What happens when you stop hearing yourself in the music around you? In this episode of Ramble and Yap, host Josiane N’tchoreret-Mbiamany unpacks how Canadian music has shaped her understanding of belonging—and what’s at stake when local voices fade from the spotlight.

With reflections on growing up in a media landscapedominated by American sound, and a conversation with broadcaster Alan Cross, the episode explores how recognition, infrastructure and support all play a role in who gets to be heard. This isn’t just about policy or streaming—it’s about memory, identity, and why local art deserves to be more than an afterthought.
