Parker Mah (Alias Dj Rhythm and Hues), es un trotamundos nacido en Vancouver, instalado en Montréal desde el 2007, es un artista polifacético que creció en un contexto artístico tomando lecciones de piano desde niño. Hasta el presente, Rhythm and Hues ha lanzado dos impresionantes trabajos, The Live EP (2013) y Con mar y rio (2015). El Live EP (2013) es jazz experimental fuera de serie, con composiciones de Parker, quien también tocó los teclados, la cajita y la percusión. Extraordinaria voz de Sarah Linhares. Con mar y rio (2015), grabado entre Barranquilla (Colombia) y Montréal (Québec) es una exploración entre el estilo “free” jazz de Rhythm and Hues y los ritmos afrocaribeños, incluyendo artistas de notable trayectoria dentro del universo cultural del Caribe colombiano.

Parker, también es un coleccionador de musical sin fronteras, recopilando texturas y colores de todo el mundo, incluida África, donde Parker investiga el ir y venir de la salsa entre la región del Caribe y África. El gurú de la pista de baile, Rhythm and Hues, también es cofundador de Tumbao, un colectivo de DJ que busca preservar y promover la herencia musical de África, América Latina y la región del Caribe. Productor multimedia, curador, educador y líder del diálogo multicultural en la sociedad canadiense Rhythm and Hues conecta las culturas a través del arte y la música!

FREE PALESTINE, FREE GAZA

The accompanying graphic is by Susanna Gonzo.

Some words on my portion:

This modest offering is a sound collage that asks the question, What does collective liberation mean for Palestine and Palestinians? These songs reflect upon such themes as the hypocrisy of freedom in this climate of widespread political apathy and systemic oppression and discrimination. These songs impress upon us the importance of collective action on the basis of shared struggles, for the liberation of black, brown and indigenous bodies is inextricably linked to the liberation of Palestine; as evidenced in the main part of this mix, a poem which was found in the jail cell of Black Panther field marshal and revolutionary writer George Jackson, after he was assassinated while incarcerated in 1971. It was mistakenly attributed to him, which goes to show the resonance of the situation in the US at the time with that of Palestine. It was originally written by Palestinian poet and freedom fighter Samih al Qasim: The Enemy of the Sun.

Uses clips from recitation by Hisham Abdallah of “Enemy of the Sun” by Samih al Qasim, and from a recitation by A.Z. Foreman of “End of a Discussion with a Prison Guard” by Samih al Qasim.
