Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
On the occasion of both Father’s Day and Juneteenth, this broadcast is dedicated to the memory of my dear father, Harry Wartell, and his life-long dedication to resistance, persistence, and the interconnection of people's struggles for liberation throughout history and around the world.
"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.
