Ep 221: F Fascism

Book bans, anti-trans legislation, abortion bans and restrictions...things are feeling more than a little fascist in the USA right now. Todo mal, pero no a falta de resistencia. This week we talk about the global rise of fascism, historical context around the ebbs and flows of progress and backlash, and of course, the soundtrack of resistance. Whether it’s the musicians who resisted the 1960’s rise of right-wing dictators in Latin America as part of the Nueva Canción movement, artists who are making political resistance music today, or songs that might not be outright political at all, but help us see (and feel!) what a better future might look like—music is here to fuel us as we fight back. Featuring music by Mercedes Sosa, Ana Macho, Rafa Pabön, Ana Tijoux ft Shadia Mansour, La Santa Cecilia, Javiera Mena, Helado Negro, and Xenia Rubinos.
