the production is clean and crispy Watching him fall/Watching him go right in front of me”Teitelbaum sings in the chorus It’s one that I imagine will be incredible live It’s very tongue-in-cheek and almost funny at times One of my favourite things about Blondshell as an artist is the fact that when you’re listening to her songs you occasionally do a double take with your ears Artists that have courage to say what they truly want are so deeply important to the industry “I don’t wanna be your mom/But you’re not strong enough” she opens the song boldly It seems to be a song for girls everywhere and a warning not to try to save and fix people save him.” She sings together with stunning backing vocals.  one of the most candid songs on the album is What’s Fair, also a single about a mother-daughter relationship that appears to be a little estranged but lyrically it’s actually quite sad at times and talks about a mother that is over-critical What’s a fair assessment of the job you did Do you ever even regret it?” It feels like new territory It’s almost like a stream of consciousness “I’ll come back if you put me down two times/You try hard to make me yours/But once you get me I get bored/I’ll come back if you put me down two times” Teitelbaum sings somewhat leisurely and it really shows how vocally talented she is.  A running theme on the album is growing up or looking back at your younger days and ruminating especially on tracks such as Event of a Fire and 23’s a Baby Teitelbaum said: ‘The song is partially about being in your twenties and feeling like you’re supposed to know everything (your parents even had kids around that age!) yet you’re truly in the weeds trying to figure out who you are I wanted it to have a bit of a nursery rhyme feel It’s a heavy subject so it was important to have fun when we made it.’  If You Asked For A Picture is a deeply candid and confident record but it doesn’t shy away from asking important questions.  This week's Band of the Week is Brighton quartet Slung - who have just released their debut album 'In Ways' via Fat Dracula An epic reprise from the indie rock collectives’ first in five years with the scholars - an ambitious nine-track rock opera magnum opus Sextile blend synth and punk together on their latest record in a way that has never looked – or sounded more fun creating music that’s impossible not to dance to Toronto's very own soul star delight Tanika Charles shares the video for new track 'Talk To Me Nice' - the third single to taken from her upcoming album 'Reasons To Stay' Cardiff rock band HIMALAYAS have just released the new album 'Bad Stars' - an impressive explosion of sound The post-punk psychedelic powerhouse group that is Squid spun the heads off of the crowd lucky enough to see them perform at Camden’s Roundhouse Dreampop outfit Portland make their return with soaring alternative pop release ‘Lay Me Down’ which hits just about as hard as our first introduction to the band;

bringing Matt Horn’s nationally acclaimed barbecue to the Central Valley with more smoke The James Beard-nominated pitmaster—known for redefining West Coast barbecue—opened the new location on Saturday taking over the former Slow & Low space on Railroad Street with an expanded menu and a 100-seat patio made for live music and long afternoons The Elk Grove restaurant marks the first expansion of Horn’s flagship and signals a new phase of growth for his AH2 Hospitality Group “Elk Grove presents an ideal opportunity to grow our brand and contribute to the community,” Horn says “This is part of our long-term vision—to expand into key markets where we can deliver an authentic and elevated barbecue experience and open up new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.” On the menu: all the hits and cornbread that channel generations of Southern cooking whole chicken and scratch-made milkshakes—boozy or not—add playful “Elk Grove gives us the space to innovate without sacrificing the tradition that defines our barbecue,” Horn explains and introducing menu elements that expand what barbecue can be—while keeping the soul of it intact.” a serious bar program and live music on the patio this is more than a line-up-and-wait kind of spot Horn plans to make use of that expanded format with collaborative events and guest pitmaster appearances “We’ve created a place that reflects the local community,” says Horn and it brings people together the way barbecue always has.” This new location in Elk Grove carries that legacy forward—while offering Horn a chance to

non-state actors fueled by their Muslim Brotherhood doctrine have positioned themselves as supporters of certain Islamist movements These alliances threaten regional security and stability particularly concerning the ongoing conflict in the Horn of Africa with deepening crises particularly in Sudan and Somalia Qatar has cultivated relationships with a range of Islamist groups often promoting political Islam as a counter-narrative to authoritarian regimes in the region which has engaged in a prolonged conflict against the Saudi-led coalition Qatar’s backing often includes financial support and media outlets like Al-Jazeera that amplify their narratives Qatar’s involvement with Al-Shabaab has been more complex While the group is classified as a terrorist organization Qatar has also been known to support various factions within the Somali government aiming to stabilize the region while simultaneously countering the influence of rival groups This dual approach complicates the local political landscape and often exacerbates existing tensions Turkey has emerged as a key ally of Qatar in supporting various Islamist movements Its military and logistical support often includes advanced weaponry and training further empowering groups like the Houthis and Al-Shabaab Turkey’s strategic interests in these regions align with its broader ambitions to project power and influence in the Islamic world Turkey has provided humanitarian assistance and military supplies to the Houthis viewing their struggle as part of a broader resistance against Saudi hegemony in the region Turkey has invested heavily in the Somali National Army and infrastructure projects while also reportedly providing support to factions aligned with Al-Shabaab Both Qatar and Turkey have historically supported the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots across the Arab world viewing them as legitimate political actors This alignment has fostered a network of Islamist groups that share ideologies and goals leading to increased collaboration among them the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood has been particularly significant with factions vying for power amid the ongoing conflict The Brotherhood’s legacy in Sudan dates back decades and its members have played crucial roles in various governments the current conflict between the Islamist SAF and the secular Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has further divided the political landscape Qatar and Turkey’s support for Islamist factions complicates the situation as these groups often have competing interests and allegiances Egypt’s fragile domestic situation is often overlooked While former President Mohammed Morsi only enjoyed limited rule nearly 60 percent of Egypt’s 110 million people are known to support the Muslim Brotherhood This influences the Al-Sisi government’s relationship with Hamas primarily between the Islamist SAF and secular RSF both of which have historical ties to Islamist movements The ongoing violence has created a humanitarian crisis with millions displaced and in need of assistance Qatar’s financial support for various factions has sometimes been perceived as an attempt to maintain influence over Sudan’s transitional government Turkey’s military assistance and political backing have bolstered certain groups This foreign involvement raises questions about the long-term stability of Sudan and the potential for a resolution to the conflict Somalia’s Al-Shabaab is sponsored by Qatari funds and trained on the ground by the Iranians – and they are about to take over Somalia; Mogadishu is in danger of falling within a matter of weeks will control a major Muslim majority African country is a mixture of the highest strategic importance and many interests – commercial and military – by the great powers from the West to the East If Somalia and Eritrea fall to the extremists Ethiopia will be dangerously exposed and left to fend for itself Ethiopia represents the last country standing to fight for security and stability in the Horn of Africa Western sanctions must be lifted from Ethiopia and it must be equipped financially and militarily to lead the fight against the Islamists needs to support them with intelligence as part of a strategic alliance between Addis Ababa there is no difference between the SAF and Sudanese Army General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan a direct descendant of Sudan’s pro-terror leader Omar al-Bashir These leaders are Muslim Brotherhood to the core and are being financed today by Qatar The Islamist SAF is in a bitter battle with the RSF which is doing its best to prevent Sudan from falling to the Muslim Brotherhood They recognize what will happen to Sudan if the country falls to the Islamists Once the Muslim Brotherhood controls Sudan and they push into Egypt from the south the Brotherhood in Egypt will join with the Brotherhood in Khartoum It is not far-fetched to assess that this dangerous development could result in Al-Shabaab and the Brotherhood controlling Egypt with the full arsenal of the Egyptian military Turkey will find its way through Syria and threaten Israel from the north sandwiching the Jewish state between Egypt and Turkey This constitutes a strategic and even existential threat to Israel’s future and Sudan underscores the complexity of these growing asymmetric subversion in the Red Sea and wider Middle East region they not only shape local dynamics but also contribute to ongoing instability characterized by its multifaceted conflicts and competing interests reflects the broader challenges confronting the Horn of Africa and the Middle East a concerted international effort will be essential to address the root causes of these conflicts and foster genuine pathways to stability — Razorbacks fans have been so deep in their natural state of doom and gloom after Arkansas lost three straight SEC series that they probably haven't absorbed the true impact of this past weekend's sweep of the Texas Longhorns Not only are the Hogs within two games of Texas for the SEC crown but they are two games ahead of the closest competition in LSU and Georgia That means Arkansas is about as close to a lock for a double bye in the SEC Tournament as they can be at this point the sweep put the Razorbacks atop the SEC in overall wins and secured yet another 40+ win season under head coach Dave Van Horn This is Van Horn's 16th 40-win season at Arkansas and the eighth consecutive season that will be completed to reach that many wins  Arkansas started 11-5 in 2020 before that season was shut down because of COVID "We needed to win the series," Van Horn said About the time you think you've got it figured out somebody will get you three times on the weekend We just kept hanging in there to find a way to win another game something Arkansas has only done once under Van Horn it should have more significance than the last time it happened but lost to NC State in the Super Regional after blowing out the Wolfpack 21-2 in the opening game Arkansas' two most successful recent seasons came in 2018 when the Hogs were a dropped fly ball from winning the College World Series and 2022 when Arkansas got beat twice by an Ole Miss team that barely made the tournament to miss out playing in the CWS championship series eventually won by the Rebels That loss dropped the Hogs to 46-21 and sent the program into a postseason tailspin that has led to less playoff success each season culminating with Arkansas not even making the finals of its own regional last year the Razorbacks should win at least one game in each of its two remaining series and one in the SEC Tournament working with the idea the Hogs will have at least three wins heading into the playoffs it will take three to get out of the regional and two more to advance from the super regional That puts Arkansas at 48 wins heading into the College World Series the Razorbacks will need to collect five wins to claim a championship putting the Hogs at a minimum of 53 wins for the year That would break the 51-win records of the 1985 team that was honored this weekend and the 1987 team that ties that record shortly after It would also mean accomplishing something either of those two loaded rosters were unable to accomplish — winning a championship that's all a lot of wishful thinking at this point Arkansas just won its first SEC series in a month even if it was a sweep over the nation's No The real test as to whether the Razorbacks are back on track will come as LSU and Tennessee close the season for the Hogs then will come the time for fans and players to dream of program records and championships The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content

football program has been incredible and Deion Sanders played a major role in that Sanders took a team rooted to the bottom of college football and turned them into a program that every NFL team is watching. Jimmy Horn Jr. and LaJohntay Wester were drafted on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft with an opportunity to make a name for themselves in the NFL Colorado hadn’t had a player drafted since 2021 when tackle Will Sherman was taken in the sixth round He was the only player drafted by the program in the past four seasons Coach Prime has turned that program into a genuine opportunity for its players with a national spotlight cast on them year-round The Hall of Famer has enlisted the help of several other NFL legends further adding to the ever-growing draw of playing for Colorado Warren Sapp is coaching on defense while Marshall Faulk coaches the running backs Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Sanders and the coaches running the program Colorado had four players drafted in the 2025 NFL draft After Sanders was finally drafted in the fifth round Colorado had two receivers go off the board within five picks of one another in round six Horn has a tremendous relationship with Coach Sanders who has acted as a father figure for the wide receiver while with the program The two have visited Horn’s father in prison together Coach Prime walked out with his arm around the talented playmaker to show his support In the Buffaloes’ latest YouTube video, centered around the draft prospects Horn spoke about his relationship with his coach: “Coach Prime did a lot of things for me behind closed doors that he didn’t have to do and he too spoke of the opportunities that transferring to Colorado presented: It really molded me into the player that I am today Horn was drafted by the Panthers, who are looking to continue adding playmakers as they build around Bryce Young Horn played over 94% of his college snaps out of the slot amassing 1,973 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in his four-year career Wester spent the first four seasons of his college career at FAU having been a zero-star recruit coming out of high school He had a breakout year in 2023 with a career-high 1,164 receiving yards and scored eight touchdowns He then transferred to Colorado for the 2024 season He transferred to prove he could be a role player in a high-volume offense Wester caught 70 passes for 880 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in his lone season with the Buffaloes He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, where he’ll have an opportunity to contribute on special teams early on.

Texas hitters were subdued throughout the game by Arkansas left-handed starter Zach Root Root showcased his longest outing at the perfect time -- the first Razorback to pitch six innings in a little over a month Root struck out his new career-best 11 batters through 8 innings of 2-hit ball on 99 pitches The lefty's breaking balls ravaged Texas' lineup on two-strike counts "Uh no," Root said in response to if another career moment matched Thursday Although both are ranked in the top five teams and at the top of the SEC Texas and Arkansas headed into Thursday battling injuries The Longhorns have lost ace pitcher Jared Spencer and last year's Big 12 Player of the Year remained at designated hitter while easing back from an injury Arkansas right fielder Logan Maxwell and second baseman Gabe Fraser ultimately did not play Van Horn said on the pregame radio show that Fraser's back region has been bothering him the most and backup Reese Robinett played first base flawlessly "We're the walking wounded right now," Van Horn said who transferred to Arkansas from the Division II Lincoln (Tenn.) Memorial is an interchangeable backup piece in the outfield and made up the improvised right side of the defense that has scarcely been used this season "I think a lot of guys in the dugout think he should be playing more,"Hogs Coach Dave Van Horn said "It's been tough not putting his name in the lineup every now and then to be honest with you And I can tell they really pull for him because he doesn't say anything about not playing Boles hasn't gotten a constant rhythm of at-bats all season but he has been a key substitution with an ailing Logan Maxwell The latter has almost tripled the number of at-bats But Boles drilled his second homer of 2025 into the Hog Pen in left field during the second inning to kick off the scoring Texas starter Ruger Riojas began the game with an efficient four outs on 13 pitches smacked a first-pitch double to finally put some pressure on the Razorbacks tacked on three more extra-base hits on Ruger Riojas and charged the right-hander with nine runs The most he had given up was three heading into Thursday Riojas rotated in an eephus pitch to Charles Davalan Davalan struck out swinging and was the only Hog without a hit "I can't remember the last time I saw one," Van Horn said of the pitch First one looked like the ball just slipped out of his hand Riojas was a Saturday and Sunday pitcher before Jared Spencer's injury and has taken over the Friday night role the past two weekends Last weekend during a sweep of Texas A&M Cam Kozeal golfed a home run 411 feet on a full-count pitch to blow the game open at 5-0 it was like a Wiffle Ball pitch," Kozeal said The shortstop and team-leader in home runs later doubled in the at-bat to make it 8-0 in the fourth followed suit to score the game's last run This document may not be reprinted without the express written permission of Northwest Arkansas Newspapers LLC Material from the Associated Press is Copyright © 2025 audio and/or video material shall not be published rewritten for broadcast or publication or redistributed directly or indirectly in any medium Neither these AP materials nor any portion thereof may be stored in a computer except for personal and noncommercial use The AP will not be held liable for any delays errors or omissions therefrom or in the transmission or delivery of all or any part thereof or for any damages arising from any of the foregoing CHARLOTTE — Jimmy Horn Jr. is fearless you know," Horn preached Saturday night after being drafted No Playing ball in the neighborhood with my friends and you can't play football scared;

Ruger Riojas went out there against Arkansas, hoping to get Texas a win against an old rival there was a moment that caused a buzz around Baum-Walker Stadium even Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn laughed on the matter during his postgame press conference Van Horn was in good spirits because Arkansas wound up performing well against Riojas. He was gone from the game before the fourth inning was over, only getting 11 outs. All nine of Arkansas’ runs were charged to his name, allowing seven hits and walking another while striking out just four. The Razorbacks got two home runs off Riojas as well.

The odds of Arkansas seeing Riojas again this season remain slim. He is out for the final two games of this series, needed next Friday for Texas’ penultimate SEC series of the series against Florida. Maybe if there is a postseason matchup between the two squads whether it be in Hoover for the SEC Tournament or in Omaha in the College World Series. The eephus will be at the top of mind for Arkansas if they do get to face Riojas a second time, though. Van Horn admitted it can get into a batter’s head considering how awkward the pitch is. Well over 40 miles per hour below what guys usually see inside the box. Starting this series off with a win was massive for Arkansas. Chasing down Texas for the SEC regular season championship is not going to be easy. No better way to make ground than beating them head-to-head. Two more massive games remain in Fayetteville.

AI and the influence of future generations It feels like a statement record – politically in-tune with the worries of the current youth and the dangers that AI poses to the music scene heavy and carried by Melissa Scaduto’s vocals – the attention may be on the collaborations here but it’s important to note how distinctive her voice is.  The ability to look inward for personal reflections at the same time as get the crowd moving makes Sextile work so well It’s part of their charm – the dance upbeat energy of their live performances make them a name to be reckoned with on the live scene – an act impossible not to see live having seen them eat up the audience at End of the Road last year There are shades of The Prodigy on this record and that is no small comparison – it’s rare these days that you’ll see a band just wanting to have fun and that’s what Sextile are capable of doing beneath it all.  Scaduto and Brady Keehn are looking out for the next hit at every turn – drawing influence from bands like Ash Code The Cold Night and the Agnes Circle – reaching deep into the underground of the genre It’s full darkwave in the best kind of way I’m a big fan of later tracks in the record like Hospital and Soggy Newports and the album achieves its consistency throughout in style It’s appropriately archaic – “every day is such a fight” Hospital’s lyrics call – and that’s the energy that resonates across the entire album vulnerable album closer that brings fans back down to Earth but ends the album on the highest notes possible The 80s influences are kept consistently brilliant and engaging throughout the record – the techno-influenced vibes make it easy to imagine Sextile blaring their signature sound in the backing track of say a Michael Mann film during an intense club scene Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn didn’t mince words regarding the Razorbacks’ injury concerns Van Horn and crew won two in a row against Texas That makes it all the more impressive that Van Horn and crew are winning Especially with injuries to Carson Wiggins and Logan Maxwell “We’re the walking wounded right now,” Van Horn said Arkansas jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning giving the visiting Longhorns all they could handle in a 9-1 game Friday Texas mustered just one run in the fourth inning Positive news was provided via an initial MRI on Wiggins Van Horn says a second one will take place to provide a “more thorough look” at the injury Elbow injuries are to be taken seriously with pitchers and Wiggins is no different “He’s going to get another MRI today just to double check everything,” Van Horn said Wednesday. “The first one came back positive. So now, we’re going to have another one today that includes a little more thorough look.” By clicking "Subscribe to Newsletter", I agree to On3's Privacy Notice, Terms and use of my personal information described therein Van Horn was asked for further information on what was behind the positive report Van Horn implied Wiggins might be out for the rest of the year no matter what the second MRI goes on to show “It might be today when we do the dye test It doesn’t mean he’s going to pitch again this year If there’s a nerve issue or something jumped out In an injury update ahead of the series against Texas Van Horn also revealed the grim outlook for Maxwell “He’ll be available, but he’s not doing much right now,” Van Horn said. “So, that’s where we are with him. He might be able to play during the series sometime. Might be able to just hit, pinch-hit. I don’t know about playing in the outfield yet. But, yeah, he’s down.” at Detroit Lakes Hospital to Lyle and Karen (Ellenberg) Horn of Deer Creek Devin liked to tell his birth story of how he was born in a March snowstorm via emergency c-section with the cord around his neck after his Ma had labored at home for three days with a midwife before going to the hospital He was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Deer Creek on May 1 He had many fishing tales of his adventures with Tom and Terry Wendt He was a member of the Deer Creek Go Getters 4H club and showed dairy cattle and sheep He started working for area farmers at the age of 11 Devin graduated from Wadena-Deer Creek High School with the class of 2001 He liked to say he was the last class to complete K-6th grade in the Deer Creek elementary school After high school Devin joined the National Guard he completed his basic training at Fort Knox He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom with the 1-194th Apache from October 2004 to December 2005 He made lifelong brothers in the military and was incredibly proud of his service to our country Devin’s Ma drug him along to a horse trail ride event outside of Henning They went on their first date the following week They remained together through deployment where Devin told Samantha if they could make it through Iraq they could make it through anything Devin and Samantha resided on a farm outside of Deer Creek Devin worked at Evergreen Equipment while farming They moved to his grandparents’ home farm on county road 140 where they welcomed Ella in 2009 and Everett in 2011 In June 2015 the demons nearly consumed Devin but God wasn’t done with him on Earth and kept him here with us Moving to their safe haven home outside of Henning in Sept 2015 Devin welded Crestliner boats at Lund’s and would work the fall potato harvest with RDO before he was able to farm full-time for himself he took pride in his hay fields and raising calves He worked hard to improve his beef herd and start Ella with a dairy herd and improve her genetics The last year he worked as an independent breeding technician for Select Sires where he loved to visit with the farmers and increase his knowledge of the dairy industry He had a deep love for International Harvester tractors and had a vast knowledge of their equipment lines the demons consumed Devin and he died at his home at age 42 his grandparents; Edgar and Ella (Guse) Horn Aunts; Caroline Horn and Joyce O’Hern In-laws: Rick and Karen Loock; Jamie and Andrew Martinson; Kelly and Charles Olson; Pa Lyle Horn; siblings: Luke (Laura) Horn; Gina (Cory) Chase; nieces and nephews: Brayden Unicorn Dreams Slush is available nationwide starting May 5; SONIC App users get early access now SONIC® Drive-In is ready to transport fans to a world of whimsical wonder with its newest, most wonderful creation yet – the Unicorn Dreams Slush.

The unranked Razorbacks humbled the Longhorns with a 42-11 victory that exploded into an all-night party on the famed Dickson Street police shut down the street and a memorable celebration ensued "I think the game started at 11 a.m., and the party stopped at about 11 a.m. the next day," Van Horn said. "It was fun. I had only been here about a month. I just remember one of their players said, the week before they interviewed him after Texas beat somebody, and he said, ‘Hey, Arkansas you haven’t seen nothing yet.’ And then they came up here and we got after them pretty good." More: Arkansas baseball needs more from weekend starting pitchers to stop SEC slide More: Three takeaways as Arkansas baseball falls to Florida, loses third straight SEC series Van Horn has plenty of other memories from his personal battles with the Longhorns citing a big hit that helped win a Friday night game in Austin He also singled out a 5-4 win over the Longhorns on March 22 1985 when he was a grad assistant and the Razorbacks played their first home baseball game at night under the lights of George Cole Field Those historical accounts might feel like distant memories from another world, but Van Horn is one of the few tethers that can bind these programs' history when the the No. 5 Razorbacks (37-9 19-2) go to battle this weekend inside Baum-Walker Stadium Arkansas baseball and Texas will open a three-game series Thursday (6 p.m meeting as SEC foes for the first time in the rivalry's history It will be the first weekend series between the teams since 2005 and only three players who featured in the 2023 Opening Day matchup are still around for this top-five showdown Van Horn knows his team might not understand the extent of this neighborly rivalry "I don’t think any of (the players) talk about it because none of them were here back when we were in the Southwest Conference 1 ranked team in the country and it’s the University of Texas." losers of three straight series for the first time since 2016 and the lineup's depth is being put to the test with the sustained absence of Nolan Souza Senior outfielder Logan Maxwell will be limited against Texas while pitchers Parker Coil and Carson Wiggins are likely out for the renewed rivalry The challenge of righting the ship becomes more difficult with each passing week Texas is on a 10-game winning streak and has arguably the best pitching staff in America The Longhorns' 3.07 ERA ranks second nationally behind a dominant weekend rotation featuring Ruger Riojas (8-1 Spencer was ruled out for the season last week with a shoulder injury Arkansas must ignore the opponent and look inward to get its season back on track The challenging close to the regular season continues with No That’s kind of our thing right now," Van Horn said "Sometimes we get carried away worrying about the other team use the players we have available to help us win the series."

In the region of the Atlantic Forest in particular, one study found that the surface temperature of a hectare increased by one degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) whenever a quarter of its tree cover was razed If the entire hectare of forest was demolished temperatures could spike by four degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) experts say the Maxakali territory has grown hotter and drier That increases the likelihood of wildfires sparking Last year even broke a record for the number of wildfires in Minas Gerais. In less than nine months, 24,475 wildfires were tallied — far exceeding the previous record high in the whole of 2021 Scarce rainfall also heightens the risk of fires as does the seemingly endless guinea grass which creates a thick carpet of flammable material across the landscape Grass fires can spread four times as quickly as forest fires leading the Maxakali to nickname the invasive plant “kerosene” Some blazes are started accidentally within the Maxakali communities themselves is a frequent part of Maxakali death rites which often involve the burning of the deceased’s clothing and it is also used for cooking and to clear areas of snakes But wildfires are not the only consequence of the changing climate The river in the village of Pradinho has shrunk so much that villagers are unable to bathe The water has dried up,” Damásio explained Maxakali territory once spanned at least three large valleys in the Atlantic Forest Elders in the village remember how the forest supplied food medicine and construction materials — in addition to serving as habitat for the yãmĩyxop spiritual beings central to Maxakali beliefs “There were medicines in the forest for us,” explained Damásio we would use the bark from the trees to feel better But the four remaining Maxakali reservations — reduced to 6,434 hectares (15,900 acres) of pasture — contain less than 17 percent of their original vegetation Some experts consider the Atlantic Forest to be regionally extinct That absence has many Maxakali leaders turning to reforestation — and finding in their musical traditions an ecological blueprint of the past Singing organises life in Maxakali villages: Music teach history or transmit practical instructions like how to make bags or weave fishing nets “Songs tie together the whole Tikmũ’ũn social structure,” said de Tugny who is also a musicologist at the Federal University of Minas Gerais means being capable of taking care of the spirit considered to be the song’s creator Ancestral songs also provide an extremely detailed register of local ecology Contained in the lyrics are hundreds of species of flora and fauna now extinct in the territory “Even dogs have a song within our religion.” some of which don’t have names in Brazil's national language and only two of which are currently present in the territory The lyrics supply information about bee behaviour that many Maxakali have never witnessed first-hand “They are like photographs of every detail that exists in the Atlantic Forest: the names of insects moments of relationship between an animal and a leaf ritual songs also play a crucial role in helping the forest regenerate Singing is a daily part of their work in Hāmhi's tree nurseries Nursery caretakers not only sing to seeds as they are buried but they also make music as part of the regular rhythms of harvesting and cultivation The song lyrics help participants remember the ecological knowledge of their ancestors And while some of the work at Hāmhi is dedicated to planting fruit trees and other crops the project's leaders see reforestation as key to reducing the region's fire risks the Hāmhi project has planted over 60 hectares (148 acres) of fruit trees and 155 hectares (383 acres) of Atlantic Forest vegetation The goal is a reforested area nearly twice that size Programme participants have also organised themselves into a provisional fire brigade and even created natural fire barriers using traditional methods like planting species of fire-resistant vegetation “Songs help the forest grow,” said Damásio We are calling on the forest to grow back.”
