    Antonio Truyols: In the Key of Solidarity with Palestine

    In this episode of The Rhythm of Rebellion, Taína Asili speaks with Antonio Truyols, a brilliant pianist, composer, and educator of Peruvian, Spanish, and Puerto Rican descent. Trained in both jazz and classical traditions, Antonio’s music weaves together sounds from Latin jazz and folkloric rhythms to hip hop and beyond. He’s toured internationally, worked with artists like Wynton Marsalis and Paquito D’Rivera, and composes music that is as emotionally rich as it is politically urgent. Taína Asili first discovered Antonio Truyols through the joyful, viral reels he makes with his daughter, Vanessa Imani. But it was his song “Rise Up”, centered on Palestine, that revealed the full power of his voice as a musician for liberation, a force made even more clear in his new album, Let It Be A Tale: The Palestine Quartet.🎙️ The Rhythm of Rebellion is a podcast by Taína Asili, a dynamic New York-based Puerto Rican singer, interdisciplinary artist and activist.

    In this episode of The Rhythm of Rebellion, Taína Asili speaks with Alsarah, a Sudanese-born singer, songwriter, and founder of Alsarah & the Nubatones, known for crafting a sound she calls East-African retro-pop. Born in Khartoum and raised in exile after fleeing political violence, her music reflects the complexity of migration, identity, and revolution. In this episode, she shares the story behind her new album Mawasim Altariq or Seasons of the Road — five years in the making — shaped by the Sudanese revolution, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the shifting landscapes of war and displacement. We also discuss her work as a co-founder of Sunduq Al Sudan, a mutual aid initiative uplifting grassroots response efforts through advocacy, artivism, and community solidarity.🎙️ The Rhythm of Rebellion is a podcast by Taína Asili—a dynamic New York-based Puerto Rican singer, interdisciplinary artist and activist.
