This week, we revisit a dynamic show featuring two musical acts that are countercultural icons in their own ways and in separate countries. American-born sisters, Leah Song and Chloe Smith, along with their band Rising Appalachia, share their unique brand of “Hillbilly World Music” and chat about how they promote the slow movement in their touring practices. Now exiled in Sweden, Egyptian Ramy Essam travels to eTown to share the songs that led to his becoming the voice of the 2011 Egyptian revolution that overthrew an oppressive leader. Also with us is Joseph Teipel who shares his story about Re:Vision, an organization dedicated to building food independence in the Westwood neighborhood of Denver.
