    16: Smiz

    Sam Setchko better known as Simsamiza or Smiz if you happen to be in to brevity. Born in Oakland, California little Smiz was a rugged renegade who’d gone rogue and found his heart skating the streets of the Bay Area whilst discovering the intrinsic rhythms of all things. Eventually ascertaining that frequency and rhythm were different expressions or density’s of the same fundamental value he’s spent a lifetime artistically collaborating and performing in a myriad of mediums that sometimes are traditional but often involve chaotic spirals in to uncharted and unique eclectic expressions most humans find repulsive for about 10-20 years. He’s the most widely unknown philosopher of his time. This interview was orignally recored on January 10, 2022.

    12: Aminah Chishti

    Aminah Chishti Qawwal is a leading force in the art of traditional qawwali tabla. As a student of the great Ustad Dildar Hussain Khan (tabla player for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for 28 years), Aminah has embodied this music through years of study and commitment. She has challenged the cultural confines of women in Pakistan and India not only by performing tabla in an all-male arena, but also by receiving permission to perform at the shrines of Pakistan's greatest Sufi saints, where women haven't traditionally been allowed to play. Aminah represents a new bridge between East and West in a cultural exchange rooted in ancient tradition. This interview illuminates Aminah’s journey into this rich heritage.
