Music for the Masses: Summer's End Swing (Audio)
Limber up, shake it out, and grab your nearest dancing partner! We bid a wistful farewell to the waning days of summer with a Sunday afternoon dance party featuring swingin' grooves from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. (Part 10 of our ongoing "Swing" series.)
"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.
