The Folkways catalog is so rich and abundant, I had a hard time deciding what to pick. eventually I narrowed it down to two themes that reflect aspects of my personal work: Japanese folk songs and protest/songs of struggle. I split them up as I would a record with "side a" having the folk songs and "side b" the protest songs. I also hope this can be a reminder to the listener that injustices are still all around us and it is important to not lose hope, to continue to speak up and fight back...hope to see you in the streets.
