Hurdy Gurdy Songs explores the breadth and depth of socially conscious resistance songs across ethnic, national, genre and generational lines.Produced and hosted by Jorge Arevalo Mateus, the program presents classic artists and performances alongside obscure, unknown and emerging singers and players, drawing from repertoires of resistance and topical themed songs both local and global. Hurdy Gurdy highlights the struggles of people -- showcasing individuals, communities and social movements and identities from traditional protests to the latest rage, through songs created in response to oppression, marginalization, class inequities, sexism, and erasure. Culture is expression and resistance!
