Three extraordinary artists, all known for pushing boundaries, join for an electric programme they have called ‘The Revolution Smells of Jasmine’. It’s the soundtrack of revolution and an homage to protest music in the Americas, from female artists and composers, exploring many different themes of social change, abuse, oppression, and of course, revolution. The quote from Juana Azurduy, ‘Lend me your rifle, because the revolution smells of Jasmine’, evokes the narrative of revolution and social change as a virtuous, feminine war for salvation of society/culture.

The programme centres around pieces by Ariel Ramirez, covering revolutionary leaders of South American countries.
