewash--is all attributed to the inability to get over slavery.

It's the hangover that is not going away.

There's merit in the attempt to make something

that could talk about something larger than yourself.

People are messy, history is messy.

The work needs to… [LAUGHS] reflect that.

Thinking about bureaucracy and things just piling up.

Thinking about all the voices that were lost.

When things are painful, people don't want to talk about them.

But we can't forget about the class of invisible people

that were present at every single juncture and every single moment

in the formation of this country and its myths.

One of the incredible beauties and strengths of African Americans

is this propensity for joy and endurance--

despite all.

There's joy to occupy space in direct opposition or contrast of the dominant narrative.

["The New Migration," Harlem, New York]

[SINGING AND PERCUSSION]

"The New Migration" processionals have been more human-scale.

They're usually guerilla performances that happen.

They're unannounced.

You encounter them or you don't.

[SINGING CONTINUES]

[DEVILLE] --What inspired me to do that?

[DEVILLE] --It's based on migration of people.

[MAN] --I get your concept, but where do I fit into that?

[DEVILLE] --Oh, where do you fit into it?

--Where do you want to fit into it?

[MAN] --I don't want you to answer that...

[DEVILLE] --That's for you to figure out! Yes...

[MAN] -- ...but it's what I ask of myself all the time.

[DEVILLE] --Oh, all right! [LAUGHS]

From 1914 to 1970, the Great Migration happened

and six million African Americans came up North

looking for better opportunities.

What's happening now is this kind of reversal--

of people being pushed out of places that they moved to.

Just because it was north didn't mean that the racial tensions had gone anywhere.

Well yeah, because white supremacy is what's for dinner, you know?

[SINGING & MUSIC]

["The New Migration," Anacostia, Washington, D.C.]

Dragging.

Walking barefoot.

It's the invisible weights that people are walking around with.

The weight of history holds you down.

I thought it was important to insert people where

nobody knows about what Black people have contributed to the history of society.

[SINGING & MUSIC]

[SINGING & MUSIC CONTINUES]

In Martin Luther King's last speech-- the "Mountaintop Speech"--

he says, "Somehow, only when it's dark enough can you see the stars."

I was immediately drawn to the fearless optimism.

Love feels like this powerful force

that actually could enact change more than hate ever could.

I think hate causes a kind of exhaustion.

It's something for me never to lose sight of--

or to constantly be reminded of--

that we, as a people, we're going to get there.

box to get all breaking news alert world news today Indian official in desperate

plea to avoid war calls for liberal visas for Pakistan in a desperate plea

for peace a prominent Indian MP and former minister has called for his

country to be unilaterally liberal on visas for certain people from Pakistan

as he attempts to avoid war between the two counties it has been revealed Shashi

Tharoor who also chairs India's Parliamentary

Standing Committee on External Affairs said a de facto open border for large

numbers of people would promote better bilateral relations between both nations

the liberal visas for Pakistanis would be available those such as

businesspeople journalists artists and musicians mister the Ruhr explained he

claimed it was sad that both countries were not as close as the US and Canada

are mister the Ruhr claimed the Pakistani army were at fault for the bad

relations dot he said until an unless Pakistani civil society can reduce the

predominant space occupied by its army there will always be a very strong

constituency of people who would want to see hostility not just with India but

also with Afghanistan because that justifies the Army's disproportionate

privileges unfortunately in recent years India feels that you can't have normal

relations with a society from where attacks keep coming across the border

Pakistan could easily help by making an example of these terrorist groups in

arresting some of these terrorists his words have come after Pakistan last week

declared that it is worried about India's Predator drone technology as

tensions rise between the Aslam ibattz Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal

issued the concern during a weekly media briefing amid concerns New Delhi could

utilize the technologies for surveillance and reconnaissance

he said India's development of drone technology is worrying when seen in the

larger context of its buildup and expansion of military capabilities in

the conventional and non-conventional domains which are subjecting regional

strategic stability to increasing strain India recently carried out a successful

test of its Rustom 2 drone that is regarded as being similar to the US

Predator drones it is unknown if there are any future plans for India to place

weapons on their drones dot mr. Faisal declared the Indian drones should abide

by the UN Charter international humanitarian law and other procedures

the main area of tension between the two South Asian nations stems from the Jammu

and Kashmir region wars between India and Pakistan in 1947 and 1965 centered

around competing claims for the area both sites have been responsible for

violations along the border thanks for watch please subscribe channel for
