I’m excited to announce that I had the honor of curating episode 05 of Voices Radio Maferefun, a show hosted by the incredible Vivian Moinelle. Vivian, an amazing human being and an extraordinary artist, has always inspired me with her deep passion for Cuban culture and music. I’m so grateful to her for trusting me with this special episode while she embarks on the next steps of her journey with Maferefun.
Abel Marcel Calderon Arias and Hannah Bates reflect upon the roles of dialogue and listening, both with one-another as teacher-student, intellectuals, researchers, musicians and friends, and with a wider circle of interlocutors on their individual research and musical paths. Through their reflections, they engage with ideas of insider-/outsider-ness, orality versus literacy, and “official” versus erased narratives, and the parts such issues play in applying decolonization to practice.
