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.

Amber Galloway-Gallego: Olá.
00:15
I'm a sign-language interpreter
1
3144
1787
Sou intérprete de língua de sinais
especializada em interpretação musical.
00:16
that specializes in music interpreting.
2
4955
2281
00:19
And you're probably wondering
why Deaf people would attend concerts,
3
7704
4189
Vocês devem estar se perguntando
por que pessoas surdas iriam a concertos,
00:23
but actually, music
is so much more than sound
4
11917
3730
mas, na verdade, a música
é muito mais do que sons
00:27
simply traveling through the ear.
5
15671
2306
que simplesmente viajam pelo ouvido.
00:30
See, Deaf people experience music,
just in a different way.
6
18500
3843
Vejam, pessoas surdas vivenciam a música,
apenas de uma maneira diferente.
00:34
For example, my friend Lisa,
7
22872
2314
Por exemplo, minha amiga Lisa
corta o cabelo com um certo comprimento
00:37
she cuts her hair a certain length,
8
25210
1972
00:39
so she feels the vibrations
of sound in the music.
9
27206
3753
para que ela sinta as vibrações
do som da música.
00:44
And music has psychological effects on us.
10
32068
3286
A música tem efeitos
psicológicos sobre nós.
00:47
It invokes feelings of nostalgia,
happiness, sadness,
11
35722
6293
Invoca sentimentos de nostalgia,
felicidade, tristeza,
00:54
falling in love.
12
42039
1273
amor.
00:55
It makes you have a feeling
of connectedness,
13
43774
2904
Ela nos faz ter um sentimento de conexão,
00:58
and unfortunately,
14
46702
1579
e, infelizmente,
pessoas surdas e com deficiência auditiva
são excluídas desses eventos,
01:00
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people
are excluded from these events,
15
48305
3210
01:03
because obtaining a sign-language
interpreter is so difficult
16
51539
3962
porque conseguir um intérprete
de língua de sinais é tão difícil
01:07
and so overwhelming
17
55525
1999
e desgastante
01:09
that they simply don't buy
the tickets or they just give up,
18
57548
3642
que elas simplesmente não compram
os ingressos ou apenas desistem,
01:13
and this is not OK.
19
61214
1606
e isso não está certo.
01:14
We have to make everything accessible.
20
62844
2616
Temos que tornar tudo acessível.
01:18
So, myself, I am
a sign-language interpreter,
21
66889
3866
Sou intérprete de língua de sinais.
01:22
so what I have to do is I have
to take music and bring it to life.
22
70779
4788
Então, tenho que pegar
a música e dar vida a ela.
01:28
In doing that, I become a bridge
23
76352
2366
Fazendo isso, eu me torno uma ponte
01:30
between the hearing world
and the Deaf world,
24
78742
2523
entre o mundo dos ouvintes
e o mundo dos surdos,
01:33
making sure that I'm representing music
25
81289
3130
garantindo que estou
representando a música
01:36
and the artistry of what music represents.
26
84443
2752
e a arte que ela representa.
01:39
Now, this is a lot of work, OK?
27
87678
2259
Isso dá muito trabalho.
01:41
For a regular set that might be 12 songs,
28
89961
3168
Para um conjunto regular,
que pode ser de 12 canções,
01:45
myself and a team,
29
93153
1542
uma equipe e eu
01:46
we have to study over 30 songs
or more for one set
30
94719
3724
temos que estudar mais de 30 canções
ou mais para um conjunto
01:50
and hope and pray
we have the right setlist.
31
98467
2417
e esperar e rezar
que tenhamos a lista correta.
01:53
But you know what?
32
101790
1190
Mas sabem de uma coisa?
Sabem qual é a recompensa?
01:55
You know what the reward is?
33
103004
1373
01:56
Looking down in the audience
34
104401
1524
Olhar para a plateia
01:57
and seeing Deaf
and hard-of-hearing members,
35
105949
2808
e ver pessoas surdas
e com deficiência auditiva,
02:00
all of those people dancing
and jamming out
36
108781
2969
todas elas dançando, se divertindo
02:03
and feeling included
in that music experience.
37
111774
4380
e sentindo-se incluídas
nessa experiência musical.
02:09
For myself, I'm a part of this cultural
and linguistic community,
38
117487
3603
Eu mesma faço parte dessa comunidade
cultural e linguística,
02:14
and we all communicate in different ways.
39
122298
2429
e todos nós nos comunicamos
de maneiras diferentes:
02:16
Some of us sign and voice,
40
124751
2046
alguns de nós por sinais e voz,
02:18
some of us just sign,
41
126821
1916
alguns de nós apenas por sinais,
02:20
but no one way is superior to the other.
42
128761
2546
mas nenhuma maneira é superior às demais.
02:23
But you know what?
43
131737
1151
Mas sabem de uma coisa?
02:24
Those with hearing loss face
daily battles to communication access,
44
132912
5688
Quem tem perda auditiva
enfrenta batalhas diárias
para ter acesso à comunicação,
02:30
and those barriers
are put up daily for them.
45
138624
2960
e essas barreiras são criadas
diariamente para eles.
02:33
And music shouldn't be one of them.
46
141997
1940
E a música não deveria ser uma delas.
02:36
So along with Madame Gandhi
and myself today,
47
144240
2787
Então, Madame Gandhi e eu
02:39
let's break down those barriers.
48
147051
1975
vamos derrubar essas barreiras hoje.

Amber, it's such a pleasure
to share this stage with you,
118
347503
3445
Amber, é um prazer dividir
este palco com você
06:02
and to make my music accessible
119
350972
2222
e tornar minha música acessível
06:05
to an audience who might be
hard of hearing or Deaf
120
353218
3373
a uma plateia que pode ser de pessoas
surdas ou com deficiência auditiva
06:08
and otherwise might not be able
to be included in my music.
121
356615
3565
que, de outra maneira, talvez não pudessem
ser incluídas em minha música.
06:13
And it really wasn't
until this collaboration
122
361679
2569
Realmente, antes desta colaboração,
eu não havia pensado
06:16
that I had thought of the fact
that though I work so much
123
364272
2730
que, apesar de trabalhar tanto
pela diversidade e inclusão,
06:19
in diversity and inclusion,
124
367026
1727
06:20
that my music may not be reaching
as many people as it could be.
125
368777
3186
minha música talvez pudesse não estar
alcançando tantas pessoas quanto poderia.
06:26
I grew up in New York City,
playing the drums,
126
374180
2214
Cresci em Nova York, tocando bateria,
escutando Nas,
06:28
listening to Nas, Lauryn Hill,
Thievery Corporation,
127
376418
3032
Lauryn Hill, Thievery Corporation,
TV on the Radio,
06:31
TV on the Radio,
128
379474
1235
Spice Girls...
06:32
the Spice Girls --
129
380733
1150
06:35
And for me, music was truth.
130
383099
1826
E, para mim, música era verdade.
06:36
Music was my perspective
into somebody else's point of view,
131
384949
3686
A música era minha perspectiva
no ponto de vista de outra pessoa,
06:40
into storytelling,
132
388659
1151
na narração de histórias,
06:41
into understanding how the world works.
133
389834
2093
no entendimento de como o mundo funciona.
06:44
And yet at the same time,
I felt like there was such a disconnect
134
392660
3421
No entanto, ao mesmo tempo,
eu sentia que havia uma tal desconexão
06:48
between the way that I understood
135
396105
1572
entre a maneira que eu entendia
meu próprio senso multidimensional
de minha identidade de gênero
06:49
my own very multidimensional
sense of my gender identity
136
397701
3685
06:53
and the very two-dimensional way
that women and femmes
137
401410
2525
e a própria maneira bidimensional
que mulheres e lésbicas eram
muitas vezes retratadas na mídia.
06:55
were often portrayed in the media.

06:59
As I moved through my life,
140
407727
1477
Conforme eu seguia minha vida,
07:01
I went on to study mathematics
and women's studies at Georgetown.
141
409228
3457
passei a estudar matemática
e estudos femininos em Georgetown.
07:04
I was the first-ever data analyst
at Interscope Records.
142
412709
2963
Fui a primeira analista de dados
da Interscope Records.
07:08
I toured the world
playing the drums for M.I.A.
143
416069
2712
Viajei pelo mundo
tocando bateria para a M.I.A.
07:10
And I did my MBA at Harvard,
144
418805
1355
Fiz meu MBA em Harvard,
07:12
all with the intention of being able
to make a difference in the music industry
145
420184
4033
tudo com a intenção de poder fazer
a diferença na indústria da música
07:16
and move the needle on gender equality
from the business side.
146
424241
2932
e apontar para a igualdade de gênero
do lado do negócio.
07:21
But it was only until three years ago,
147
429356
2452
Mas foi apenas três anos atrás,
07:23
when I ran the London Marathon
bleeding freely on my cycle
148
431832
3443
quando corri a maratona de Londres
sangrando livremente em meu ciclo
07:27
to combat the global menstrual stigma
that women face every day
149
435299
3350
para combater o estigma menstrual global
enfrentado diariamente pelas mulheres
07:30
all around the world,
150
438673
1708
em todo o mundo,
07:32
that I realized that I have a message,
151
440405
2304
que percebi que tenho uma mensagem
07:34
and that the most effective way
that I can convey my message
152
442733
2818
e que a maneira mais eficaz
de transmiti-la
07:37
was through my music.
153
445575
1150
era pela minha música.
07:39
And why music?
154
447777
1217
E por que a música?
07:41
Because music caters to the emotions.
155
449018
1839
Porque a música satisfaz as emoções.
07:42
Music is joyful.
156
450881
1286
A música é alegre.
07:44
Music pulls you in with the beat
and the rhythm and the melodies.
157
452191
3049
A música nos atrai com a batida,
o ritmo e as melodias
e por meio do aspecto comunitário dela.
07:47
The music pulls you in
via the community aspect of it.
158
455264
2593
07:50
And music allows you to access
somebody else's truth.
159
458762
2513
E a música nos permite acessar
a verdade de outra pessoa.
07:54
In the music I listen to today,
160
462074
1478
Na música que escuto hoje,
07:55
sometimes I'm like, wow,
I love the rhythm so much,
161
463576
2382
às vezes, fico assim:
uau, adoro tanto o ritmo,
mas a mensagem é tão misógina,
07:57
but the message is so misogynist,
162
465982
1703
07:59
it's tough to work out to our run to
163
467709
1732
que é difícil ouvir durante uma corrida
ou o que eu estiver tentando fazer.
08:01
or do whatever it is
that I'm trying to do.
164
469465
2017
08:03
I oftentimes say, "I'm not here
trying to turn up to the sound
165
471506
2906
Muitas vezes, digo:
"Não estou aqui tentando chegar
ao som de minha própria opressão".
08:06
of my own oppression."
166
474436
1151
08:07
You feel me?
167
475611
1355
Vocês me entendem?
08:08
(Laughter and cheers)
168
476990
1658
(Risos e vivas)
08:11
So I'm here to build
the alternative instead.
169
479123
2140
Em vez disso, vim para criar
a alternativa.
08:14
In my work, I talk often about
the notion that the future is female.
170
482311
3485
Em meu trabalho, falo muitas vezes
sobre a noção de que o futuro é feminino,
08:17
That we can actually look
to the femme archetype
171
485820
2336
que podemos olhar para o arquétipo lésbico
e obter estilos alternativos de liderança
08:20
and derive alternative
styles of leadership
172
488180
2001
que possam incentivar,
em vez disso, colaboração,
08:22
that might encourage,
instead, collaboration,
173
490205
2297
08:24
emotional intelligence
174
492526
1640
inteligência emocional
08:26
and building a world
that is linked and not ranked.
175
494190
2657
e construir um mundo
que seja ligado e não classificado.
08:29
And so for anyone watching or listening
and experiencing this talk today,
176
497639
4016
Então, para qualquer um que esteja vendo
ou ouvindo e sentindo esta palestra hoje,
08:33
I encourage you to consider
the blind spots in your work
177
501679
3104
incentivo a considerar
os pontos cegos de seu trabalho
08:36
and what partnerships
or collaborations you can do
178
504807
2597
e a identificar possíveis
parcerias ou colaborações
08:39
to be able to make your work
have even greater of an impact.
179
507428
3748
para tornar seu trabalho
ainda mais impactante.
08:43
This next song is called "Bad Habits,"
180
511773
2070
A próxima música chama-se "Bad Habits",
08:45
and it's about being
an even better version of yourself.
181
513867
2620
e trata da questão de ser uma versão
ainda melhor de si mesmo.

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.
