Each \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/sets/podcasts\">two-hour episode\u003c/a> is filled with fun facts about Arabic music and artists, sprinkled across an array of indie Arabic tracks and remixes — everything from Arabic rock, electronica, jazz, pop, hip-hop and more. He also features \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/sets/arabology-interviews\">interviews\u003c/a> with musicians, actors, poets and other culture makers on the show, which began as a weekly live program on KZSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you hear about Arabic music, it just sounds foreign to so many people,” Salti said. “And it gets mixed in with religious chants and religion and Islam — all of which are beautiful — but there’s a whole other genre of Arabic music that is very secular.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UFCqtbKv_k\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also hopes that by exposing audiences to the diversity of sounds and stories of various Arab artists, the show will help push back against the stereotypes and demonization of Arabs and Arab Americans in society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If somebody walks away with the idea that, ‘wow, Arabic music isn’t as weird as I would have thought,’ or change their mind about the systematic demonization we see of Muslims, that would be what I want,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A lifelong love of music\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salti’s love for Arabic music started early. “Music has been my best friend since childhood,” Salti said. He grew up in Lebanon, and then in Jordan when his parents moved the family there after the Lebanese Civil War broke out in 1975.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got to Jordan, I was so lonely, and I missed Lebanon so much,” he said. “So I would turn to music and Arabic music — especially the music of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXmVTvVMQz_fggy66HlgQQ\">Fairuz\u003c/a>, who is the number one Lebanese diva.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1983, Salti moved to the U.S. to study at Santa Clara University. Just 17 years old and navigating the culture shock on his own, he again turned to music to help him cope. He credits the couple of cassettes of Arabic music he brought to California with getting him through college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his peers, Salti’s ear for music stood out. At graduation, he and his friends made and exchanged cassette mixtapes as gifts. For his mixtape, he included songs with lyrics in English and French, plus some songs in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I would wait to see the reaction,” Salti said. “And sure enough, I would always get positive feedback. And they would tell me … ‘the way you choose music is so great. You should have a radio show one day.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A show where indie Arab artists shine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salti is especially known for featuring indie artists, women artists and LGBTQ artists on \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em> — the singers and musicians often ignored by mainstream Arabic radio stations, particularly in more conservative areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can play that kind of music right here at KZSU in Arabic and not have to censor it,” Salti said. “In fact, I can praise it and disseminate it because it is beautiful, powerful music that unfortunately doesn’t get heard enough in the Arab world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11993199\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11993199\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing black clothing points at a piece of paper and stands with a woman who is holding the paper with a picture board and festive lights behind them.\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Arabology’ host Ramzi Salti with Lebanese singer Yasmine Hamdan at the KZSU radio station at Stanford University in November 2017. \u003ccite>(Photo courtesy of Ramzi Salti)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He’s hosted shows that have focused solely on Arab women’s voices. The music of Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://yasminehamdan.com/en/#/#home\">Yasmine Hamdan\u003c/a> — who Salti refers to as “the queen of underground Lebanese music” — is featured often, and Hamdan herself has been a \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/yasminehamdan2017\">guest on the show\u003c/a>. Her 2009 electronic synthpop album \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mNDTYjeKL3sOh2tk9DHu5izNioGedkb9Y\">\u003ci>Arabology\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, as part of the duo Y.A.S., inspired the name of Salti’s podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another artist he’s interviewed and played often on the show is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hamed.sinno/?hl=en\">Hamed Sinno\u003c/a>, who is openly gay. Sinno was the lead singer of the Lebanese band \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPvgAtgTNM\">Mashrou’ Leila\u003c/a> until the group disbanded in 2022 due to harassment and hate campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, they released a song titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1GOmPx-Ba8\">“Shim El Yasmine,”\u003c/a> which translates to “Smell the Jasmine.” It’s a tender ballad about Sinno’s break-up with a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a moment because I think it was the first time we had an openly gay Muslim singer sing in Arabic about what [they are] going through,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a2sOF_hhKw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said the common theme in all the music he plays is coexistence, whether it’s from artists living on the margins of Arab society or songs with more explicit messages of unity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his go-to artists in the latter vein is Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://www.taniasaleh.com/\">Tania Saleh\u003c/a> and her song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PbJg9v0CM\">“Omar and Ali.”\u003c/a> In it, she encourages Sunni and Shia Muslims to end their fighting and make peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says, ‘Get up Omar, get up Ali, shake hands and become brothers again,’” Salti explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a more personal level, I myself happen to be a Christian Arab, but I’m always assumed to be Muslim,” he added. “A lot of people think the whole Arab world is Muslim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he doesn’t typically correct people because he doesn’t want to feed an idea that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. But it’s a reminder of the stereotypes he and other Arabs and Arab Americans face — and an added motivation for him to continue showcasing different Arab communities and perspectives through his show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We need to build bridges’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ramzi’s dedication to amplifying indie Arab musicians has built him a solid reputation in that scene. Today, the show is a go-to platform for emerging Arab and Arab American musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a stage where every morning when I look at my email, and I look at my messages, there are people telling me about other people, [or] that I need to discover this band. Some bands send me their demos,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, Salti has been pre-recording his shows on a more sporadic schedule and releasing them as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/p/all-my-podcasts.html\">podcast\u003c/a> on streaming platforms, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyf1lyybLSdVr6N4eOuLe0w\">video podcast\u003c/a> on YouTube. This summer, he’s spending time in Jordan, where he plans to interview artists for new episodes of \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em>. He otherwise hasn’t released a new show in a while, which he said is intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels weird and inhuman, maybe, to be playing dance music from that region at a time where people in that region are living a nightmare,” Salti said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said that instead, he’s been discovering poetry by poets in Gaza, set to music. He cites one such production by \u003ca href=\"http://www.checkpoint303.com/\">Checkpoint 303\u003c/a>, a nonprofit, experimental music collective founded by Tunisian artist SC Mocha and Palestinian artist SC Yosh. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbAMK41XY\">remixed\u003c/a> the viral poem by Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer titled \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934\">“If I Must Die.”\u003c/a> Alareer published the poem on social media just weeks before he was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The song itself is powerful,” Salti said. “It will make you really, really think about the violence that’s going on and how many potential artists, singers, poets are disappearing before they’ve even seen the world or been given a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Salti acknowledges the power of music as a means of expression and hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of Arab artists and even artists in Gaza itself are finding that music and poetry [are] one of the few outlets they have left,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti also likes to share songs that combine Hebrew and Arabic when he comes across them. “I’m so proud of these artists who come together, you know, Jewish artists with Muslim artists recording a duet. That, to me, is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while Salti may switch up songs for his music mixes, one tune remains constant — his commitment to opening hearts and minds through music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I want listeners to take away when they listen to one of my episodes has never changed, and that is to have a different view of the Arab world and to understand that the difference between East and West is not so vast; that we need to build bridges; that we can both learn from each other,” he said. “And for me, if music gets you to discover tolerance and coexistence, then I’ve done my job.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He also features \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/sets/arabology-interviews\">interviews\u003c/a> with musicians, actors, poets and other culture makers on the show, which began as a weekly live program on KZSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you hear about Arabic music, it just sounds foreign to so many people,” Salti said. “And it gets mixed in with religious chants and religion and Islam — all of which are beautiful — but there’s a whole other genre of Arabic music that is very secular.”\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/9UFCqtbKv_k'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/9UFCqtbKv_k'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>He also hopes that by exposing audiences to the diversity of sounds and stories of various Arab artists, the show will help push back against the stereotypes and demonization of Arabs and Arab Americans in society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If somebody walks away with the idea that, ‘wow, Arabic music isn’t as weird as I would have thought,’ or change their mind about the systematic demonization we see of Muslims, that would be what I want,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A lifelong love of music\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salti’s love for Arabic music started early. “Music has been my best friend since childhood,” Salti said. He grew up in Lebanon, and then in Jordan when his parents moved the family there after the Lebanese Civil War broke out in 1975.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got to Jordan, I was so lonely, and I missed Lebanon so much,” he said. “So I would turn to music and Arabic music — especially the music of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXmVTvVMQz_fggy66HlgQQ\">Fairuz\u003c/a>, who is the number one Lebanese diva.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1983, Salti moved to the U.S. to study at Santa Clara University. Just 17 years old and navigating the culture shock on his own, he again turned to music to help him cope. He credits the couple of cassettes of Arabic music he brought to California with getting him through college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his peers, Salti’s ear for music stood out. At graduation, he and his friends made and exchanged cassette mixtapes as gifts. For his mixtape, he included songs with lyrics in English and French, plus some songs in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I would wait to see the reaction,” Salti said. “And sure enough, I would always get positive feedback. And they would tell me … ‘the way you choose music is so great. You should have a radio show one day.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A show where indie Arab artists shine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Salti is especially known for featuring indie artists, women artists and LGBTQ artists on \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em> — the singers and musicians often ignored by mainstream Arabic radio stations, particularly in more conservative areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can play that kind of music right here at KZSU in Arabic and not have to censor it,” Salti said. “In fact, I can praise it and disseminate it because it is beautiful, powerful music that unfortunately doesn’t get heard enough in the Arab world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11993199\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11993199\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing black clothing points at a piece of paper and stands with a woman who is holding the paper with a picture board and festive lights behind them.\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/IMG_7805-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Arabology’ host Ramzi Salti with Lebanese singer Yasmine Hamdan at the KZSU radio station at Stanford University in November 2017. \u003ccite>(Photo courtesy of Ramzi Salti)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He’s hosted shows that have focused solely on Arab women’s voices. The music of Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://yasminehamdan.com/en/#/#home\">Yasmine Hamdan\u003c/a> — who Salti refers to as “the queen of underground Lebanese music” — is featured often, and Hamdan herself has been a \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/yasminehamdan2017\">guest on the show\u003c/a>. Her 2009 electronic synthpop album \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mNDTYjeKL3sOh2tk9DHu5izNioGedkb9Y\">\u003ci>Arabology\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, as part of the duo Y.A.S., inspired the name of Salti’s podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another artist he’s interviewed and played often on the show is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hamed.sinno/?hl=en\">Hamed Sinno\u003c/a>, who is openly gay. Sinno was the lead singer of the Lebanese band \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPvgAtgTNM\">Mashrou’ Leila\u003c/a> until the group disbanded in 2022 due to harassment and hate campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, they released a song titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1GOmPx-Ba8\">“Shim El Yasmine,”\u003c/a> which translates to “Smell the Jasmine.” It’s a tender ballad about Sinno’s break-up with a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a moment because I think it was the first time we had an openly gay Muslim singer sing in Arabic about what [they are] going through,” Salti said.\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/-a2sOF_hhKw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/-a2sOF_hhKw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Salti said the common theme in all the music he plays is coexistence, whether it’s from artists living on the margins of Arab society or songs with more explicit messages of unity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his go-to artists in the latter vein is Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://www.taniasaleh.com/\">Tania Saleh\u003c/a> and her song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PbJg9v0CM\">“Omar and Ali.”\u003c/a> In it, she encourages Sunni and Shia Muslims to end their fighting and make peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says, ‘Get up Omar, get up Ali, shake hands and become brothers again,’” Salti explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a more personal level, I myself happen to be a Christian Arab, but I’m always assumed to be Muslim,” he added. “A lot of people think the whole Arab world is Muslim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he doesn’t typically correct people because he doesn’t want to feed an idea that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. But it’s a reminder of the stereotypes he and other Arabs and Arab Americans face — and an added motivation for him to continue showcasing different Arab communities and perspectives through his show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We need to build bridges’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ramzi’s dedication to amplifying indie Arab musicians has built him a solid reputation in that scene. Today, the show is a go-to platform for emerging Arab and Arab American musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a stage where every morning when I look at my email, and I look at my messages, there are people telling me about other people, [or] that I need to discover this band. Some bands send me their demos,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, Salti has been pre-recording his shows on a more sporadic schedule and releasing them as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/p/all-my-podcasts.html\">podcast\u003c/a> on streaming platforms, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyf1lyybLSdVr6N4eOuLe0w\">video podcast\u003c/a> on YouTube. This summer, he’s spending time in Jordan, where he plans to interview artists for new episodes of \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em>. He otherwise hasn’t released a new show in a while, which he said is intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels weird and inhuman, maybe, to be playing dance music from that region at a time where people in that region are living a nightmare,” Salti said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said that instead, he’s been discovering poetry by poets in Gaza, set to music. He cites one such production by \u003ca href=\"http://www.checkpoint303.com/\">Checkpoint 303\u003c/a>, a nonprofit, experimental music collective founded by Tunisian artist SC Mocha and Palestinian artist SC Yosh. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbAMK41XY\">remixed\u003c/a> the viral poem by Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer titled \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934\">“If I Must Die.”\u003c/a> Alareer published the poem on social media just weeks before he was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The song itself is powerful,” Salti said. “It will make you really, really think about the violence that’s going on and how many potential artists, singers, poets are disappearing before they’ve even seen the world or been given a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Salti acknowledges the power of music as a means of expression and hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of Arab artists and even artists in Gaza itself are finding that music and poetry [are] one of the few outlets they have left,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti also likes to share songs that combine Hebrew and Arabic when he comes across them. “I’m so proud of these artists who come together, you know, Jewish artists with Muslim artists recording a duet. That, to me, is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while Salti may switch up songs for his music mixes, one tune remains constant — his commitment to opening hearts and minds through music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/sundaymusicdrop\">The Sunday Music Drop is a weekly radio series hosted by the KQED weekend news team.\u003c/a> In each segment, we feature a song from a local musician or band with an upcoming show and hear about what inspires their music.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howan is a San Jose-based indie rock band whose songs are all in Mandarin. The band members were all born in China and later came to the United States to study and work. The music reflects their lives and feelings in both China and the U.S. They met while jamming in practice spaces around the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has a feeling of both nostalgia, but also with the hope and happiness of living here,” says Wenhui, who plays the keys and sings. “In our first album [Howan], a lot of songs are about the sea, and our lead vocalist’s hometown is also a city by the sea in Xiamen, China. In the sound, you can feel a geographical connection between the [west] coast of the United States and the south coast of China.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howan’s influences are funk and math rock while their melodies sound closer to Chinese indie music. Wenhui says that it’s been difficult to meet friends who are willing to make Mandarin music in the U.S., where most people don’t really speak the language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel [when] writing in Mandarin, I can describe things more accurately, and it’s my mother language,” says Fei, the band’s lead vocalist and guitar player. “We do find after our show that there’s always people coming to me saying that they are enjoying our music, while they don’t speak Chinese at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding “Old Head,” Wenhui says it’s the most representative song of how they make a fusion of Western and Chinese music. While the lyrics and the melody have a very Chinese style, the guitar riffs are from funk music. The song is about an Asian grandfather who moved to the U.S. at an early age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He spent a kind of special life here, and he had his own secrets. But at the end of his elderly life, he can still have fun and play mahjong in the mahjong house in Chinatown,” Wenhui says. “He’s living in a completely different cultural environment, but he can still enjoy his life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wenhui says life on the West Coast moves at a slower pace than in China, which gives the band more time and energy to focus on music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like most of the indie music in China now, [especially] the most popular ones, they are extremely emotional and intensively expressing a lot of things, or at least trying to express a lot of things,” she says. “But I feel like here, music is more like just music, where you feel the rhythm, you feel the melody, and you feel happy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band’s members also include Fei on the guitar and lead vocals, Jing Guo on the drums, and Rann on the bass guitar. Howan will be performing at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bottomofthehill.com/20240630.html\">Bottom of the Hill\u003c/a> in San Francisco on June 30th at 8:00 p.m., so you can go hear them live.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The band members were all born in China and later came to the United States to study and work. The music reflects their lives and feelings in both China and the U.S. They met while jamming in practice spaces around the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has a feeling of both nostalgia, but also with the hope and happiness of living here,” says Wenhui, who plays the keys and sings. “In our first album [Howan], a lot of songs are about the sea, and our lead vocalist’s hometown is also a city by the sea in Xiamen, China. In the sound, you can feel a geographical connection between the [west] coast of the United States and the south coast of China.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howan’s influences are funk and math rock while their melodies sound closer to Chinese indie music. Wenhui says that it’s been difficult to meet friends who are willing to make Mandarin music in the U.S., where most people don’t really speak the language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel [when] writing in Mandarin, I can describe things more accurately, and it’s my mother language,” says Fei, the band’s lead vocalist and guitar player. “We do find after our show that there’s always people coming to me saying that they are enjoying our music, while they don’t speak Chinese at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While the lyrics and the melody have a very Chinese style, the guitar riffs are from funk music. The song is about an Asian grandfather who moved to the U.S. at an early age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He spent a kind of special life here, and he had his own secrets. But at the end of his elderly life, he can still have fun and play mahjong in the mahjong house in Chinatown,” Wenhui says. “He’s living in a completely different cultural environment, but he can still enjoy his life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wenhui says life on the West Coast moves at a slower pace than in China, which gives the band more time and energy to focus on music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like most of the indie music in China now, [especially] the most popular ones, they are extremely emotional and intensively expressing a lot of things, or at least trying to express a lot of things,” she says. “But I feel like here, music is more like just music, where you feel the rhythm, you feel the melody, and you feel happy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band’s members also include Fei on the guitar and lead vocals, Jing Guo on the drums, and Rann on the bass guitar. Howan will be performing at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bottomofthehill.com/20240630.html\">Bottom of the Hill\u003c/a> in San Francisco on June 30th at 8:00 p.m., so you can go hear them live.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She’s 102 years old and has lived in San Francisco all her life. She’s heading out for dinner with friends soon but invites me in for a chat about her older brother, George Christopher, who was a former mayor of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found my way to Davies in search of answers to a question asked by Noor Moughamian, an 11-year-old student at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kzv.org/\">KZV Armenian School\u003c/a> on Brotherhood Way. The street, on the southwest side of San Francisco, near Lake Merced and Stonestown Galleria, is a wide boulevard with many houses of worship side by side, including Jewish, Greek Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian and Presbyterian. There are also several schools and community centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noor thinks it’s unusual to see so many churches and schools clumped together. She wants to know which came first, the name Brotherhood Way or the institutions on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Going back to Greektown\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To answer Noor’s question about how Brotherhood Way got its name, it’s helpful to learn a little more about Davies’ family history and her older brother, George Christopher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family came from Greece in the early 1900s and settled south of Market Street. There were so many Greek businesses and residences in that area that it was often called Greektown back then. It had traditional coffeehouses, restaurants, a Greek language school and the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where I was christened when I was an infant,” said Davies. “So that’s been a continuation for me for 102 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11989939\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11989939\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies.jpg\" alt=\"Older woman in a navy blue pants suit poses by a fireplace.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2089\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies-800x870.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies-1020x1110.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies-160x174.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies-1412x1536.jpg 1412w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/EthelDavies-1882x2048.jpg 1882w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At 102, Ethel Davies is still going strong. The younger sister of former San Francisco mayor George Christopher, here she poses before heading out to a dinner date with friends. \u003ccite>(Katherine Monahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Davies was born in the U.S., her eldest brother, George, was born back in Greece. Originally called George Christopheles, he later changed the name to George Christopher. When he was 14, their father became sick. So George dropped out of school and went to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He took over when my father died, and he made a good life for us,” said Davies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher went into the milk business and worked his way into the middle class. In the 1930s, many Greek families and businesses moved away from Greektown to other neighborhoods. The Christopher family moved out to the southwest side of San Francisco, near Lake Merced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the area was still pretty undeveloped. What would later become Brotherhood Way was a forested canyon with a creek running into Lake Merced. During the Depression, men employed by the government as part of the New Deal built a road along it called \u003ca href=\"https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Brotherhood_Way\">Stanley Drive\u003c/a>. It was straight and long and pretty isolated, so for a while, it was a popular drag racing spot for teenagers. At least one car ended up in the lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davies remembers when her brother had the idea to turn that road into a community space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He wanted it to be a church area where all the different churches could meet and be friendly,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After George Christopher became the mayor of San Francisco in 1956, he arranged an auction of the city-owned lands along Stanley Drive. The biggest parcel went to his church — the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church — whose congregation was outgrowing its building south of Market. The rest of the properties went to other religious and community institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faith institutions petitioned the city to change the name of their new address. And in 1958, Stanley Drive became Brotherhood Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>An evolving sense of community\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Brotherhood Way has evolved to reflect people’s changing beliefs and affiliations. The original properties have been subdivided, and new institutions have appeared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Freemasons bought one of the original parcels and built a lodge on the street. However, as membership has waned over the years, the group now rents its space to a Christian church and two bridge clubs. Several community centers have also opened along Brotherhood Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11989951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11989951\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue.jpg\" alt=\"30 foot cylindrical statue sits on a patch of dirt with housing behind.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2466\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue-800x1028.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue-1020x1310.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue-160x206.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue-1196x1536.jpg 1196w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Peace-statue-1595x2048.jpg 1595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The \u003ca href=\"https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Beniamino_Bufano_on_Public_Art\">Italian sculptor Benny Bufano created this peace statue\u003c/a>.

That’s all just ahead on Bay Curious, the show that answers your questions about the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m Olivia Allen-Price. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b> KQED Reporter Katherine Monahan set out to Brotherhood Way to check out the houses of worship and find the answer to Noor’s question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Sounds of chanting\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan:\u003c/b> In the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, blue light shines from the stained glass windows and glitters on the gold-painted walls.

She answers the door in a navy blue suit, pearls and red lipstick. She doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon, so I had to ask: what’s the secret?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>So many people, even my doctor ask me that one. I was a walker. I walked every street in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Davies says her family came from Greece in the early 1900s and settled south of Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>And were there a lot of Greek Orthodox people in San Francisco at that time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies:\u003c/b> There were, there were. Yes. South of Market had Irish and Greek people. It was their neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Greektown, as it was called, had traditional coffeehouses and restaurants and a Greek language school. And that was where the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church church used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>In fact, it was on 7th Street in San Francisco at one time. And today, that is a Ukrainian Orthodox church. And that’s where I was christened when I was an infant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Davies isn’t just a super impressive centenarian. She had a front-row seat to the development of Brotherhood Way because her brother, George Christopher, was the mayor largely responsible for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>I had a total of two brothers and two sisters, and I was the youngest in the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>And where was George in there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>Number one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>He was born back in Greece as George Christopheles but later changed the name to Christopher. When he was 14, their father became sick. So George dropped out of school and went to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>My brother? He took over when my father died, and he made a good life for us. Yes, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>George Christopher went into the milk business and worked his way into the middle class, like many of his fellow Greek immigrants. In the 30s, many Greek families and businesses moved away from Greektown to other neighborhoods. The Christopher family moved out to the southwest side of San Francisco near Lake Merced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music starts\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the area was still pretty undeveloped. What would later become Brotherhood Way was a forested canyon with a creek running into Lake Merced. Then, men employed by the New Deal built a road along it called Stanley Drive. It was straight and long and pretty isolated, so for a while, it was a popular drag racing spot for teenagers. At least one car ended up in the lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music stops\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davies remembers when her brother had the idea to turn that road into a community space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>He wanted it to be a church area where all the different churches could meet and be friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>I assume that he had a relationship with the pastor of the Greek church especially?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>Father Anthony. Yes, yes. He was a wonderful man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>So after George Christopher became the mayor of San Francisco in 1956, he arranged an auction of the city-owned lands along Stanley Drive. The biggest parcel went to the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church — \u003ci>his church\u003c/i> — which was outgrowing its building south of Market. The rest of the properties went to other religious and community institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>It really makes friends of the various religions, which they’re all the same. We all believe in one thing, you know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>The faith institutions petitioned the city to change the name of their new address. And in 1958, Stanley Drive became Brotherhood Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>And I think that Brotherhood Way is a wonderful name anyway, don’t you? Brotherhood Way, yeah. I remember when Father Anthony and my brother celebrated when they came across that name. They were so happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>So the places of worship did come first, and the name followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music starts\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, Davies is stepping out for the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>Oh, I’m going to the yacht club with friends for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>As Davies heads off to her busy social life, I head back to Brotherhood Way to meet another elder, Judge Quentin Kopp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music stops\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp:\u003c/b> I’m a retired San Mateo County Superior Court judge. And before that, I was a California state senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Kopp was also on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and he knew George Christopher through politics. He meets me in front of the Jewish synagogue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>The building has been here since about 1963.\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>It’s tall and angular, with peaked red and blue stained glass windows. Kopp and his family have been coming here for six decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>In 1964, the first of three children was born. A boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Of the original five buildings constructed on Brotherhood Way, four of them were houses of worship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape):\u003c/b> It seemed like religious institution, religious institution, religious institution and then the masonic temple, which, in my understanding, is not specifically religious. How does that fit in?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>Masonry was popular. There was more than one lodge in San Francisco.\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Masonry \u003ci>is\u003c/i> certainly a brotherhood — no women are allowed. It’s a worldwide secretive society that, while not religious, promotes fellowship and community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>Masonry was strong. And, I think that is the origin of giving that property to the Masons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Over the years, Brotherhood Way has evolved to reflect people’s changing beliefs and affiliations. The original properties have been subdivided and new institutions have appeared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Masonic lodge now rents space to two bridge clubs and a Christian church. Several community centers have opened on the street and an Armenian church,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Babbling sounds of people talking and kids playing\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most recent additions is a non-denominational Christian congregation called New North Church, where the Sunday service has just gotten out. Kids are running around out front, dodging between tables of coffee and pastries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall: \u003c/b>We’re like the new kid on the block. So we’re getting to know our neighbors more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan:\u003c/b> Pastor Rob Hall invites me inside the church, which is shaped like a giant triangle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall: \u003c/b>We know the Armenian Church. We know the the Jewish synagogue. And then we’re also getting to know all the RVs down on Lake Merced. And we, we, we do kind of an outreach where we bring coffee.\u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Hall says it’s all about being neighborly and that he likes being near the other faith institutions on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall:\u003c/b> We may believe different doctrines and have different beliefs and core tenets, but my experience has been that we help each other because, you know, San Francisco is not an easy place to be a person of faith, no matter what your faith background is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Hall says people in San Francisco don’t go to church as much as they used to. A lot of his parishioners come from the peninsula.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall: \u003c/b>We have a lot of different ethnicities represented here and then we’re also multi-generational. So we have a lot of young families with kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music starts\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>I called Noor, our question-asker, to see what she thinks about what I found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Noor Moughamian:\u003c/b> I mean, I guess I kind of thought that the street came after everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>Yeah. I remember you saying at the beginning. So you were right. You were right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>So, she wasn’t very surprised that the churches came first and then the name Brotherhood Way.

Large buildings featuring the Star of David, an Eastern Orthodox cross and a crucifix — all in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Noor Moughamian\u003c/b>\u003cb>: \u003c/b>[speaking in Armenian] It means my name is Noor; what’s your name?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>Noor Moughamian is a 5th grader at the KZV Armenian School, also on Brotherhood Way. They learn in both Armenian and English at her school, and just up the road is a Jewish school and a Catholic school, as well as several houses of worship from different faiths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Noor Moughamian\u003c/b>\u003cb>: \u003c/b>I feel like it’s like kind of family, like, community, I feel like?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>The schools plan activities together sometimes, and Noor says there’s a feeling of … brotherhood … just like the name.

And which came first — Brotherhood Way or the institutions on it? Today’s question was selected by you, our podcast listeners in our monthly public voting round. It comes from Noor, who is 11 years old, but to answer it, we get to chat with one source who is 102! That’s all just ahead on Bay Curious, the show that answers your questions about the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m Olivia Allen-Price. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b> KQED Reporter Katherine Monahan set out to Brotherhood Way to check out the houses of worship and find the answer to Noor’s question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Sounds of chanting\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan:\u003c/b> In the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, blue light shines from the stained glass windows and glitters on the gold-painted walls. The parishioners, in suits and dresses, are lining up to receive communion wine from a long, slim spoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all feels suffused with a solemn glory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>More chanting\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>This church has been around for over a century. And so has one of its members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>I’m Ethel Davies, and I’m 102.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Davies lives nearby. She answers the door in a navy blue suit, pearls and red lipstick. She doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon, so I had to ask: what’s the secret?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>So many people, even my doctor ask me that one. I was a walker. I walked every street in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Davies says her family came from Greece in the early 1900s and settled south of Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>And were there a lot of Greek Orthodox people in San Francisco at that time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies:\u003c/b> There were, there were. Yes. South of Market had Irish and Greek people. It was their neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Greektown, as it was called, had traditional coffeehouses and restaurants and a Greek language school. And that was where the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church church used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>In fact, it was on 7th Street in San Francisco at one time. And today, that is a Ukrainian Orthodox church. And that’s where I was christened when I was an infant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Davies isn’t just a super impressive centenarian. She had a front-row seat to the development of Brotherhood Way because her brother, George Christopher, was the mayor largely responsible for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>I had a total of two brothers and two sisters, and I was the youngest in the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>And where was George in there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>Number one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>He was born back in Greece as George Christopheles but later changed the name to Christopher. When he was 14, their father became sick. So George dropped out of school and went to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>My brother? He took over when my father died, and he made a good life for us. Yes, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>George Christopher went into the milk business and worked his way into the middle class, like many of his fellow Greek immigrants. In the 30s, many Greek families and businesses moved away from Greektown to other neighborhoods. The Christopher family moved out to the southwest side of San Francisco near Lake Merced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music starts\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the area was still pretty undeveloped. What would later become Brotherhood Way was a forested canyon with a creek running into Lake Merced. Then, men employed by the New Deal built a road along it called Stanley Drive. It was straight and long and pretty isolated, so for a while, it was a popular drag racing spot for teenagers. At least one car ended up in the lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music stops\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davies remembers when her brother had the idea to turn that road into a community space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>He wanted it to be a church area where all the different churches could meet and be friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape): \u003c/b>I assume that he had a relationship with the pastor of the Greek church especially?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>Father Anthony. Yes, yes. He was a wonderful man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>So after George Christopher became the mayor of San Francisco in 1956, he arranged an auction of the city-owned lands along Stanley Drive. The biggest parcel went to the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church — \u003ci>his church\u003c/i> — which was outgrowing its building south of Market. The rest of the properties went to other religious and community institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>It really makes friends of the various religions, which they’re all the same. We all believe in one thing, you know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>The faith institutions petitioned the city to change the name of their new address. And in 1958, Stanley Drive became Brotherhood Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>And I think that Brotherhood Way is a wonderful name anyway, don’t you? Brotherhood Way, yeah. I remember when Father Anthony and my brother celebrated when they came across that name. They were so happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>So the places of worship did come first, and the name followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music starts\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, Davies is stepping out for the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ethel Davies: \u003c/b>Oh, I’m going to the yacht club with friends for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>As Davies heads off to her busy social life, I head back to Brotherhood Way to meet another elder, Judge Quentin Kopp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Music stops\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp:\u003c/b> I’m a retired San Mateo County Superior Court judge. And before that, I was a California state senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Kopp was also on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and he knew George Christopher through politics. He meets me in front of the Jewish synagogue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>The building has been here since about 1963.\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>It’s tall and angular, with peaked red and blue stained glass windows. Kopp and his family have been coming here for six decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>In 1964, the first of three children was born. A boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Of the original five buildings constructed on Brotherhood Way, four of them were houses of worship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan (in tape):\u003c/b> It seemed like religious institution, religious institution, religious institution and then the masonic temple, which, in my understanding, is not specifically religious. How does that fit in?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>Masonry was popular. There was more than one lodge in San Francisco.\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Masonry \u003ci>is\u003c/i> certainly a brotherhood — no women are allowed. It’s a worldwide secretive society that, while not religious, promotes fellowship and community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Quentin Kopp: \u003c/b>Masonry was strong. And, I think that is the origin of giving that property to the Masons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Over the years, Brotherhood Way has evolved to reflect people’s changing beliefs and affiliations. The original properties have been subdivided and new institutions have appeared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Masonic lodge now rents space to two bridge clubs and a Christian church. Several community centers have opened on the street and an Armenian church,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Babbling sounds of people talking and kids playing\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most recent additions is a non-denominational Christian congregation called New North Church, where the Sunday service has just gotten out. Kids are running around out front, dodging between tables of coffee and pastries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall: \u003c/b>We’re like the new kid on the block. So we’re getting to know our neighbors more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan:\u003c/b> Pastor Rob Hall invites me inside the church, which is shaped like a giant triangle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall: \u003c/b>We know the Armenian Church. We know the the Jewish synagogue. And then we’re also getting to know all the RVs down on Lake Merced. And we, we, we do kind of an outreach where we bring coffee.\u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Hall says it’s all about being neighborly and that he likes being near the other faith institutions on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall:\u003c/b> We may believe different doctrines and have different beliefs and core tenets, but my experience has been that we help each other because, you know, San Francisco is not an easy place to be a person of faith, no matter what your faith background is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>Hall says people in San Francisco don’t go to church as much as they used to. A lot of his parishioners come from the peninsula.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rob Hall: \u003c/b>We have a lot of different ethnicities represented here and then we’re also multi-generational.

I remember you saying at the beginning. So you were right. You were right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>So, she wasn’t very surprised that the churches came first and then the name Brotherhood Way. But she liked learning about the Christopher family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Noor Moughamian: \u003c/b>When the brother stepped in when the father died, I thought that was pretty cool.\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Katherine Monahan: \u003c/b>And she said the story made her think about her school a little differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Noor Moughamian: \u003c/b>It kind of shows that like all the other churches and like school, I guess it kind of shows that everyone on Brotherhood Way is more like a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b> That story was brought to us by KQED’s Katherine Monahan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The June voting round is up at BayCurious.org.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/sundaymusicdrop\">The Sunday Music Drop is a weekly radio series hosted by the KQED weekend news team.\u003c/a> In each segment, we feature a song from a local musician or band with an upcoming show and hear about what inspires their music.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Mare (Jess Konye) is a multi-genre artist who makes songs that are experimental, pop, and electronic adjacent. While originally from upstate New York, Konye moved to the city a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’ll be releasing eight more singles in the coming weeks and playing shows with her six-person band to prep for the production of her first LP. She hopes to have a full-length record ready for the fall of next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mare’s name comes from “lunar mare,” which refers to the large, basaltic plains on Earth’s Moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve always been in love with the moon since I was like a little kid,” said Mare. “My music that I want to create is textural, vibey, ambient, and spacey. So, I chose the name Mare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mare’s musical influences include Debussy and Ravel, as well as Japanese composers Joe Hisaishi and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Mare says she focuses on the texture of her music, referring to the ambient soundscapes that exist in the background of her songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In any given Mare song, there might be like a foreground sound, but there’s also like a lot of ambient [that] just drones in the background,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to songwriting, Mare will start by humming a melody to play on the guitar.

Ro Khanna, whose congressional district includes Silicon Valley. It is the largest single grant the project has received to date, said Walter Wilson, the center’s project manager and the co-founder of the Minority Business Consortium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a sense of feeling amongst African and African Ancestry people here that there is no here in Santa Clara County for Black people. There is no sense of being, no sense of place,” Wilson said. “The center will address that issue because we believe we need to be here. We have to be here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cultural center is envisioned to feature a new location, such as the African American Community Service Agency, the Roots Community Health Clinic, and Ujima Adult and Family Services, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also planned for the space are about 150 homes, all of which will be rented or sold below market rate, reserved for people earning from extremely low to moderate incomes annually. The center will have a performing arts theater, a museum, athletic facilities and retail and commercial spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson said the center has seen years of fits and starts over the decades but feels confident it’s on a track to completion in roughly five years. In all, the project has raised about $30 million so far, of an estimated $200 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year and a half, Wilson said his team would aim to raise their total to $50 million, allowing development to begin, while roughly $140 million from state low-income housing tax credit funding is pursued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project has received funding contributions from a bevy of sources, including local, state and federal governments, nonprofits like the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and corporations such as Google. Crucially, Santa Clara County purchased a nearly 3-acre parcel at 2001 The Alameda that is being held for the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna said the funding is the largest grant that he has secured for a community project in his seven years in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an event on Wednesday to celebrate the grant, Khanna noted how other cultures, including the Indian American diaspora, have benefited from the work of African Americans to push for civil rights legislation in America in the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11988182\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11988182\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congressman Ro Khanna speaks during an event in San José celebrating a nearly $5 million federal grant for the planned African American Cultural Center of Silicon Valley on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The Indian American community has had an Indian community center for the past 15 years, right? The Vietnamese-American Community Center. We can’t have an African American community center, given the history of 250 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow? We need to speak honestly about the economic disparities in this country,” Khanna said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hopes the center, once completed, will attract talent from historically Black colleges and universities to the region and graduates from other top universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that’s what’s going to help revitalize the African American community in Silicon Valley, which is critical for us, not just to bridge the economic divides, but also to lead in the 21st century,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chike C. Nwoffiah, a Nigerian filmmaker and the founder of the Silicon Valley African Film Festival, said he believes the center is bigger than just the South Bay and will help bring waves of young, passionate people from all over the African continent to the region. He lauded the community leaders and organizations who helped bring this project together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are creating a home for people that look like me, and you are saying yes to the fact that we belong and we ought to be here.

Ro Khanna, whose congressional district includes Silicon Valley. It is the largest single grant the project has received to date, said Walter Wilson, the center’s project manager and the co-founder of the Minority Business Consortium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There is no sense of being, no sense of place,” Wilson said. “The center will address that issue because we believe we need to be here. We have to be here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cultural center is envisioned to feature a new location, such as the African American Community Service Agency, the Roots Community Health Clinic, and Ujima Adult and Family Services, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also planned for the space are about 150 homes, all of which will be rented or sold below market rate, reserved for people earning from extremely low to moderate incomes annually. The center will have a performing arts theater, a museum, athletic facilities and retail and commercial spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson said the center has seen years of fits and starts over the decades but feels confident it’s on a track to completion in roughly five years. In all, the project has raised about $30 million so far, of an estimated $200 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year and a half, Wilson said his team would aim to raise their total to $50 million, allowing development to begin, while roughly $140 million from state low-income housing tax credit funding is pursued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project has received funding contributions from a bevy of sources, including local, state and federal governments, nonprofits like the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and corporations such as Google. Crucially, Santa Clara County purchased a nearly 3-acre parcel at 2001 The Alameda that is being held for the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna said the funding is the largest grant that he has secured for a community project in his seven years in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an event on Wednesday to celebrate the grant, Khanna noted how other cultures, including the Indian American diaspora, have benefited from the work of African Americans to push for civil rights legislation in America in the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11988182\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11988182\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/240529-AACULTURALCENTER-JG-1_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congressman Ro Khanna speaks during an event in San José celebrating a nearly $5 million federal grant for the planned African American Cultural Center of Silicon Valley on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The Indian American community has had an Indian community center for the past 15 years, right?
