Thank u for conducting this interview and sharing. I've been in a creative dump lately, and this is a nice 'awakening' moment.

My reaction to learning about Laraaji and hearing his music: Creativity and expression can happen in many forms. But importantly, it's a 'wave' - ebbing, flowing, changing.

Much like earthquakes, waves will break apart rigid and inflexible structures. To be a part of the wave, you have to go with a flow. If you want to be creative, your mind can't be rigid.

I admire how Laraaji is not afraid to express his creativity in different 'wayves', using puppets or non-structured music. Very cool story.

Once again proving your invaluable contributions to cultural discourse and celebrating the GOATs of the world. Laraaji is a national treasure and one of the reasons NYC will always rule the school.
