A Look at Prop 50; Meet the Duduk Whisperer; Altadena Homeowners Resettling in RVs

Election Day is almost here, and in most of California, there's just one measure on the ballot: Proposition 50. Backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, Prop 50 aims to create more Democratic-leaning districts. It's a move to counter Texas's redistricting plans favoring Republicans. And some heavy hitters are lining up on both sides, including former President Barack Obama, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. KQED Politics and Government Correspondent Guy Marzorati joins us to talk about some of the finer points of the ballot measure. Plus we meet vocalist and musician Khatchadour Khatchadourian. He plays an ancient double reed woodwind carved from apricot wood called the duduk that has cultural ties to Armenia. Khatchadourian is one of the few in the Bay Area who plays the instrument, and his followers call him the “Duduk Whisperer.” Our producer Elize Manoukian brings us this profile of Khatchadourian, who uses the duduk to push the boundaries of traditional Armenian music, and along the way, is helping to preserve cultural identity through sound. And we head to Altadena where the the first handful of new homes are under construction in parts of fire ravaged city. Most people won’t be moving back in for several months. But some neighborhoods that were completely wiped out in the Eaton Fire are already being resettled by property owners living in trailers and RV’s. As reporter Steven Cuevas discovered, these residents could be key to restoring the spirit and resilience that’s defined Altadena for decades. Learn more about your ad choices.
