00:19
And you're probably wondering
why Deaf people would attend concerts,
why Deaf people would attend concerts,
3
7704
4189
Tal vez se pregunten por qué
los sordos irían a conciertos,
los sordos irían a conciertos,
00:23
but actually, music
is so much more than sound
is so much more than sound
4
11917
3730
pero en realidad, la música
es mucho más que sonido
es mucho más que sonido
00:27
simply traveling through the ear.
5
15671
2306
que viaja a través del oído.
00:30
See, Deaf people experience music,
just in a different way.
just in a different way.

3843
La gente sorda experimenta la música
de manera diferente.
de manera diferente.
00:34
For example, my friend Lisa,
7
22872
2314
Por ejemplo, mi amiga Lisa,
se corta el cabello de determinado largo
00:37
she cuts her hair a certain length,
8
25210
1972
00:39
so she feels the vibrations
of sound in the music.
of sound in the music.
9
27206
3753
para sentir las vibraciones
del sonido en la música.
del sonido en la música.
00:44
And music has psychological effects on us.
10
32068
3286
Y la música tiene
efectos psicológicos en nosotros.
efectos psicológicos en nosotros.
00:47
It invokes feelings of nostalgia,
happiness, sadness,
happiness, sadness,
11
35722
6293
Invoca sentimientos de nostalgia,
felicidad, tristeza,
felicidad, tristeza,
00:54
falling in love.
12
42039
1273
enamoramiento.
00:55
It makes you have a feeling
of connectedness,
of connectedness,
13
43774
2904
Te provoca un sentido de conexión,
00:58
and unfortunately,
14
46702
1579
y desafortunadamente,
01:00
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people
are excluded from these events,
are excluded from these events,
15
48305
3210
la gente sorda y con sordera
está excluida de estos eventos
está excluida de estos eventos
01:03
because obtaining a sign-language
interpreter is so difficult
interpreter is so difficult
16
51539
3962
porque conseguir un intérprete
de lengua de señas es muy difícil
de lengua de señas es muy difícil
01:07
and so overwhelming
17
55525
1999
y abrumador
01:09
that they simply don't buy
the tickets or they just give up,
the tickets or they just give up,
18
57548
3642
por lo que simplemente no compran
entradas o se dan por vencidos,
entradas o se dan por vencidos,
01:13
and this is not OK.
19
61214
1606
y eso no está bien.
01:14
We have to make everything accessible.
20
62844
2616
Tenemos que hacer todo accesible.
01:18
So, myself, I am
a sign-language interpreter,
a sign-language interpreter,
21
66889
3866
Yo soy intérprete de lengua de señas,
01:22
so what I have to do is I have
to take music and bring it to life.
to take music and bring it to life.
22
70779
4788
así que lo que tengo que hacer
es tomar la música y traerla a la vida.
es tomar la música y traerla a la vida.
01:28
In doing that, I become a bridge
23
76352
2366
Al hacerlo, me convierto en un puente
01:30
between the hearing world
and the Deaf world,
and the Deaf world,
24
78742
2523
entre el mundo oyente y el mundo sordo,
01:33
making sure that I'm representing music
25
81289
3130
asegurándome de que represento la música
01:36
and the artistry of what music represents.
26
84443
2752
y el arte de lo que representa la música.
01:39
Now, this is a lot of work, OK?
27
87678
2259
Esto implica mucho trabajo, ¿de acuerdo?
01:41
For a regular set that might be 12 songs,
28
89961
3168
Para un set normal de 12 canciones,
01:45
myself and a team,
29
93153
1542
mi equipo y yo
01:46
we have to study over 30 songs
or more for one set
or more for one set
30
94719
3724
tenemos que estudiar
30 canciones o más para un set
30 canciones o más para un set
01:50
and hope and pray
we have the right setlist.
we have the right setlist.
31
98467
2417
y esperar y rogar tener la lista correcta.
01:53
But you know what?
32
101790
1190
Pero ¿saben qué?
¿Saben cuál es la recompensa?
01:55
You know what the reward is?
33
103004
1373
01:56
Looking down in the audience
34
104401
1524

01:57
and seeing Deaf
and hard-of-hearing members,
and hard-of-hearing members,
35
105949
2808
y ver a miembros sordos y con sordera,
02:00
all of those people dancing
and jamming out
and jamming out
36
108781
2969
toda esa gente bailando e improvisando
02:03
and feeling included
in that music experience.

37
111774

y sintiéndose incluidos
en esa experiencia musical.

02:09
For myself, I'm a part of this cultural
and linguistic community,
and linguistic community,
38
117487
3603
Para mí, soy parte de esta
comunidad cultural y lingüística,
comunidad cultural y lingüística,
02:14
and we all communicate in different ways.
39
122298
2429
y todos nos comunicamos
de maneras diferentes.
de maneras diferentes.
02:16
Some of us sign and voice,
40
124751
2046
Algunos de nosotros con señas y voz,
02:18
some of us just sign,
41
126821
1916
otros solo señas,
02:20
but no one way is superior to the other.
42
128761
2546
pero ninguna es superior a otra.
02:23
But you know what?
43
131737
1151
¿Saben qué?
02:24
Those with hearing loss face
daily battles to communication access,
daily battles to communication access,
44
132912
5688
Aquellos con pérdida de audición
enfrentan batallas diarias de comunicación
enfrentan batallas diarias de comunicación
02:30
and those barriers
are put up daily for them.
are put up daily for them.
45
138624
2960
y esas barreras se levantan
a diario para ellos.
a diario para ellos.
02:33
And music shouldn't be one of them.
46
141997
1940
La música no debería ser una de ellas.
02:36
So along with Madame Gandhi
and myself today,
and myself today,
47
144240
2787
Hoy, junto con Madame Gandhi,
02:39
let's break down those barriers.

El pelo en un rodete es lo más divertido.
02:55
Hair up in a bun that's the most fun.
53

02:57
Hearing myself think when I go for a run
54
165312
1958
Escucharme pensar cuando salgo a correr
02:59
or maybe I'm practicing the drums
55
167294
1607
o tal vez practicando batería
03:00
or maybe I'm writing in the sun,
56
168925
1561
o tal vez escribiendo bajo el sol,
03:02
the takeaway point
is I'm talking to no one.
is I'm talking to no one.
57
170510
2056
la moraleja es que no hablo con nadie.
03:04
Protecting my vibes that are wholesome,

06:35
And for me, music was truth.
130
383099

Y para mí, la música era verdad.
06:36
Music was my perspective
into somebody else's point of view,

Amber Galloway-Gallego - Sign language interpreter
Amber Galloway-Gallego is a world-renowned ASL interpreter specializing in music.
Why you should listen
Amber Galloway-Gallego has more than 18 years of sign language interpreting experience and has a master's in ASL/English interpreting. Her certifications are National Certification RID CT&CI, NIC, Texas BEI Level V, Oral Certified: Comprehensive. She has been featured in Rolling Stone, Oprah and Out magazines. Vibe Magazine referred to her the as the most recognized sign language interpreter and "The Jay Z of Hip-Hop Sign Language." On television, she has been featured in "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell," "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and recently she was featured on "The Steve Harvey Show." Galloway-Gallego uses her status to fight for access and equality in the Deaf community.
Frequently praised for her ability to passionately convey the connection between lyrics and sounds, Galloway-Gallego's music interpretations demonstrate the emotional bonds which have driven music lovers to concerts for years. Her interpretations bring the music to life in a way that's not often seen in music interpreting. Deaf audience members have often said they are able to connect to music performance more than they ever had in the past. Her interpretations delighted and inspired hearing music aficionados to learn sign language. Galloway-Gallego has always loved music and the Deaf community, but it was not until she saw the San Antonio Deaf Dance Company and the Wild Zappers perform that she realized that she could hone her interpreting skills to bridge the access gap in the music industry.
