In the second part, there is a large load of bread which the Father of the family cannot cut. After the fourth, it ends, “The real riddle was the mountains.” In the first section he talks about the four ways the Prometheus legend can be viewed. There are four flash fiction pieces and they seem much more like story ideas than stories. I really don’t understand what was going on with these previously unpublished stories by Kafka (translated by Michael Hofmann). This has been a great introduction to a new form of music for me. Her parting words are that each person’s contribution is unique and valuable and can be of service to my community and my family. I rather like it.įor the final song, “Bad Habits,” she stands up and plays the bongos: “put your phone down and stand with me.” The catchy chorus of the song is “all my bad habits have got to got to go.”

The music has fun beats and a downplayed vocal delivery.

Madame Gandhi’s clear, soft voice and swells of percussion give you the necessary space to meditate on her message of inclusion and equality. On tour and video sets, to writing socially-conscious lyrics that challenge the white male-dominated music industry. She continues, “if we are not brave enough to tell our stories end to end, somebody else will. She uses music to help elevate and celebrate female voices, from working with primarily queer women BIPOC on tour and video sets, to writing socially-conscious lyrics that challenge the white male-dominated music industry. She’s intentional with everything she does, including activism that focuses primarily on gender liberation. And they seem to be modified in some way, too.īefore “Moon in the Sky,” she says “I don’t want our identities defined according to how oppressed we are.” She plays cool-sounding drums–she has wonderfully diverse sounds from that tiny hand drum. Wake up in the morning / hit space bar and start recording “Waiting For Me” is about returning to the earth–returning to nature. Her music is inspired by her South Indian heritage and she lights a stick of palo santo.įor the first two songs she plays the damaru (I think). The live elements are her vocals (soft and gentle with a lot of nonsense syllables amid the good vibe lyrics) and her wonderful hand drums. Madame Gandhi’s is surrounded by her yellow bongos and congas, a yellow desk from her youth and a yellow nightstand, her Tiny Desk (home) concert lighting nods to the lavender-lemon artwork of her 2019 Visions EP. That’s a constant theme with these Home Tiny Desks–they seem even more geared toward introducing lesser known artists to the world. SOUNDTRACK: MADAME GANDHI-Tiny Desk (Home) Concert #38 (June 24, 2020).
