Lumad Radio Hour: RYUICHI SAKAMOTO TO INFINITY
05.02.23

Lumad Radio Hour is a monthly radio show featuring music from Lumad (indigenous) communities in Mindanao. Each show will be two hours in duration, featuring a mix of music, conversation and sounds from Lumad communities. Lumad Radio Hour is hosted by dublab DJ, Mallory Lei-Smith, who is not Lumad, in collaboration with Liyang Network. Liyang is a local to global advocacy network that amplifies the calls to action of Lumad communities on the frontlines of environmental protection.
There is, in reality, a virtual me.
This virtual me will not age, and will continue to play the piano for years, decades, centuries.
Will there be humans then?
Will the squids that will conquer the earth after humanity listen to me?
What will pianos be to them?
What about music?
Will there be empathy there?
Empathy that spans hundreds of thousands of years.
Ah, but the batteries won’t last that long.
