Razia Said protests deforestation through song
The Chronicle: Can you talk a bit about how you got started as a musician? Razia Said: My first album was six years ago—it was in English and was [rhythm and blues] jazz because I was going for the American market. I always tried to put Madagascar in my music. I had a guitarist that came from Madagascar and performed on some of the songs, but [the album] didn’t have a lot of Madagascar’s rhythm.
TC: You talked briefly about the trip you took to Madagascar and its influence on the sound of your second album at the symposium. Can you tell me more about its effect on you?
RS: I took a trip in 2007 to Madagascar and at that point, I had decided that after my first album I was not happy with outcome. It was time to dig into my roots and see what was going on there.
I left [Madagascar] when I was 11, and I knew I had to get back there. The trip I took in 2007 was after a trip in 2005 where I met a couple of musicians. On the [2005] trip, I thought, ‘Wow, we have this great sound, and I need to use this.’ So in 2007, I decided to go record stuff in Madagascar, and then I toured Madagascar to get different sounds.

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name…
…and that horse was a primer grey Toyota Tundra with 160,000 miles on it.
This internship has been beyond incredible. I’ve learned more in the past ten months than my freshman year of college. Spending the majority of my time out in the field has allowed me to experience so many unique things – amazing animals, picturesque sunsets, gorgeous scenery, and even a wild looking local or two. How many 24 year-old girls can say they have changed a flat tire on a dirt road in Death Valley in 116° heat?
What I love most about science is that there is always more to learn. The more we learn about the world around us, the better we are able to understand how all of the components of the environment connect. A more complete understanding of these systems enables scientists to make intelligent decisions to manage our natural resources. I want future generations to be able to experience the environment in the same way I have been so fortunate to. Through my course, work, and life experiences, I have developed a diverse background in soil science, watershed management, sustainable agriculture, and wildlife biology. This botany internship has given me a better understanding of how ecosystems are connected. I want to work in environmental restoration and leave a positive impact on the world. This job has brought me one step closer to achieving this dream. Many thanks to all of the wonderful people at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden and the CLM program!...
