Things are weird, time is fast but we’re fast too. Ambient tracks and love songs. I’ve handed MIKE a beer from my fridge but I’ve never listened to his music before this month, it’s beautiful, I get it. There’s a few tracks by him here and his friend 454 too – it’s fun when you hear a song that opens a door to a new world of sound and texture for you. My favorite Maryn E. Coote is here, she’s shaking hands with frou frou and Mizan K near the end – pay attention! No Lumad music this month, but please keep up with Liyang Network and Sabokahan online.

Lumad Radio Hour is a monthly radio show featuring music from Lumad (indigenous) communities in Mindanao. Each show will be two hours in duration, featuring a mix of music, conversation and sounds from Lumad communities. Lumad Radio Hour is hosted by dublab DJ, Mallory Lei-Smith, who is not Lumad, in collaboration with Liyang Network. Liyang is a local to global advocacy network that amplifies the calls to action of Lumad communities on the frontlines of environmental protection.

Liyang writes, “By weaving together our diverse experiences, skills and resources, we unite in their active defense of land, livelihood and self-determination.” Lumad Radio Hour exists as a means to connect people in the international community with the music and present victories and struggles of Lumad people and to amplify Lumad communities calls to action.
