Sonido 33: Latin American stories from the other southA radio documentary seriesTen life stories connected by and recorded at the 33rd parallel south, the geographical latitude crossing the main urban regions of the Southern Cone and Australia, linking the Latin American and Oceanian continents and histories.Sonido 33 assembles stories of asylum, migration, and solidarity, and the sounds of the key political and social events that shaped them. Ten one-hour (plus) episodes portray the modern history of Latin America, focusing on the crucial period from the 1970s to the 1990s. This was a time when the continent radically changed, becoming a political laboratory for the world. It was also during these decades that Latin American migration to Australia peaked, in what was arguably the last refugee wave to be fully welcomed. A powerful solidarity movement helped Australians learn about Latin America and created a widespread popular awareness of the continent for the first time in the nation's history.Eight episodes feature Chilean, Argentine, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Venezuelan-Italian refugees and migrants speaking in their own language. Two episodes in English present in-depth accounts by Australian solidarity activists. Young members of the Latin American and Australian communities introduce ten compelling stories of political militancy and imprisonment, underground activism, musicianship, internationalism, and plain heroism.The program was produced and edited by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.latitudes33.au/">Pablo Nadki Leighton</a>, and it was supported by the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cbf.org.au/">Community Broadcasting Foundation</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.radioskidrow.org/">Radio Skid Row</a>, 88.9FM, Marrickville, NSW.Presenters: Cosima Trezise, Bela Trezise, Anabel Morales, Fernando López, Dilan Ortiz, Marlow Ross, Valentina Nadki and Diego Nadki.Radio Skid Row managers: Manu Monteiro and Anthony Dockrill.Music: Cosima Trezise, Bela Trezise, and Pablo Nadki.Websites:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.latitudes33.au/p/sonido-33.html">https://www.latitudes33.au/p/sonido-33.html</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://radioskidrow.org/shows/sonido-33/">https://radioskidrow.org/shows/sonido-33/</a>Contact: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:latitudesplatform@gmail.com">latitudesplatform@gmail.com</a>
