You have a flight to catch! This is my final show before I take off to Berlin for a brief moment. Ich muss untertauchen… Berlin is perfect for those moments. I don’t know when I’ll be back but enjoy the prep phase with me. I say I don’t know when I’ll be back because once Berlin has you there’s no telling when and how you’ll come out.

Enjoy the show 🙂

Commonwealth of Notions / Deutscher Jam presents:

Hallo Leute and welcome to our Deutscher Jam. This show should serve as a connecting ground to showcase and play current and classic German Artists here in Richmond. We are going to be pulling away from the stereotypes and stigmas one may think when picturing modern day Germany through sound and music. The shows mission is to pull individuals away from viewing Germans as the stereotypical picture of solely drinking beer, eating sausage, wearing lederhosen, and the population only consisting of one race. It’s time to give German a facelift and showcase its talent and culture through a youthful lens.Berlin | History, Map, Population, Attractions, & Facts | Britannica

Ladies! Where is the representation? Why is it that there are so man y dope female artists but not enough airplay? Why is it that on some Stations they only require a minimum of two female artists played? Lastly why on one of the largest independent Radios in Berlin RBB the Radio hosts only get the opportunity to showcase there favorites for 20% of the time? Point is we want answers and something needs to change! That’s why I am here as the first woman of color to have established a modern German Radio Show here in America. We all know Def Jam correct? Record labels used to be the gatekeepers of great music. Then that stopped and the flood gates opened to anyone courageous enough to show cases there talent. Deutscher Jam is the gatekeeper of German music. Only the best of the best get airplay on this show. We see a lack of many minority groups in the spotlight but the biggest are women. “They” meaning the male dominated industry says the want less, but I say we want more. Women speak that truth! The LGBTQAI+ community speaks that truth! Deutscher Jam is opening the door tonight and is goi9ng to great you with nothing but feminine energy tonight. In pursuits to give women and the LGBTQIA+ community the recognition the deserve Deutscher Jam is the vehicle to amplifies these voices. The hoe_mies in Berlin addressed it first and I am right in line with them

Berlin is the Matrix of the universe…….

My goal is to one day meet you in-person. Richmond sounds nice but I’d rather it be based off timing and alignment in Berlin. Berlin is such a magical place. I say it’s the matrix of the universe because it truly is. Tonight we will explore Berlin through sound. Berlin forces you to go within. Berlin forces you to jump out of your physical meat suit. Berlin will confront you with who you truly are. Bist du bereit? Are you ready? Are you ready to step into another dimension of yourself? Berlin pushes you into a rebirth of oneself. Close your eyes and enjoy the sound of Berlin. Hopefully you will travel into the unknown and discover the deeper meaning of today’s human experience.

Alles Liebe,

Janell

Deutscher JAM is a German Radio Show based in Richmond, Virginia. As a woman of color living in-between the German and English speaking worlds, the lack of proper representation became extremely apparent. Thus by amplifying the voices of German artists, we are able to honor and showcase Germany’s diversity in a proper manner.

“We are going to be pulling away from the stereotypes and stigmas one may think when picturing modern day Germany through sound and music. The shows mission is to pull individuals away from viewing Germans as the stereotypical picture of solely drinking beer, eating sausage, wearing lederhosen, and the population only consisting of one race. Hip-Hop has created a platform for Germans to ignite change and rebrand the face of their society. This current generation of Hip-Hop artists are reshaping everything about what being “Made in Germany” means”

*Ding Ding* “Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s get ready to Rumble!”

Let’s welcome to the Ring an array of powerful women. Artists such as Schwesta Ewa, Eunique, and Kitty Kat are going to hit us with a heavy right hook. So don’t be surprised if you’re knocked into another dimension by the end of this show. Tonight “Deutscher Jam” is our ticket into a show of a lifetime. But before we bear witness to a golden performance I have a question for you. How often due we get the honor of indulging in a ladies night? Not often. So let’s take in this legendary moment.*Grabs Popcorn* I think this is going to be a good one…….

Hallo Ihr Süßen 😉 Seid ihr bereit? Are you ready? Join us as we embrace the topic of “Love”. Love, such a mysterious thing. Yet communicated so well throughout each language. Love is such an easy thing to give yet self-love is often neglected. I bring up the importance of recognizing the person in the Spiegel(mirror). You are all you got so give props where props are due. Tonight you will be diving with the rest of us tuning into Deutscher Jam into the unknown. Enjoy tonight’s Artists as they guide us through the topic of “Liebe”.

 

Alles Liebe,

Seit ihr bereit? Are you ready? Let’s hop on the Deutsche Bahn and go on an adventure. Join us as we Tour de France with a number of different Artists. We’ll slow down for a moment and enjoy the scenery of the countryside. Once we’re finished reset at a Café in Paris. Should we switch the scenery? Rome? What a trip, let’s jump back on course and tackle the DACH(Germany along with the German speaking worlds). Get ready for a complete full body immersion.

It’s the passion for me. Maybe it’s the Soul. The twinkle in the eye you notice as they speak their truth. The connection.  Anyhow, tonight’s show will showcase drei sprachen(three languages). French, Italian, ending with a final dose of Deutsch. Das Connection serves as a connecting ground for all human beings awake to our unique magic. Join us as we explore the unknown. Deutscher Jam is here to showcase every person and brand that will further bridge you into another dimension of yourself. Whether it’s by offering language courses, content, resources, events, or music we got you!

Shoutout of the day: Nowisa

The founder Raida states,

“Education should be based on your willingness, not your income. Depending on where you are born, you don’t have access to the same things, especially when it comes to free education and strong currency. In order to decrease inequalities, Nowisa wants to provide education to the majority and the best courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced. No administrative papers, no expensive flights, no university fees, no visas. Just you, like-minded people and native speakers, taking back the right to learn and exchange knowledge and culture.”

It doesn’t end there, the name Nowisa is a funny take on needing “No Visa”. He spoke on his beliefs that no visa is needed to meet people from around the world and acquire a new language. Functioning as a connection between worlds it was a no brainer to include him on an episode of “Das Connection”. From the countryside of France, he functions as one of the connections that’ll allow you to explore another world through the art of language.
