Louis Matute

Saison 2 · Épisode 7

lundi 16 juin 2025 • Durée 17:43

Just a quick note.... This is the final episode of the second season. I had hoped to have 10 episodes, or at least eight, and so I apologize to you, the listener, for that, but unfortunately there were many complications, both with my moving, with artists who dropped out, or who just didn't work out. Nevertheless, I'm very grateful for those who did take the time and put their trust in me to tell their stories. I very much intend to continue this project and will begin recording new episodes again in the fall and look forward to presenting them to you at that time. Have yourselves a great summer. And don't forget you can follow us on facebook and instagram to know when the new season begins, as well as subscribing via your podcast app or platform of choice. And if you haven't listened to all the episodes, summer is a great time to do so.

Louis Matute is the son of a German mother and a Honduran father, but was born and raised in Switzerland. When he began pursuing a career as a jazz guitarist, he began to notice elements of Central and South American music finding their way into his compositions. These rhythms and melodies were also accompanied with feelings of sadness, nostalgia, and melancholy that seem to have been almost genetically transferred into him from his father. It has always been difficult for his father to tell him the stories of what happened to his family and why they fled Honduras. And so, Louis has put himself on a journey to uncover and understand the roots of these feelings he has. In the meantime, he has created his own folklore in his music to fill that space.

Rebecca m'Boungou/Kolinga

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

vendredi 4 avril 2025 • Durée 19:02

Just a brief note, we'll be taking another short break. Getting ready to record some more episodes, so we should be back by the beginning of May to finish up this second season. And as always, thanks for subscribing and spreading the word.

Before Rebecca m'Boungou was conceived, in the 1980's, her French mother became entranced by Congolese music, and followed that fascination to the country where she became the first white woman to dance with the National Ballet. And that's where she also met the man she would marry and have a child with. Rebecca was born and raised in the Basque Country and felt accepted as just another French girl, while at the same time understood she was different. And while her parents' marriage didn't last, it was her mother's love and respect for Congolese culture that she then gifted to her daughter. But yet, being “a half-white, French girl,” has led to identity conflicts. She understands these conflicts may just be in her head, such as is she legitimate to talk about Congo, or is she taking space away from someone who is from Brazzaville? But what she does understand is that her music allows her to celebrate her other culture, and helps her feel she is not just “another pessimistic human in this world.”

Meral Polat

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

samedi 15 mars 2025 • Durée 24:25

Meral Polat was focused on her successful acting career until she received a letter with a poem from her father in response to her question: “What does it mean for you to be human?” This poem would eventually led her to create the Meral Polat Trio (featuring Chris Doyle of Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra on keyboards). Being the daughter of Alevi Kurdish disapora parents, being born and raised in Amsterdam, being an actress and a musician, she doesn't take for granted the privileges and freedom in Europe. But she has always been in a dialogue with her multiple identities both within herself and with the world around her and this has now found expression in her music which they've dubbed: "Kurdish Soul."

Ëda Diaz

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

samedi 1 mars 2025 • Durée 19:20

Just a brief note, we'll be dropping three new episodes every two weeks, and if all goes well, there will be a few more after that before the summer break. Thank you all for tuning in, subscribing, and sharing this little project with your friends. We've surpassed 1000 downloads and I thank you very much. And if you're not subscribed, please do, so you won't miss any of these new episodes.

Ëda Diaz has created her own country -- "FranColumbia" or maybe "the French-Columbia Republic." Her father is Columbian and her mother is from Little Brittany. At various points in her life she felt drawn to one identity, then at another point pulled towards the other. It left her feeling fragmented until she realized that she can be both 100% Columbian and 100% French. And this is reflected, as well, in her music which celebrates all of her identity in one. For as she likes to say, "You can't cut up something that is love like it is sausage."

EPISODE SUMMARY:
Youka didn't really consider what it meant to be half-Japanese until she reached adulthood. As she says, she was just busy “doing her thing and growing up in Australia” and training as a violinist. But once she began to explore this side of herself, she found herself “magically” drawn to the shamisen, the traditional Japanese lute instrument. And now based in Berlin, she and her bandmates in Mitsune are making shamisen music for our not-so-traditional times.

Carmen Souza

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

dimanche 3 novembre 2024 • Durée 19:08

Just a quick note.... We'll be taking a break for the next month as I settle into my new apartment and record some new episodes. Be sure to subscribe so you will be alerted of the latest episodes. See you soon....

Carmen Souza was born and raised around Lisbon, Portugal, while her parents had both emigrated from Cape Verde. Just out of her teens, she auditioned for a gospel choir and there met her soon-to-be producer, Theo Pascal, who turned her on to jazz. And for the last quarter century they've been mining an original blend of jazz and Cape Verdean music they've created. But growing up, Souza quickly became aware that in Portugal she wasn't considered to be "true" Portuguese, regardless of what her passport said. Mostly based now in London, Carmen often taps in to these conflicts of identity and acceptance in her lyrics, which she mostly sings in Creole. But she believes the world can get past prejudice and that music serves as a border-busting means to that end.

Laíz

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

lundi 21 octobre 2024 • Durée 23:49

Laíz likes to say "she carries many nations on her back." And what she means is that she has absorbed influences from around the globe which has helped her build a wide and all-encompassing worldview. However, she began her life boxed in a very restrictive relgious culture within Brazil. But then at an early age, she was given a choice to change that, and it exploded her worldview. Moving to Berlin as a teenager, she began meeting other immigrants, and started adding pieces of each of their cultures into her concept of "world." These experiences found an expression thru music and rap. Culture became her new word for "god." And when it came time to record her first album, the musicians that came calling, aka the New Love Experience, represented all four corners of the planet. Her mission is to spread what she has learned from others to us, that we should never stop learning, and never stop expanding our understanding of the world, ourselves, and others.

Welcome to Season 2 (Teaser)

Saison 2

jeudi 17 octobre 2024 • Durée 02:45

Welcome to Season 2 of Hyphenated.

When I thought of creating this audio documentary series, I had no idea if anybody out there would be interested. Yet I felt it an important subject to explore.

And with strictly word of mouth – you telling someone who told someone else this series has had over 700 downloads to date..... More than I had imagined.

If you're new here, My goal is to put the spotlight on artists who are contributing to a conversation and our understanding about the global hyphenated culture we live in today, weaving their words and music to create a portrait of their journey to find themselves and their home.

I've decided this season to expand the borders of the project to include artists from all over Europe, not just within the EU.

Also, last season I had hoped to drop episodes every two weeks and it got a bit complicated because I was moving from one city to another. Thankfully I will finally be settled again next month but I didn't want to wait to have all the episodes recorded to launch the new season so I've decided to have a much looser schedule.

I'll be releasing the first two episodes over the next two weeks then take a break come back with a second group of three episodes, then take a break and return for another five episodes.

If that sounded a little bit confusing, well, I highly recommend you subscribe on whichever platform or app you use for podcasts to ensure you always receive word of the latest episode when it drops. You can also subscribe via our website and get updates by liking our Facebook page.

In a few days, I'll drop the first episode of the new season just before I head to WOMEX, the annual World Music Conference, where I'll hopefully be meeting and recording several artists for the season while there.

The first episode of season 2 spotlights Brazilian, German, MC and rapper Laiz, who at 25 years of age has seemed to have accumulated more insight into the world than many twice her age.

Then in two weeks, you'll meet Capo Verde, Portuguese jazz singer Carmen Souza. Souza and her partner Theo Pascal have been making an original style of Creole flavored jazz for nearly two decades now.

Defne Sahin

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

vendredi 31 mai 2024 • Durée 23:02

Just a brief note before we begin this episode. As noted in the last post, I've been a bit overwhelmed with moving and also had complications with booking the next couple of artists. And so I fell behind in my goal to have 10 episodes for this season. Therefore, I've decided to try to uncomplicate my life. And for that reason, this will be the final episode of season one. So please don't delete Hyphenated from your podcast app. Stay tuned and we will be back soon. I already have some commitments from a couple of artists for the second season which will launch in the fall. For those of you who have been following this project and for those of you who have participated in this project, I thank you. It's meant so much to me to make this audio documentary series and bring it to you.... And now on with the show.

Defne's grandparents and then her parents migrated to Germany from Turkey. And they had a dream of integration for Defne, the child born in this other country. To not just straddle between two cultures, but to be a fusion of the two. But as she grew up, it could sometimes seem more of a burden than a dream for her. On her first album, Yasamak, she turned to the words of a dissident Turkish poet who dreamed of a better world for her song lyrics. While this experiment in cultural fusion was critically acclaimed, she felt she was now boxed in as “the jazz singer who sings in Turkish.” So for her second album, Unravel, she broke out of that box singing in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, having spent time living in the States, Spain, and Brazil. On her most recent album, Hope, she “collaborated” with 19th century American poet Emily Dickenson, again marrying a poet's words to song in which she still hopes, and offers to give us hope, to keep hope alive, of that dream for a better world.

A Short Break

Saison 1

mardi 14 mai 2024 • Durée 01:46

This is Hyphenated, and I'm your host Ron Deutsch.

I regret to tell you that there is no episode this week. I spent the last month moving, and I'm still in the process of it all, and so I fell behind in the schedule. But rest assured, there will be a new episode in your feed in two weeks' time.

And just to fill you in, there will be a total of three more episodes to complete this first season. season, making a total of ten episodes. I will then take a summer break and then start working on season two, which I hope to launch in the beginning of October.

I also want to take a moment here to thank you all for downloading and following this project, and especially a big shout out to all the artists who have given their time and shared their stories.

When I decided to start I I knew there were stories out there to find, but wasn't sure if I could find them, if the artist would be willing to share them, wasn't sure if I could then capture them and make something that honored their stories. And finally, I didn't even know if there was gonna be an audience out there for this. And I have to tell you, it's been even more amazing than I imagined.

So thank you, thank you very much.

And do subscribe on your favorite podcast site or app to be sure to receive the latest episodes. And please spread the word. The best way for a project like this to grow is by word of mouth.

So take care, be well, and we'll see you in two weeks with a new episode.
