Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
Not to throw shade on Beyoncé for topping the charts with her current foray into Country & Western, but rather to shine a light on some Sisters who’ve been out here doing this a long time – we bring you a short list of America’s Black queens of Country music who have yet to receive the recognition they deserve for their talent and authenticity.
"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.
