"Maria Rodriguez and the Hari Krishnas" (1994) by Lynn Nottage is a tale of an Hispanic girl growing up in a closely knit brownstone community in Brooklyn, New York, during the 1970s. The story tracks the humorous observations of a member of that community watching this world in transition. Love, politics, and Hari Krishna. Commissioned by New American Radio. 1994-1995.

In its ten years as a weekly national series, 1987-1998, New American Radio (NAR) commissioned and distributed over 300 original works: conceptual new drama, associational documentary, language explorations, sonic meditations, environmental compositions, musical explorations and works that pioneer new dimensions in acoustic space. Wave Farm is thrilled to be partnering with New American Radio to ensure these works remain available to listeners today and into the future.
