Music for the Masses: Bopping Through the Bosporus
90.7-FM in NY's Upper Hudson Valley and wgxc.org/listen everywhere

Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
Our musical adventures find us crossing the Bosporus Strait to cruise around the Balkan and Mediterranean region, with stops at Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Turkey. The Bosporus (a.k.a. the Istanbul Strait) is considered the boundary between Europe and Asia, as it connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmar to reach the Mediterranean Sea. With its long history as a crossroads of the world, the Bosporus has seen great migrations come and go, all of them leaving their unique mark on the music of the entire region.
"Music for the Masses" invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm. Discover the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene. For the avid globe-hopper and armchair traveler alike. You might want to pack a map and a sandwich. Catskill resident "DJ Neva" is an ethnomusicologist, producer, and long-time cultural activist, specializing in music from the entire African continent, as well as the Caribbean and Latin America, the Maghreb and Middle East, and the Roma (Gypsy) diaspora. Formerly the producer of "Continental Drift" on WBAI-FM and New York International on Haitian community station Radio Soleil in NYC. The show is broadcast live from Catskill, NY.
