- Leah Song of critically acclaimed Rising Appalachia has been keeping the troubadour spirit alive through the music project she and her sister started in 2006. From the streets of New Orleans to festivals and venues all over the world, Rising Appalachia has connected to the local communities wherever they go. They continue to create new genres of music and a new way of being successful in the music industry. In this talk, Leah shares an alternative to main stream music success, the slow music movement.
Leah Song is a powerful songstress, musician, and global griot steeped in the traditions of Southern Soul and international Roots Music. Living between India, Appalachia, New Orleans, Cuba, and Latin America she tears into songs with outrageous prowess, incorporating sultry vocals, rhythm, banjo, guitar, ballads, dance, and storytelling into her work. Both a performer and a teacher, she travels with fire under her belt, songs in her pocket, and a global girth that carries her spirit to every corner it touches… Soloist, educator, and front woman of the internationally acclaimed project Rising Appalachia, look to see more of her work at www.risingappalachia.com
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Fully support sustainable touring practices. As touring musicians ourselves, we left NYC, bought a sailboat and have been touring show to show this way since 2012. Anytime you want to hop aboard, we have a flutist and accordionist captains aboard! Blessing Leah😍
her voice is so mesmerizing whatever she does sings or talks. Beautiful inspiring band!
The lockdown has forced me to reconsider slow food and slow music. I'm inspired by the message of Rising Appalachia.
"It is a public service... being an artist, performer..." Thank you! So well said, and so true!
I just happened to stumble on to your music on TH-cam. I just started playing the dulcimer by following an online teacher and the name Rising Appalachia caught my attention. When I listened to your band the first time I Knew the band was the most unique I have ever heard. I have since bought 3 of your albums. I find your music very inspiring and recognize what is missing in music today. Your songs bring back the attention to the social injustices, racism and environmental crises that's we are faced with today in the same way the antiwar movement did in the 60s. The song Occupy is one of my favorites. Thank you for what you are doing.
back to the earth movement. simplicity, holistic connected love the talk
100% support this!! I love Leah and Rising Appalachia! The work that they do is just awesome and her voice is so mesmerizing :)
I'm reminded of Carl Jung writing of his idea of the "Self Actualized Person", that being one who is "authentic" in their pursuit of living the life that they desire. This leads to true integrity, contentment and happiness. Thanks for what you do Leah.
no
Not a Jung fan at all people put him on a pedestal but he's just one soul out of infinity with a body... 👁️
So inspiriting and beautiful!! ♥️🍀
Awesome to hear this and know this side of your work, I love you both and always appreciate hearing and watching your creations♥️
Thank you sister.... May you continue rising in love with your reality and the regenerative movement you are celebrating...
you're welcome to our homestead and community in France... love love love. Baba Bear
Yes 🙌 The uprise of Conscious music!!
Slow burn works. Can certainly produce dramatic results. I have recently experienced a spiritual breakthrough, not enlightenment, and Rising Appalachia and Ayla Nereo have been a common intro to my meditation. Really gets me into the heart space. Very grateful.
Try some yaima!
I have lived my life in the industry, and this makes every fiber in my body say YES!
Love you Leah ! Long live the slow music movement and force may be with the troubadours
Thank you, Leah. I love what you are doing. Sending you good vibes for all your travels!
Well said! I’m eager to learn more about the troubadour tradition now, and hope things are moving forward with the train tour concept. Grateful to have seen you, Leah and Duncan yesterday in AVL. 🤘
So good, I really admire this talk, also all they are doing. Love love
Precious! Beautiful Leah, thank you and Chloe so much! ❤️
she is just the absolutely coolest.... troubadour of love,,,,,,
Just what is needed!
And in good time!
It's only the start of a huge movement that is going to stay! Good luck to you!
Beautiful and inspiring vision, thank you!
Creating space & slow movements is way of living life like nature. Thank you for sharing your art works.🙏🏻 Much love for all of us.
This is the movement I have felt the call to be a part of and help create, its part of a bigger future.
I have spent many hours trying to learn a stunning song and language I don't speak. Crazy its exactly what I was doing before I clicked on this. I love the idea of a stronger connection with the community and its people. I pray the gods shine down and bless this cause I would love to see a world just like this 😊
Beautiful! I enjoyed learning about the history of your musical journey!
Thank you Leah, love what you do and how you sing. Can't wait to see you in Amsterdam the 9th of september!
Thank you! For all you two do.
Thank you Leah. Only Love.
Georgia keeps putting out such splendid, insightful, and unique musicians.
Leah, Geez, thank you love, so much
Love what you do! Namaste 💞
Oh how I love you miss Leah
Thank you sister. Stay raw.
Me encanta el trabajo de Rising Appalachia!!, tienen pensado venir a Mexico pronto? necesitamos mas artistas de slow music movement... abrazos!
Just amazing amazing I am living this movement.
Yes Leah!
Love love love love 💗
Inspiring idea. Have you considered touring by bicycle? Two groups I know of have traveled through here on concert tour (Eugene, Oregon) by bicycle. They were able to play in smaller locations than Amtrak stops would allow and at more locations. Definitely "slow" travel. If a concern is adverse weather you could use velomobiles (streamlined enclosed cycles).
Sounds inefficient
Simplemente hermosa! gracias por caminar asi, inspirando y cocreando con tanta pasión y amor!
The world and Humanity needs you so much! Thank Risin Apalachia
Love this music and the message
Brilliant woman.
Bravo, Leah!

Beautiful!! Can’t wait to hear you live again!! Do you sell magnetic bumper stickers promoting the slow music movement?
GREAT!

Well Done Darlin!!!!!!

Anyone know where I can find the full song that Leah sang at the beginning of this talk?
*The answers to my dreams! The turtle wins the race.*
que lastima que no está subtitulada en español
Está en español o subtitulado en algún lado?
I didn't know kiera knightly was so talented!
How is this going now?
Leah, do you watch these comments? Oh, I hope so--I want to talk to you about an aspect of a project rising through me - troubadours in a Circulation System of Spirit connecting nodes of humanity that form the body of the One that we are (who knew?) All selves of the Body need sustenance - "man does not live by bread alone". I hear your plans in this (5 years ago!) and see you are (could be?) another stepping stone (yellow brick in the road?) taking us forward to manifestation of the plan I was "given". Please find me; I'm looking for you...
She even has beautiful hands...long lean fingers.
watched at 2x speed
One dolt out there gave this a thumbs down. Hmph. It wasn't me.
I like their melodies, and I like some of their songs as long as they aren't political occupy crap, but there is nothing new in this concept. Leftwing hippies have been talking this crap for decades. Once they get more recognized and sell more albums they'll get a bigger van or a bus and they'll buy bigger homes and put money in the bank. They'll be like everyone else. Colleges are full of people like this, they talk this talk because it's what they are taught or pressured into saying, but they are in college. Why? Not so they can subsistence live, no. It is so they can make six figure salaries, so they can be the next Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. Love that video Thank You Very Much that Leah does, great voice.
If you want to do real. Then be real.
Boy, this is SOME CORNY SHIT.
she sounds like shes done to many psychedelics....
love you, love Rising Appalachia🙏🙏 you've connected me with so much goodness! took your workshop at Firefly Gathering in 2013, and saw you guys in philly this past year! I love that there were some awesome nonprofits there, like the philly orchard project. 💜💞
