"content": "\u003cp>In March 2011, a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit northeastern Japan. The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City. Cmdr. Bill Steven, of the Del Norte County Sheriff's Department, remembers answering a phone call one night in April 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d received a call from some people that said, 'Hey, there’s something suspicious happening on South Beach.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238197745\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first he thought people were stealing things from the harbor. But after he and other o\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">fficers from the Sheriff’s Department arrived, he saw that people were actually trying to lift an object out of the water. It was a small 20-foot fishing boat that washed up on the beach.

He never thought anything more could come out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just thought it was something fun to do. You know, like send the boat back and it would be cool.

Crescent City has a long history with tsunamis. One nearly destroyed the town in 1964, and in 2011 part of its harbor was damaged from the same Japanese tsunami when it moved across the Pacific.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few more people found out about the boat, including Humboldt State University geologist Lori Dengler. She recognized the boat's origins because she studied recovery efforts after the 2011 tsunami and earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew where it had come from. I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate. She also used social media to find out if anyone wanted Kamome back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I did was just post a little note on the Facebook page. It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.' And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine.

The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City.

I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate.

It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.'

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Zakir Hussain belongs to one of Northern India’s most distinguished musical dynasties, and ever since he landed in the Bay Area in the early 1970s he’s sought out opportunities to collaborate with musicians far afield from the Hindustani classical tradition in which he was raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first glance the swirling jigs and reels and sumptuous ballads of traditional Celtic music might seem like a particularly long stretch for Hussain. But the United Kingdom and India are tied together by a great deal of history, a colonial legacy on which the sun has yet to set. Consider: Hussain’s father, tabla legend Alla Rakha, spent the first three decades of his life as a British subject, and Great Britain’s centuries-long rule of the subcontinent led to countless informal East-meets-West musical encounters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/237171024\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history is one of several paths that led Hussain, the world’s foremost tabla virtuoso, to his latest cross-cultural exploration, \"Distant Kin\" (Moment Records). It’s a nine-piece project that brings together a new generation of classically trained Indian masters with a prodigious cast of players from across the Celtic world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This does go back a couple of hundred years,” Hussain told me in an interview earlier this year. “Indian musicians were drafted into the British army’s marching bands, and pipers and big bass drums were a lot like the shehnai and Punjabi dhol. I grew up hearing processions and wedding bands with the pipes and a bodhrán-like frame drum played in a procession. Those sounds stuck with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin.jpg\" alt='The \"Distant Kin\" album cover' width=\"1500\" height=\"1355\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10791011\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin.jpg 1500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin-400x361.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin-800x723.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin-768x694.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin-1440x1301.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin-1180x1066.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DistantKin-960x867.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he’s not playing classical recitals or writing film scores, Hussain has dedicated himself to building musical bridges. The longtime Marin resident was a founding member of the seminal Indo-jazz ensemble Shakti. He’s collaborated widely with Yo-Yo Ma, and he earned the first Grammy Award for a world music album with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart’s \"Planet Drum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Indo-Celtic concept first got a test drive a few years ago when a Glasgow festival invited Hussain to participate in a concert series called Celtic Connections. He expanded the framework for this project\u003cem>, \u003c/em>which was recorded last spring in San Francisco at the SFJAZZ Center (where Hussain is in the midst of a stint as a resident artistic director). The concert concluded a North American tour, and the music feels utterly organic and lived in. Hussain often borrows the Celtic habit of weaving tunes together as medleys, seamlessly moving from one tradition to another, like on the sinuously swaying “Trinkamp/Tajir.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHFro4tRy3g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of what makes the album so consistently enthralling is that Hussain constructed the ensemble by twinning instruments to highlight the way the traditions draw on similar tonalities. His tablas work in tandem with John Joe Kelly’s Irish frame drum bodhrán. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scottish fiddlers Charlie McKerron and Patsy Reid (who co-founded the acclaimed band Breabach) trade lines with Indian violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan. And on “Michael’s Matches/Rakesh’s Bansuri” Brittany’s Jean-Michel Veillon, a wooden flute player, is paired with bamboo flute Rakesh Chaurasia (yes, he’s the nephew and disciple of his legendary uncle, Hariprasad Chaurasia).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fUxP_Bezc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dublin guitarist Tony Byrne, a rhythmic dynamo, deserves a fair amount of credit for the way the ensemble locks together so effectively. In an interview earlier this year he told me that he grew up listening to Shakti and reveres the group’s guitarist, jazz great John McLaughlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McLaughlin’s dedication to classical Indian music was another path that led to \"Distant Kin,\" as Hussain decided he wanted to reciprocate his friend’s passion by collaborating with traditional Scottish players (the ancestry of the Yorkshire-born McLaughlin). While this music flows from a history of colonial rule, \"Distant Kin\" embodies a far more powerful dynamic, as these musicians find a common language without sacrificing a bit of their identity.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the United Kingdom and India are tied together by a great deal of history, a colonial legacy on which the sun has yet to set. Consider: Hussain’s father, tabla legend Alla Rakha, spent the first three decades of his life as a British subject, and Great Britain’s centuries-long rule of the subcontinent led to countless informal East-meets-West musical encounters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/237171024&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/237171024'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history is one of several paths that led Hussain, the world’s foremost tabla virtuoso, to his latest cross-cultural exploration, \"Distant Kin\" (Moment Records). It’s a nine-piece project that brings together a new generation of classically trained Indian masters with a prodigious cast of players from across the Celtic world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This does go back a couple of hundred years,” Hussain told me in an interview earlier this year. “Indian musicians were drafted into the British army’s marching bands, and pipers and big bass drums were a lot like the shehnai and Punjabi dhol. I grew up hearing processions and wedding bands with the pipes and a bodhrán-like frame drum played in a procession. Those sounds stuck with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The longtime Marin resident was a founding member of the seminal Indo-jazz ensemble Shakti. He’s collaborated widely with Yo-Yo Ma, and he earned the first Grammy Award for a world music album with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart’s \"Planet Drum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Indo-Celtic concept first got a test drive a few years ago when a Glasgow festival invited Hussain to participate in a concert series called Celtic Connections. He expanded the framework for this project\u003cem>, \u003c/em>which was recorded last spring in San Francisco at the SFJAZZ Center (where Hussain is in the midst of a stint as a resident artistic director). The concert concluded a North American tour, and the music feels utterly organic and lived in. Hussain often borrows the Celtic habit of weaving tunes together as medleys, seamlessly moving from one tradition to another, like on the sinuously swaying “Trinkamp/Tajir.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/zHFro4tRy3g'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/zHFro4tRy3g'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Part of what makes the album so consistently enthralling is that Hussain constructed the ensemble by twinning instruments to highlight the way the traditions draw on similar tonalities. His tablas work in tandem with John Joe Kelly’s Irish frame drum bodhrán. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scottish fiddlers Charlie McKerron and Patsy Reid (who co-founded the acclaimed band Breabach) trade lines with Indian violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan. And on “Michael’s Matches/Rakesh’s Bansuri” Brittany’s Jean-Michel Veillon, a wooden flute player, is paired with bamboo flute Rakesh Chaurasia (yes, he’s the nephew and disciple of his legendary uncle, Hariprasad Chaurasia).\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/c-fUxP_Bezc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/c-fUxP_Bezc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Dublin guitarist Tony Byrne, a rhythmic dynamo, deserves a fair amount of credit for the way the ensemble locks together so effectively. In an interview earlier this year he told me that he grew up listening to Shakti and reveres the group’s guitarist, jazz great John McLaughlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McLaughlin’s dedication to classical Indian music was another path that led to \"Distant Kin,\" as Hussain decided he wanted to reciprocate his friend’s passion by collaborating with traditional Scottish players (the ancestry of the Yorkshire-born McLaughlin). While this music flows from a history of colonial rule, \"Distant Kin\" embodies a far more powerful dynamic, as these musicians find a common language without sacrificing a bit of their identity.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Chappatte says they wanted to reveal the humanity of the inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that’s what is a bit unsettling, might be unsettling for some viewers, because death row is a place, is a forgotten place where we put, as a society we put people that are seen as monsters, and we don’t pay attention to what’s going on there. And what you see through the art is actually, you see beauty, you see human emotions,” Chappatte said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 70 framed drawings and paintings line the walls.

Chappatte said he reached out to conservative cartoonists but they, too, were against capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the cartoonists says that he’s describing in one of his cartoons that he was for death penalty, then changed his mind. Another of the conservative cartoonists told me, ‘You know what, I’m pro-life all the way, so I’m anti-abortion and anti-death penalty,’ ” Chappatte recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"rectangular\" size=\"large\" ids=\"10790941,10790943\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cartoonist who changed his mind about the death penalty is Jack Ohman, editorial cartoonist for the Sacramento Bee and president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be executing somebody who — even if they had committed the crime — I don’t think that sends the right signal. As a society, if you’re saying killing is wrong, killing is wrong. We shouldn’t be killing,” Ohman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Widmann says “Windows on Death Row” is not about taking sides between criminals and victims. She points out that the group “Murder Victims’ Families for Human Rights” is one of the show’s sponsors. But she does want visitors to think about how race and class factor into how likely defendants are to be sentenced to death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, look at this system. It’s broken. I mean, how come terrible murderers are not on death row, and how come some are? How come some people have money to hire great lawyers, and how come others don’t?” Widmann says. “It has nothing to do with empathy with criminals, you see what I mean?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Windows on Death Row” will travel to North Carolina and Ohio after it closes in Los Angeles on Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Besides being ubiquitous this time of year, they were all written by Jewish composers, mostly in the 1940s and ‘50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if Jews are writing all the Christmas classics, who’s writing the Hanukkah songs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/236144190″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are actually a lot of Hanukkah songs, says Lihi Shadmi, an early childhood educator at the Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center in Los Angeles. Most of us just haven’t learned them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up in an Israeli household, so for me there are so many Hanukkah songs,” Shadi said. “And most of them are in Hebrew.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent weekday morning, Shadmi led a group of 4-year-olds in a Hanukkah singalong, including the classics “I Have a Little Dreidel” and “Oh Chanukah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the eight nights of Hanukkah, Jews traditionally light candles, recite blessings and sing songs marking the victory of a group of Jewish rebels against their Syrian rulers more than 2,000 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best-known Hanukkah song is also the oldest: the hymn “Maoz Tzur,” or “Rock of Ages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQuyCNiHFAw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The melody of Maoz Tzur comes out of a concatenation of influences of different hymn melodies that were done in the 17th century, during the time period of the German Reformation. And various scholars who have looked at it have been able to trace the origins of these melodies to these hymns. And by the late 18th, early 19th century we get Maoz Tzur in the framework that we know it today,” said Mark Kligman, a professor of Jewish music at UCLA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That melody has been used in different parts of the Jewish liturgy, including for the candle blessings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But most of the Hanukkah songs we know today can be traced back to the Tin Pan Alley era of the 1910s and ’20s, when Jewish immigrants in New York created a whole new genre of more playful Hanukkah songs.
