Episode description
Montreal singer-songwriter Bells Larsen joins Elamin to talk about why he was forced to cancel an upcoming U.S. tour due to Trump-administration visa policies that directly target trans people. His upcoming album 'Blurring Time' is out April 25. Plus, 'Art of Dancehall,' is a new book by Major Lazer's Walshy Fire, and it documents the genre’s rise from the streets of Jamaica to the global stage through the flyers and posters used to promote local dancehall club nights and street parties. Elamin speaks with one of the book's contributors, Toronto-based dancehall archivist Sheldon Bruce, AKA Muscle.
