about

This Dr Das Dub Of Simplicity Mix has a special intro by 9 year old Rebel Indigenous Child.She was so enthusiasti about being part of the project that she took her mom's recorder and by herself independently recorded herself doing the intro ! in the process becoming IR's youngest sound engineer .
On this IR Indigenous Resistance reworking of dj Soundar & Jklur "Dravidian Spirit" you hear some new elements in this mix which was done by Dr Das. Dub Jamaican writer Dutty Bookman voices the following thoughts by indigenous activist John Trudell former chairperson of the American Indian Movement ..An activist whose power of oratory was so feared by the F.B.I that they had a 20,000 page file on him.
'Leaders know you can't trust one who follows.Followers know not to trust one who leads.They say whoever has the most money has the most power.That's not true.Whoever makes the most money ,basically is greedy !They say whoever controls the political vote system that's power.No thats not power.That's exploitation and deceit!But if we believe these things are power then obviously we dont know ourselves and we don't trust ourselves enough to know that we are connected to the real power source which is life and earth." These and other words by John Trudell can be found in the new IR book " IR 30 Indigenous Visions In Dub" A PDF of the kindle edition of the IR30 book will be available for those who buy the entire IR29 album.

Visionary Jamaican musican Sawandi also contributed new soulful keyboard textures and percussion to the track and Dr Das in addition to his subtle and masterful dub mixing technique did some looping and restructuring of the beautiful & ethereal original track that contributed greatly to taking it to a new dubfull place..The track begins with the sound of the voices of children at a Bogota,Colombia school reading live the words from a passage of the book by Dutty Bookman " Tried & True :Revelations Of A Rebellious Youth" ( available here www.createspace.com/3603858)
Dj Soundar explains about the origin of the use of the word
'Dravidian title " " The Dravidian are the indigenous people of South India, they jave been exploited and marginalize by the Brahmin-Aryan peoples for thousand of years.

The Dravidian culture is the foundation of the whole south-east asians culture.

They are the founder of the Mohenjo Daro and Harrapa cities in the Indus Valley dated back 6000 years ago.

On the original track of Dravidian Spirit you can heard some percussions rythms and they are typically south indian - dravidian rythms.

In my back ground, my father is south indian (he talks tamil) and my mother is half yemenie, egypthian and somalian so it's one the reason too that i choose the term Dravidian."

The track was mixed by Dr Das and his dub mixing techniques will be further showcased on his upcoming album 'Preparing 4 War'.That's Dr Das in the photo by Agni Sukara accompanying the notes for this track wearing an IR
shirt designed by Dubdem in memory of Patoxo warrior Galdino.**( please note this t shirt is not for sale it is made for those who do subversive work for IR )
