Music for the Masses: Don't Mourn, Organize

Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
A love letter to the masses as we brace for a long and bumpy ride ahead. All we've got is each other – so hang on tight, don't let go, and don't give up. (Inspired by the oft-misquoted words of labor activist and songwriter Joe Hill, who wrote before his death by firing squad in 1915: "Don't waste time mourning, organize!")
"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.
