Gilles Peterson with Nai Palm (Australia/Oceania)

amessagefrom.earth
As part of WeTransfer's 40th anniversary celebrations of NASA's Golden Record project, Gilles Peterson reflects on the planet earth of today, interviewing 6 musicians from 6 continents, reflecting on how their upbringing, both local and global, has shaped their creative direction.
Nai Palm is lead singer of Hiatus Kaiyote and a solo artist in her own right, born in Melbourne, Australia. Nai Palm explores her childhood in Melbourne and the surrounding countryside, the musical melting pot of her home city, and the importance of the sometimes overlooked local folk traditions of the aborigine communities.

Most Australian people you meet would never admit that Australia has a race issue. I remember getting into a heated debate with a man who just couldn't accept that the music he loved, rock n roll, originated in the black community.

Heihachi Honda true

Most Australians? No: some. Australian lawyers, in particular, have continuously pressed governments to address and reduce the disparity in opportunity faced by Australians of aboriginal descent. It's a disparity which exists in most countries where a small indigenous population has been displaced, in the past, by a large and different ethnic group with more advanced technology - on virtually every continent. Some governments take it seriously, others don't.
And it's worth pointing out rock n roll actually was a multiracial invention - in the US South in the mid-1950s. Great black and white musicians blended delta blues, Chicago blues, gospel, country and bluegrass and produced something new. The greatest early rock records were made by black and white musicians and singers, collaborating. The great session musicians who played on decades of rock and roll hits in New York, Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Detroit, combined black and white musicians and singers. Influential white rock bands of the 1960s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin frequently referenced their respect and admiration for the black musicians who inspired them. But you're right - some people know very little about how rock and roll developed.

Black Americans to be exact.

Yeh. I been to Oz and they hate the blax there. They got a fucking candy with a tar baby cartoon on it called Sambo. Anyone who doesn't have the skin complexion of the original ancestors is called something like a mud wallow or something. That shit's deep in Ozzy culture, yo.

Some singers have such a warm/soothing voice when speaking normally, she does too.

[@District41O]

So much makes sense about her solo album and the music videos from there with the fire dancing and the aboriginal music. Truly fascinating person
