אודות פרק זה
Amano is a multidisciplinary artist with roots in Ireland and Japan. Her practice includes sean-nós, vocal improvisation and folk storytelling. She’s working to de-colonise the Irish language through music, and writes beautiful, evocative and often politically charged poetry and spoken word.
She reads her poem, 'Underpass 6' and we've a lovely talk about sean-nós singing, the everyday practice of decolonising ourselves, how activism fuels her art, being a culchie from both Ireland and Japan and much more.
The music you hear throughout this programme is all from Thread the gorgeous experimental Irish-language album she created with Kalabanx, and recorded by GMC Beats, in the Kabin Studio.
