Find out how 5a Punkada changes the perceptions of people!

Season two's second episode features Hugo Ferreira, director of Omnichord. It is a cultural cooperative that edits, manages and represents musical artists. Hugo, who is one of the founders of Omnichord, strongly believes in the power of music and its ability to make a difference.

In this episode of Dive in with (e)me, Hugo tells us the journey of 5ª Punkada, a rock band whose members suffer from cerebral palsy or Down's Syndrome, and explains how this band overcomes the barriers it encounters. 5ª Punkada is "the most special band we've ever played with", said Chris Martin (Coldplay), as they are a real inspiration to artists with specific needs and to the music industry in general.

5ª Punkada will perform at the Philharmonie Luxembourg on 23 September 2023: book your ticket so you can see their magic!

Quel rôle de la musique pour les personnes LGBTIQ+ demandeuses de protection internationale ?

Dans ce podcast, nous accueillons Didier Schneider, Directeur du Centre CIGALE, et Franklin, jeune homme qui demande l'asile au Luxembourg et qui bénéficie du soutien du CIGALE. Le CIGALE est un centre professionnel au Luxembourg qui offre des conseils et un soutien à toute personne ayant des questions concernant l'orientation sexuelle, le coming-out et l'identité de genre.

En effet, les personnes LGBTIQ+ DPI sont dans une situation particulièrement à risque d'exclusion. Dans ce podcast, nous évoquerons plusieurs aspects en lien avec la musique :

• le rôle des musiques pour dire via des codes ce dont les personnes LGBTIQ+ ne pouvaient pas parler dans leurs pays d'origine,

• mais aussi la difficulté et le besoin de mettre en place des projets de groupe artistiques et musicaux pour libérer la parole de ces personnes lors de leur arrivée au Luxembourg, où les personnes LGBTIQ+ DPI ne se sentent pas libres d'évoquer ces sujets dans leurs centres d'accueil

Leurs recommandations musicales ?

A social entrepreneur committed to a core life’s mission as co-founder of El Sistema Greece, Anis believes in community arts projects as a tool for social inclusion.

He is the Managing Director of the Community Arts Network.

In this episode, Anis discusses with Sarah Bergdoll how, in El Sistema, Art is not seen as a mere decoration but as something useful for inclusion and social change...

El Sistema plays a crucial role for inclusion between populations and the Greek population.

Finally, the different obstacles and challenges the project is confronted with are debated.

Anis' cultural recommandation :

• Listen to this rap song : Love Waits. This clip was done by El Sistema Greece in the frame of the Lullaby Project, in partnership with Carnegie Hall. Anser and Andriana wrote this rap song about love, forgiveness and second chances ; it was dedicated to Andriana's underaged son who is detained in prison.
