Episode 23: The Pink Mirror (with Kapil Seshasayee)

This episode features art rocker Kapil Seshasayee. We discuss his 2018 debut A Sacred Bore, a concept protest album dealing with the caste system, which is part of a three-album trilogy. We also discuss a couple of the singles from his upcoming follow-up album Laal, which sheds a light on issues connected with Bollywood. Seshasayee also shares his thoughts on why he feels it is important to use his platform to speak out, the backlash from doing so, and the artists that have inspired him.  I also invite listeners to leave a voice message mentioning their favorite protest album, along with a brief statement of why they connect with the album. These comments may be included in a future episode. They will also be counted as votes for the 500 Protest Albums Project.

This podcast is a companion to the website ongoinghistoryofprotestsongs.com. I started the website on December 6, 2017. Not only have I always been a passionate music fan, but I have always had an interest in the historical developments of music. An important part of that history is the integral role that music has played within social movements. I have always been drawn to music with a socially conscious message.
