Music for the Masses: Hudson Valley Hanukkah #4 (Audio)

Dec 18, 2022

It's a Hanukkah party! With a diverse musical selection ranging from classic to contemporary, from klezmer to kitsch, we celebrate the fire, food, and fun that symbolize the Jewish Festival of Lights. Covering a spectrum of genres from both the Old World and the new, the listener may be as surprised as the Maccabees were when they discovered that one night's worth of lamp oil lasted for eight.

"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.
