Michael FrantiRebel Music
At a time when critics accuse the music industry of being apolitical, Soundcheck today features two artists with a strong socially conscious bent. Politically minded soul artist Michael Franti brings his funk band Spearhead in for a live performance, and also to talk about how he has circumvented traditional record labels by delivering his music using the Internet and other non-traditional methods. Also, members of the Chilean band Inti-Illimani stop by for a live performance in the WNYC studios. Formed in the 1960s by engineering students in Chile who ended up in exile in Italy, the 8-piece band is dedicated to exploring indigenous South American cultures, using a gripping blend of winds, strings and percussion.
