Peoples' Voices, Peoples' Empowerment : Community Radio in Asia and Beyond

Edited By Kalinga Seneviratne
Price S$35 (Asia) US$27 (Outside Asia) Year 2012 Book Could Be
ordered on line via this link: http://www.amic.org.sg/index.php?link=9&id=84

Synopsis
Community radio expanded rapidly in Latin America and Africa in the 1980s
and the 1990s, while in Asia it was slow to take off, mainly due to
government indifference. The Philippines is often described as having
Asia?s most liberal media environments, yet, Louie Tabing, the founder of
Tambuli Community Radio describes his country?s media as a system of
PPPPP?profit, propaganda, power, politics, privilege and/ or prestige. What
Tabing argues is applicable to most countries in Asia, and the clamour for
community radio has been driven by a desire to giving a voice for the
?voiceless? masses. Thus, in recent years, community radio activists have
been able to open up Asia?s airwaves for community radio broadcasting ?
sometimes without official government sanction. In Thailand, when the
government called for applications for community radio broadcasting
licenses over 6000 applied, while in Indonesia, since the arrival of the
?Reformasi? era after the downfall of Suharto in 1998, there?s been over a
1000 community radio stations established all over the country. Almost all
of these have been unlicensed. Nepal has over 100 community radio stations
and its first community radio broadcaster Radio Sagarmatha today calls
itself a public service broadcaster. With Indian government slowly opening
up the airwaves for community radio broadcasting, it is predicted that
within 5 years there could be over 4000 community radio stations operating
across the sub-continent. Thus, community radio in Asia is now well on the
way to becoming perhaps the mainstream communication medium for both rich
and the poor, and the urban and the rural populations in Asia. This book is
thus a timely look at how the community media movement has developed across
Asia in the past 2 decades with insights from practitioners and researchers
across Asia.

Chapter Description:

Listen to the title track from Duets for Abdelrazik, a musical collaboration
between celebrated jazz saxophonist Matana Roberts and pianist/community
activist Stefan Christoff.

Recorded in 2010 at Hotel2Tango studios in Montreal, on a freezing winter
morning by Thierry Amar, this duet sparked a creative process leading to the
Duets for Abdelrazik album, released on 06/2012 at the Suoni per il Popolo.

Duets for Abdelrazik features the artistic work of community-driven musicians
in Montreal, for a series of beautiful collective compositions, that express
musical solidarity with the struggle of Abousfian Abdelrazik for justice,
attempting to speak artistically to the incredible humanity of Abdelrazik's
struggle against government-driven injustice, torture and imprisonment without
trial.

Matana (mah-tah-nah) Roberts; internationally recognized, chicago born
saxophonist/multidisciplinary sound conceptualist; working in various mediums
of performance inquiry; has created alongside visionary experimentalists of
this time period in various areas of improvisation, dance, poetry, visual art,
theater; as a saxophonist, documented on various sound recordings as
collaborator, side woman and leader. some recent work focused on the
place/problem of memory/tradition as recognized, deciphered, deconstructed,
interrogated through radical modes of sound communication, alternative styles
of musical notation, and multi genres of improvisation; based in new york city.
