The Rebel Beat 081: A People's History Through Song by Firebrand Records published on 2018-01-25T04:49:19Z Welcome back to The Rebel Beat's monthly podcast for January, 2018. And happy new year! We have an amazing show to get to today, we’re gonna bring you a people’s history of music à la Howard Zinn with Dror. Dror is grassroots music journalist, a blogger, and a community organizer with the BDS movement in solidarity with Palestine. Check out his blog, Entre Les Oreilles ("Between the Ears") here: entrelesoreilles.blogspot.ca Like the Rebel Beat podcast? Wanna keep us going strong? Support us! www.patreon.com/rebelbeatradio Also on the show, we reflect on the one-year anniversary of the mosque shooting in Quebec City, when a white supremacist killed six Muslim men as they were praying. It was just one week after Trump was inaugurated as President of the USA. If you're on Facebook, check out this beautiful collection of tributes here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RememberJan29 We also reflect on a year of inspiring resistance against the white supremacist, sexist, ecocidal, and transphobic policies of the Trump regime. There are many frontlines of the struggle, but one in particular you can support are the J20 Defendants: www.defendj20resistance.org Finally, in our Turn it Up segment, we honour not one, but TWO groundbreaking musicians: * Jackie Shane, a pioneering transgendered soul singer. Check out her recently re-released album here: http://www.numerogroup.com/products/jackie-shane-any-other-way * Hugh Masekela, the god-father of South African jazz, and anti-apartheid icon, who died this month at the age of 78.
