Photos have finally been added to the links above. Don’t ask why it took so long - I don’t really have a good answer other than… it just took a while.
I must insist that you visit John Jota Leaños at his website, and listen to the Imperial Silence: Los ABCs.
We played this piece as part of VOIX SANS FRONTI?RES, which is an international broadcast commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination as designated by the United Nations. March 21st is that anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre, and so AMARC coordinates an international broadcast on to air on that day. Programming originates from Europe, Africa, Latin America, and North America - and is broadcast all over the world.
For the third year (maybe fourth), we’ve originated at least two hours of that international broadcast from here in Santa Barbara at KCSB. Elizabeth Robinson and I have anchored KCSB’s portion for at least three years now. It’s something I’m pretty proud to participate in every year.
In any case, Imperial Silence: Los ABCs is a damn powerful piece in its own right, so you should really give it a few minutes.
