WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT GONDWANASOUND

"I like that Gondwana woman" Overheard from someone with great taste in the Showroom bar in Sheffield ;) March 2008

"Do you play Seth Lakeman" Babs Firth October 2007

"Yesterday for the first time I listened to your broadcast and I really enjoyed it. It's a shame that I'm not on broadband so I only listened for the first half hour. I thought you sounded very sexy but somehow still you. I liked the amount of background information you give and it had me hooked." Carmen Cauchi, London - April 2007

" First thing I thought was this woman really knows her stuff but hey how about some music like Joi, their new album is a work of genius" Fiona, Small Massive Theatre - March 2007

"Show was good tonight, like the collapsing chair!! keeps it real - enjoy the snow! - well done, peace." Selecter Styx ..Feb 07

"Hi Jill, the children love dancing to your SOUNDS - they have been having great fun. Thanks for the link - best music show in town!!" Gary, Angela, Gabriella and Lydia .... Jan 07

"I listened to your programme, including the mixdown, last night. I was moved and touched. But I enjoyed the whole thing as well. That's the whole point. To see that my music fits into the eclectic and socially conscious music your programme features. To tell you the truth, I feel that no other radio programme in the UK has done Sprinting Gazelle justice the way you did last night." Reem Kelani..Dec 06

"Your show seems to go from strength to strength" Pete Holden of Transfusion, ... Sept 06

MusicSo much music, so little time...... Here's some of the artists that I have been lucky to interview for the GondwanaSound broadcasts.

One love to all the musicians who brighten up our lives, lift our souls, shake our tail feathers and bring people closer together.



Movies- All the films directed by Jeff Perks :)


TelevisionPeople watch too much T.V, you should listen to the radio more !

The revolution will not be televised - Gil Scot Heron

Television, the drug of the nation
Breeding Ignorance and Feeding Radiation
Where Oxymoronic language like
Virtually spotless, fresh frozen,
Light yet filling, and military intelligence
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like recession to necessary downturn
crude oil on a beach to mousse
civilian death to collateral damages
and being killed by our own army
is now called friendly fire
TV is the place where the pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
TV is
the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple
Television, the drug of the nation
Breeding Ignorance and Feeding Radiation

"The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy"




BooksMy notebook !!
Ones with lots of pictures - I'm terrible at reading. Usually I'm so busy listening to music for the show or editing up interviews that I don't have much time to read unfortunately. I listen to the radio a lot and hopefully gain as much information that way as I can.


Heroes- No one big and famous, anyone working for change to make the world a better place. - I do not like the way we live in this current climate of celebrity. Also - Sound engineers that can mike up acoustic instruments they've never heard before.


Quote from Esma Redzepova "I am a cosmopolitan person, I like to travel everywhere and to mix with all cultures. And I don't like borders or wars. Music is the only entertainment of poor people. You can turn on the radio and forget hunger. I have travelled the four corners of the world and it seems to me that people, regardless, forget we are only guests on this earth, that we come into it naked and depart with empty hands. So why wars, evil ? It is time to open up to each other, to mix cultures and to begin to respect each other." - ESMA REDZAPOVA Oct '03

Quote from Pete Wetherby / Axiom Music

"The business of music is more often than not a world of small minds and little soul, where success is dictated by the ability to locate trends and accordingly manufacture the most lucrative product available. In this context, the lowest forms of capitalism emerge in insidious ways: the isolation and ghettoization of easily controlled "genres" and the encouragement of planned obsolescence as ways to keep up the flow of "product" become the techniques for success. Vision, integrity, significance and expression, the driving forces behind the creative act, are sacrificed as mere obstructions to the workings of business." Quote from - Peter Wetherby / Axiom. - The inventor of the Sony mini disc - The coggi indians.

   Gondwana Sound's Blurbs
About me:

GondwanaSound plays global roots and grooves, news, interviews, old favourites and new releases.


We took our name and inspiration from the name Gondwanaland, one of the ancient land masses, before the construction of economic boundaries, trade, wars and territorial boundaries which divide and keep us apart. Its a bit hard to explain in words, and its all very idealistic, but I'll try....with GondwanaSound we concentrate on our common humanity, the fact that we all make music for the same reasons and music brings us together, you can pick up on the feeling of the music, even if you can't immediately understand the lyrics.

In the beginning.....

GondwanaSound started as a cafe night and sound system formed out of a mutual love for global roots & grooves and the festival scene in the UK. We still like to play out and if you'd like t book GondwanaSound for your event please get in contact.




GondwanaSound appreciates the goodwill of artists, record labels and distributors in sending us material to play. We do not get paid by Sheffield Live or African Internet Radio, both are not for profit organisations. All donations are gratefully received and help to offset the cost of researching and scheduling the weekly broadcast.

CIAO MISS, WELCOME TO “PALESTISRAEL CITY” AND KEEF THE RIDE…
PEACE FOR KIDS BY BOOGIE BALAGAN


LAMENTATION WALLOO


When i was a boy
I was dreaming of a land
A Promised land for everyone
When i was a kid
I was diggin n’ diggin
Across the border line
I was sawing the seeds of time
Sun flowers, avatiah...feeling fine

My homeboy Ali was my buddy
But he was playing by the other side...

So we were climing up those mountains
Flyin’ high as eagles do...
N’ meanwhile
heads were banging
On the lamentation walloo

When i was a toy
I was praying with the gun
I didn’t know how to read
between the lines
When i was a toy
I was bleeding n’bleedin
It was a sign of spine
I was layin’ on my home grown sorrow
A kind of bleeding graps of wine
My homeboy Ali was my best enemy
But he was burried by the other side...
(Azriel : ps 9 the Walloo Book)
