Say It Loud: New Songs for Peace

This week on From the Vault, we speak with musicians Frank “Bulldog” Aragon and David Gomez about recording the album Say It Loud: New Songs for Peace for the inaugural Pacifica Radio Archives National Broadcast in November 2002. Set to audio tracks drawn from the storied collection of the Pacifica Radio Archives, Say it Loud is tapestry of original rhythm and melody weaving a journey into the annals of history, celebrating the likes of Muhammad Ali, Angela Davis, Fannie Lou Hamer, Thich Nhat Hanh, Greg Palast, Lily Tomlin, Huey Newton, Cesar Chavez, Delores Huerta, Rosa Parks, Paul Robeson, Malcom X, James Baldwin, John Coltrane, and many more. Say it Loud: New Songs for Peace was the brainchild of the artist collective known as Polemic Consortium, founded by David Gomez, Frank Aragon, and Mark Torres.
