 On Songs For Freedom, we highlight some of the powerful music that has been released or revived as a direct response to ongoing systemic racism against Black people and the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and too many others at the hands of police. Diversity is at the core of the music that we share and cover on the Noise Pop Podcast and on this episode, we’re using this platform to focus on and continue to amplify black voices and art during this crucial time. No justice, no peace.

His most approachable work to date, 'This Is How You Smile' is a tropicalia-tinged experimental pop album that shows that no matter the shade of our skin, we all ride the same emotional waves through this world.    Helado Negro My Mix Track List    Luiza Brina e o Liquidificador - "Costi"  Luiz Bonfá - "Enchanted Mirror" Beverly Glenn-Copeland - "Sunset Village" Frank Harris & Maria Marquez - "Loveroom" Helado Negro - "Sabana de Luz" (Live at KCRW)    Other Songs Heard In Episode    Baio - "Endless Rhythm" (Noise Pop Podcast Theme Song) Helado Negro - "November 7" Helado Negro - "Running" Helado Negro - "Come Be Me" Helado Negro - "Las Preguntas"    Links Mentioned In Episode   ALBUM: Music From Memory - Outro Tempo II: Electronic And Contemporary Music From Brazil 1984-1996 DOCUMENTARY: Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story (Trailer) PODCAST: The S-Town Podcast (featuring score by Helado Negro)
