In this episode we talk with Marié Abe, whose article “Sounding Against Nuclear Power in Post-3.11 Japan: Resonances of Silence and Chindon-ya” was recently published in the journal, Ethnomusicology. Abe explores the Japanese musical advertisement practice chindon-ya and how it has become politicized as the sounds of anti-nuclear street protests after the 3.11 nuclear disaster. Abe examines the tensions between chindon-ya’s role in street protests and the socially mandated practice of the silence of jishuku. Marié Abe is assistant professor of music at Boston University.

The accordion, one of the most fascinating, unique and without question culturally important musical instruments that all of us pelangueros can’t get enough of. Yet to be honest, we actually know very little about these squeezable typewriter-looking devices. That is why we knew we had to dedicate an entire episode to the accordion and why we were so excited to welcome Professor of Ethnomusicology at Boston University, Co-Producer of Public Radio International’s Squeeze Box Stories and bad-ass acordeonista of the group Debo Band—Marié Abe. Listen as we learn about the accordion’s origins and its travels through Europe, Africa, the Americas and all the way to Japan. Tracklist: Ferew Hilu – Eshururu Debo Band – Ambassel Debo Band – DC Flower Los Cholos de Pasto – Cumbia de O. Vreeskin Alejo Durán – Mi pedazo de acordeón Squeezebox Stories – Trailer Los Yukinos – De party con las malandrinas Los Perlas – Tener o no tener El Cieguito de Nagua – La bailadora José Santiago Vega – No me hable estrujao 北原謙二 – 銀座パチャンが通り  (Kenji Kitahara – Ginza Pachanga) Ferro Gaita – Tareza Petar Ralchev – To the north of Bulgaria Fred Frith – Hands of the juggler
