bbLeaders Radio Season 3 Episode 5

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of bbLeaders Radio. This episode we focus on international music and healing. We had a special guest this episode who talked about her journey with heating and how she uses music in her company. We also focused on Palestinian and Israeli artists.

Culture & Healing

Besides music from America, many artists also create music that ranges from various topics such as diss tracks to songs about political and social issues. In this segment, DJ Yanka focused on the more serious side and how artists bring awareness about issues in their home countries. With the current war between Israel and Palestine. Artists such as Shadia Mansour use music as a way to spread awareness. In her song “Al Kufiyyeh 3arabeyyeh” she talks about the Palestinian struggle through the “kufiyyeh” (Arabic scraf) which is a symbol of Arabic identity.

DJ O’Well

In this episode we had DJ O’Well with his set “Ama(heal)piano beats”. Going back to his roots and representing his ancestors with Afro Beats along with the amapiano. DJ O’Well’s set has people dancing all negative energies away letting the body heal “Afro style”.

 
 

Connecting people with music

Our newest member of bbLeaders, Sandra, came with her segment of Puerto Rican artist Residente (Rene Perez Joglar). We learn about Rene and his journey with his documentary. He travels the world creating an entire album with many local artists from countries such as China, Ghana, and Russia. Rene shows us the struggle of people from different places and lets them speak up about their experiences. Rene focuses on ideas of war, revolution and many topics which are not usually spoken about enough.

Fvdge

CEO of her company Ghetto Heaven we interviewed Fvdge and her journey with healing. Fvgde uses sound baths but they are not your typical sound baths. She uses RnB songs as well as other songs to help the person relax and feel healed. She also uses other objects in her healing sessions such as crystals.
